Good call on the google reviews c-leg.

I just wish there was more info on this tour.

As a former teenage boy myself, I'll just say that I would've loved to do a tour like this lol.

We're booked on the wonder on the 11th of next month, and I'm trying to decide while we still have time to cancel. 

The only thing I could find out about this tour is this... But it aint much.

Hi, 

My wife is trying to get our family (w/5 year old) to do this tour. I can't find any reviews, anywhere. I was wondering if anyone had any experience. Good bad or otherwise.

Does anyone have any experience with this tour? My wife wants to take our family (with 5 year old), any insight would help. I cannot find any reviews or people talking about this tour.

I am of the impression that no more then two guests can be in an AQ cabin.  Did you get two cabins?  You should check.

Keep it on the down low. We're going to dress our kid to look like carry-on luggage and hope it makes it through the x-ray machine.  Shhhhhhhh

Just to be clear...in AQ, were the closets also changed to the ugly glass doors and open shelving on the Equinox?  Or does the existing closet arrangement still remain?  

 

To ShipMonster.     

I agree with others who voiced concerns about your having 3 persons to a room.  In your post you mentioned your wife, and then made the statement "We're booked for aqua class in Nov and with a toddler, we were hoping we'd have new carpeting in the room."     Sounded like three to a room to me, also.  I think you could have come back with a more pleasant response and explained that you would be getting 2 AQ staterooms instead of the snarky responses.  

 

Having said the above, we have been in AQ where a couple brought in an infant to dine.  The staff loved it!  The baby belonged to a staff member and wife.   Wife and baby were visiting the ship.  They dined one night in Blu.  No problem. 

 

IMO, I would be most bothered having a child staying next to my stateroom in AQ . I have two grandchildren, so I know they can make some noise.  Those staterooms are not very sound proof.   My DH and I book AQ mainly because of the smaller, quieter, and intimate dining experience. And although we love children, we also think the chance of having children in AQ are very slim because the staterooms are sold as 'spa, relaxation, etc.'  We don't expect that there will be children.   

 

BUT, you have every right to book a child into one of the AQ staterooms.  To my knowledge,  nowhere does it say  that children are not allowed in an AQ.   Hope you have a wonderful time!

Snarky? Haha I wasn't even warmed up. Lets do what they've done to me, to you....

"IMO, I would be most bothered having a child staying next to my stateroom in AQ.."

 Unless X has changed their policy a child can't sail ALONE in a stateroom. I just did a mock cruise on their website and I put in 1 child and it told me that was unavailable. Maybe someone can shed light on this!! I've cruised before and I don't like the idea that there's a remote possibility of have a child stay by themselves. I would call DYFUS.  Was it the baby of the staff member who was by themselves? I hope this person knows that most people book a cruise with the idea that there wont be a parent-less child running around.....

I could do this for days, it's so much fun, however I have a life. Now you understand that the main point I was making was lost on everyone. My child/booking is of no concern to anyone on here. Additionally, if people choose to maintain their ignorance of the English language, or the inability to understand high level reading concepts, then I get to be snarky. Especially if they continue to idealize innocence due to their ignorance. All I said is we booked AC and we have a baby. If a person read that and thinks "This person has one room booked with three people" that's your projection and problem, not mine.

I'm done talking about my kid. At least there's a few on here who understand.

Maybe Celebrity cruise line is for people who want exclusivity but can't afford the adult only cruise line??

/\ Now that was snarky :) 

For those who didn't get it.....That last line was was in jest, if you didn't realize it *We're booked on Celebrity* I was making fun of myself.

Would it have been so hard to share this information with us in your first post?  If we knew that you had booked more than one cabin, our responses would have been much different.  Just a little advice for the next time, no disrespect intended.  Enjoy your cruise!

I was addressing the OP, not you. My comments were about the cabins, and my statement about having a kid was in regards to the carpeting, not about how many people we booked. You took that duty onto yourself and garnered my response because of it. It looks like you're the one whom may need advice and what to post on the boards, not me.... No disrespect intended.

P.S. We will enjoy BLU with our toddler. If someone wants a "child free venue" they should've booked an adult cruise.

Shipmonster - I just joined the Equinox roll call and noticed we're on the same sailing!  Would you mind sharing the name of the Equinox facebook group that your wife has been following (is that against the rules on these boards?!) .  I'm excited to learn about the continued changes. 

 

Props to X for figuring out how to rework the renovations due to circumstances beyond their control!

Well hello shipmate. My wife says the group is called Celebrity equinox, and within that group is subdivisions for each cruise. I'm not into the FB groups as they're too much for me (it seems this forum is too haha) but the FB group has current photos and information for the cruises happened right now.

This is intended as a polite question, not trying to be confrontational (at all). You mention being booked in AQ with a toddler. To my knowledge, AQ allows only double occupancy, so I'm wondering if there has been a change to that policy, overall, or in certain staterooms?

40 minutes ago, Lady Arwen said:

I was thinking the same thing!  These cabins, to my knowledge, only sleep two passengers and really not enough space for a crib or cot.  Perhaps, there have been recent changes and I'm hoping the OP will let us know.  Also, a toddler in Blu might be an issue for some folks looking for a quiet and child-free venue.

There has been no policy change regarding double occupancy restriction.  Perhaps there is another person involved but not named? A nanny or another relative so that there would be two staterooms booked?

I also am wondering about 3 in a Aqua cabin.

I just tried to do mock bookings on a couple of ships and when I put in 2 adults and 1 child Aqua showed as unavailable.  Remove 1 person and Aqua was available.  

So looks like no change to occupancy limit if 2

Please let us know how you booked Aqua Class with a toddler.  These cabins are for two people only and perhaps you did not tell whoever you booked with (direct with Celebrity res agent or independent travel agent) and they are unaware that you would be bringing a child with you.

Yes, We’re thinking the same thing. Two to a room.  In all the sailing we have done in Aqua Class, we have never seen a child.

We hope they check with their ta for confirmation before any disappointments at the last minute.

 Haha this forum is a trip. We never said it was just the 3 of us traveling. If this was a treasure hunt Cruisestitch would've won. Don't worry guys Celebrity knows how many people we're bringing, they even offered us a crib and a high chair. But thanks for your concern.

Hello everyone!

 

I know there a quite a few threads regarding the dry dock of Equinox. However, I didn't find answers on my questions - maybe because some threads are very long with dozen of pages. I apologize if this has been answered before.

 

1. Did the Aqua class staterooms get any upgrades or changes or only suites? From what I read, the balcony furniture changed for all staterooms and there might be new mattrasses.

2. Any changes to the Spa?

3. Blu - new menu maybe?

 

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Ingo

Guten tag, I don't know much about this cruise line but my wife follows an Equinox facebook group that's more active than this board. She was telling me they they're still preforming the re-fitment during certain port days. Literally throwing out furniture and materials at a port and installing new ones on the same day. She also said that Celebrity won't be done with the *total* refurb until 2021. We're booked for aqua class in Nov and with a toddler, we were hoping we'd have new carpeting in the room. I think the take away from all of this is that the Equinox will be changing over time, week to week. We're just sitting back watching the trip reports drip in.

We are booked in Aqua Class on Equinox for a Christmas sailing. That "perks" list is pretty uninteresting. Did they add complimentary pool towel service to make the list look longer? May need to rethink this sailing.

Thank you for posting your experience and sorry there were so many issues. Your "Bad" and "Ugly" items outweigh the "Good". 

Here's the full list

Helen,

We paid extra for these "perks" and if they're not included then there's issues.

We sailed on Equinox last summer in Aqua class. We enjoyed our experience so much that we booked the Eastern Caribbean itinerary for this summer while we were onboard.0

 

The Bad

As mentioned in my other posts, there were a lot of cuts made to Aqua Class benefits. No canvas bags, no priority check in, no foot stools. These weren’t a big deal, but the culmination of all these cuts lead to the feeling of degradation to Aqua. Other than Blu which is only slightly better than Silhouette, we really didn’t see the benefit of Aqua and would probably save our money in the future.

Thanks for the detailed overview. We're 1st timers on x cruises and we booked AC cabins for later this year. How is it possible for them not to have priority embarkation? As I've seen a few other people on here say the same thing, I called their help number to ask but the wait was too long. It sounds like you have grounds for a refund or OBC.

Well after reading this thread I called the family member that booked our NOV cruise on the EQUINOX and said people are on here saying the AC cabins aren't receiving priority embarkation, daily water ECT. My family member is a loooooong time cruiser of X and isn't worried. They think it'll be worked out by the time we get there. 

 I have a question. Can you take the table from inside the cabin and put it on the balcony to make a bigger table/foot stool? I don't cruise often but I love eating on the balcony in peace, this is important for me when cruising.
