Oceangoer2

We were on Silhouette in Nov. '23 and chairs and footstools were on our balcony then. Asked for a lounger and steward 'tried' to get one, but he said he was 'caught' coming down the back stairs with it...LOL....and had to return it. Now I have to resort to paying for footstools to be abducted from somewhere they are hiding them.

Only saw pics of the cabin, but this ship is absolutely not for me...Looks pretty bare bones and a tacky curtain on the closet?? What does the rest of the ship look like I wonder.

What a shame it's come to a 'bring your own' footstool. Next we'll be slinging a fold up chair which will recline. Hopefully the recliner chairs won't be next replaced by the E class style of comfort. I wonder if this is only on Equinox and not across the S class ships?

We bring US $ cash for offshore dining or drinks/tips; for more expensive purchases we use our Canadian Visa card and the bank's exchange.

OMG...awful! needs padding but those 'stick's could be dangerous walking into them.

oops....DH always carries a Swiss knife...wonder if that's allowable. Goes through customs with it in a tray...never stopped.

Maybe try this? Still LD, but this is a number which may give you a quicker response. It WAS a direct number...maybe changed with the new President onboard.

One of us in the past has dis-remembered...LOL....I went to IT Lab and they reinstated the time. There's a log they have access to and can tell it's minutes not used. Hopefully this helps others.

by me for sure...when DH and I both have 240 it's all we need to carry through our cruise.

Can you share 'response' or is it privileged? Sometimes high execs do not want their conversations published.

I thought it was just a slip like we all make...but just in case...with being an almost double zenith..... your 'comments' would carry weight, so posted the updated address. BTW, I somehow missed the photo with Laura...can you re-post or direct me to the thread? TIA.

Hi Jim....somehow my post to you crossed with another poster...hope this helps you to convey your important message to the new X President: ****** Lisa has moved back to parent some time ago......new President is Laura B ....

do you know if that's across all cabins, eg Concierge?

I see u have a friend in google as well....😉. Thanks for the info and help with forward planning. They've been working on the 'wave' situation for a number of years. Not sure it's implemented yet.

Have been avoiding E class but will cave pretty soon....they do look beautiful and most love them; I'm sure you would too. Docked next to Ascent last Nov before she headed out to sea....very very big but the lack of a true balcony has been the deterrent. Would book a suite or SV (aft with true balcony) when we do book. You may like the Infinite cabins with the open window (I call them Juliette as in Europe) balcony.

Love the ship...been on her more than 5 times...it's one of the S class which is refurbished.

No...we sailed just before they transferred the port to Ravenna for ships over 25000 tons (google is my friend, I didn't know what the limits were). Just found out more if it's interesting to you... "LARGE CRUISE SHIPS TO BE BACK TO VENICE IN 2027. Although cruising has a small part to play in Venice's issues, the recent decision by the authorities was quite surprising. Starting in 2027, larger cruise ships will be allowed access to Venice. Sep 25, 2023"

Equinox a few years ago.

If it's helpful and only our experience but must say we're not 30ish..😉. Sailed Celebrity from Rome to Barcelona taking in Venice, etc in mid September into early October. Don't remember any children but must have been some considering law of averages. Cruisers ages I would say was 50ish to 80ish (minority in our experience). Our table companions, 8 of us, were approx: 25 - a honeymoon couple; couple in their 50's; another in 60s; and I remember 2 older ladies maybe 70s who were very quiet but seemed to enjoy the lively conversations. Weather was very nice, sunny and warm but Venice was rainy, cool and I wore 2 light golf jackets...didn't spoil our trip in a gondola or walk through Marks square. We were invited to sail away (one of the last from there) the next day and the weather was terrific...no sweaters. So it's changeable. Hope this helps and it wasn't too long an explanation. BTW...you can choose a table for 2 and then find friends around the martini bar, pool, or various activities. Lots of choices if you don't want to dine at a larger table and take pot luck...LOL.

or you failed to be clear. The OP seems happy with either demographic, but perhaps not a lot of children. These posts take on a life of their own. Carnival IS a good option for the younger patrons...and Celebrity might not be a good fit...yes you're right....👍

Not what the OP said, but in answer to what you said..."f you are wanting to meet and mingle with those in their thirties and forties I would say that Celebrity is a poor choice."

Are they asking now on both sites for an age notification? or do you have insight into one's postings as to which demographic they belong? 😉🤔. As for suite customers, yes, lately there has been more than usual suite booking identification, along with how many sailings, and their CC status. Perhaps there are many more who enjoy the 'suite' life, but they choose to keep it to themselves.
