    We thought the male singers were very good but the girls were all screechy sopranos.  DH was not impressed with the productions and felt we had seen better.

     

    I think that sums up our thoughts as well.

     

    I enjoyed Uptown but the rest were just ok...

    S-Class Cabin Information Compilation - PLEASE - DO NOT POST CABIN QUESTIONS HERE!!!

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    SHIP: Equinox

    CABIN #: 9147

    DECK #: 9

    CLASS: Veranda

    AREA: Forward Port Side

    BED NEAR: Bathroom

    QUIET?: See comments

    BALCONY VIEW: Unobstructed

    BALCONY SIZE: Normal

    WIND A PROBLEM?: No

    SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

    PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: This room is right outside the elevator area so if people are around the elevators noise can be an issue and also bright lights in case you are trying to sneak out early in the morning. Also, it did not seem like the balcony door was sealing fully so noise from outside was present even if the balcony door was closed and locked. Finally, this is a connecting room where the door opens inwards which can be an issue if the bathroom door is not fully closed.

    Just figure out what cruise(s) you would be interested in and give them a call and ask what they can do for you.

     

    I haven't received an email from them in over 6 months (and they haven't returned any of my emails).

    We were on the same cruise as well - lots of families and children (very few college age kids) - were told 300 by the kids club staff. Didn't cause us any issues or impact our cruise much at all.

     

    I do agree with the earlier comment about the chair hogs - not a single chair (no exaggeration) to be found on the last sea day!!

    Is this a new program called "One touch" familiar to anyone else?

     

    I have been in contact with them.

     

    Purchased OBC hoping to get the good Canadian exchange rate but as my cruise was booked in USD was charged USD on my CC. They promised to get me the OBC at the posted Canadian rate but it went nowhere - ended up ignoring my emails - not very impressed at all!

    SHIP: Silhouette

    CABIN #: 1407

    DECK #: 10

    CLASS: Concierge (C1)

    AREA: Aft

    BED NEAR: Bath

    QUIET?: Very quiet

    BALCONY VIEW: Perfect view out the back - no view to either side

    BALCONY SIZE: Normal veranda size

    WIND A PROBLEM?: No

    SOOT A PROBLEM?: Yes (balcony had to be cleaned daily and any items left out had to be brushed off)

    PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: As there is no overhang the balcony will get the full sun. Also, being a normal sized balcony, with the concierge class footstools, space is quite limited.

    Longer sailings and children

    in Celebrity Cruises

    This topic is about bringing kids on longer cruises. Those who drag their kids have always said, if you dont want to see children , go on longer cruises, avoid school vacations, etc.

     

    We do all that. So when I saw that topic, I thought wait a minute, there goes our opportunity to travel on an almost kid free cruise. Yes even one kid is too many, when that kid is jumping into the pool, splashing everyone and the parent tells you that they paid the same as you did and will do as they wish.

     

    So I am not at all happy to see ANY topics that have people asking questions about bringing their children on board .

     

    When it is not holiday time and the cruise is a lengthy one with a port intensive itinerary, you betcha many of us will be giving these parents a dirty look as they drag their kids to all those places that children are just craving to see.

     

    As for all the children just loving the nothingness of Celebrity, how many of them have been on Disney and have said, oh that is boring, I prefer Celebrity and if they have said that , I would begin to worry.

     

    Sounds like you might want to consider renting a private yacht where you can better control who else is on board.

    10-day Celebrity: yes or no?

    You and your child have just as much right to cruise as the uppity crowd who think kids should be at home. We've always cruised with our kids and have never had anyone actually say anything. I've had an old doll sneer at us, but I just laughed at her and felt sorry for her husband. Most people love to see kids having fun and enjoying themselves.

    We just came back from a Celebrity back to back 4/5 night cruise in January/Feb and there were 30 kids on the first sailing and 75 on the second. You just never know. I am sure there will be at least a few on your sailing. Our kids club staff were really great - regardless of how many kids were in the club at any one time.

     

    +1 to this.

    Longer sailings and children

    I am looking at sailing one of the 10-day Equinox Caribbean cruises Jan 2016 and am considering taking my child, who will have just turned 5.

     

    We have taken our daughter on a number of Celebrity 10 day cruises and there has always been at least a few others in her age group. Having fewer kids on board is a bonus - more one on one attention from the kids club staff which she loved.
