No coconut ranger cookies, sorry to say. They do usually have gluten free coconut macaroons at either Cafe Al Bacio or the gelato station. Very sweet and gooey.

Is there such a thing? We have insurance for Sept. cruise, but I have recently been diagnosed with a rather debilitating condition. Probably can go in Sept., but maybe not. Is there any thing I can do to mitigate the pre-existing condition exclusion?

On Equinox in May Capt. Matt announced birthdays every morning, just referring to first names.

On Equinox in May the cookies were available at the ice cream station in the OVC every day and were sometimes at the gelato station and sometimes at Cafe Al Bacio.

Another vote for the octopus!

We cruised on Equinox in May and saw none of what you describe. Granted, we did not dine in the MDR so can't speak to that.

Been that way for a few years now. RCI has charged for room service for several years.

I know they can do simple repair jobs, like mend a broken shoe strap, sew up a hem, bring Gorilla glue to fix whatever, etc.

Clinique on Equinox in May.

You are all correct, of course about the butler. I was SO disappointed on Equinox in May that there was NO cheese in the OVC at lunch. I usually make my own cheese plate.

Could we order the cheese plate to go at Luminae? Not all the time of course.

Unfortunately, we are on July 24. Oh, well. We do have trip interruption insurance in case we test positive on turn around and get kicked off.

When does, or has Celebrity quit paying for quarantine hotel, please? This is for Ft. Lauderdale.

Which ship and departure port was this, please?

I enjoy the varied music presented in the different lounges, usually from about 5 until 11 or so. They usually do 45 minutes sets. and then rotate around to a different venue. There is usually live dancing in the Sky lounge on deck 14 later in the evenings. Theater shows can also be guest performers, some very good. We loved the "Rave Ons" who did Buddy Holly music in the theater on our May Equinox cruise. We've also seen a 4 Seasons Tribute and a high energy group called "Uptown". So there are many different shows possible in the theater for your cruise.

I understand that no dining packages available is common for holiday cruises.

Yes, if you just transfer it to the desired booking. If non refundable, I think there is a charge of $100 to move it to a different booking.

Cafe Al Bacio opens at 6:30 AM. Coffee is available 24/7 in the Oceanview Cafe. My husband likes to go to the Spa Cafe about 6:30- 7 AM and get coffee for both of us with half and half as a big treat. These are not Elite perks, but available to all. And in my considerable experience with the RCI machines, they are down as much as they are actually working. Also, never saw one available before 6:30 AM. That might have changed since 2018, our last RCI cruise.

I have the butler either leave a shrimp cocktail or a cheese plate with good crackers each evening. We ask for ice twice a day. Our Personal Retreat Hosts usually bring a bottle or two of wine on different days.

There is also a children's menu but you have to ask for it.

Way back when, Samba Grill was open at no charge for lunch on the Oasis class ships. Is this still the case, please? How about on the Radiance? Is there any place for lunch at no charge other than Park Cafe, Dog House and WJ? Do the ships still have the salad bar in the MDR for lunch on sea days?

Silhoutte has been fully revolutionized, with hot tub on Retreat sun deck. None of the other S class ships have been fully revolutionized, nor have that feature.

The web site is confusing to me. I thought Allure was in Galveston starting this Nov. Now I see Harmony there. When approximately is Allure in Galveston and Harmony in Galveston, please?

Do you know if the Back to Backs were tested on your cruise helen?

Hope the Monopole Blue is available on Equinox when we sail in July! Cheap Chandon was the only champagne in May.
