AndreaAndrews87 Posted September 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi cruisers, I have heard that Equinox has scheduled a dry dock for April 2014. Does anyone know what will be different afterwards? Is the ship getting a "Qsine" restaurant or the "hideaway" area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you heard that or from whom but right now she has a full schedule on the books....... April 4th is a 10 night Caribbean Cruise April 14th is a 13 night....TA crossing. She leaves from Ft. Lauderdale and ends in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 4th is a 10 night Caribbean Cruise April 14th is a 13 night....TA crossing. She leaves from Ft. Lauderdale and ends in Spain. After the transatlantic there's no cruise till May 8th, passengers disembark on the 27th April in Malaga, then no cruise till Barcelona on the 8th May. I heard it was routine dry dock :) http://www.shipcruise.org/cruise-ship-refurbishment-dry-dock-schedule/ Edited September 16, 2013 by DebbieMacG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was dry dock too? :) Hi Debbie, that is May;) OP said they heard drydock is in April..... I was just trying to point out April would not be possible since she has a full schedule:D.... Maybe those days she will be drydocked or maybe she is being chartered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be totally correct she will enter dry dock in April (28th) and it does say April on the schedule but I see your point :) Edited September 16, 2013 by DebbieMacG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimletgal Posted September 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yes, Equinox is scheduled for dry dock in April, 2014. No idea what they will be doing to her, however! I'm sure Celebrity will share all of this with us sometime in the future? :D She is "open" from 4/27 (Malaga, Spain) until 5/8 (Barcelona, Spain) I wonder if she would sail back to Papenburg, Germany for the dry dock? Can't imagine it being done in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaAndrews87 Posted September 19, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I hope not! But my fingers are crossed for a new "Qsine"restaurant. The concept seems like such a fun way to have dinner!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaAndrews87 Posted September 19, 2013 Author #13 Share Posted September 19, 2013 My husband and I are cruising June 14th. I think it is the same itinerary as July 12th! This is our first Celebrity cruise, and we are super excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted September 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Would love to see Qsine added by June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickthecruiser Posted September 20, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I don't believe that there will be any changes. It is the ship's first dry dock, just routine. Edited September 20, 2013 by nickthecruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanA04 Posted September 20, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I found this forum on goggle. I was wondering the same thing about "Qsine". My wife and I usually go at least twice if it is available. Maybe, we could start a petition for one to be added on both the Equinox and the Solstice. Would anyone be interested?

vegasgirl702 Posted September 21, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hello! On the same cruise as you! Please join our roll call. 12 July Equinox- Venice to Istanbul. I join just a few week ago & we have hardly any messages:(:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyD3 Posted September 21, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wonder if she would sail back to Papenburg, Germany for the dry dock? Can't imagine it being done in Spain. Yes, I believe it is a 5 year "check up" at the shipyard where the ship was built. Even the Oasis has to travel over to Europe for it's 5 year "check up". Doubt they will make any major changes.

Can't imagine it being done in Spain. She will not return to the shipyard at Meyer Werft as she is now to heavy to transit back up the river. They can easily do the dry dock at a number of places including Spain. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terigo Posted October 7, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Are my husband and I the only 2 people who did not like anything at all about Qsine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Frances Posted October 7, 2014 #23 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Are my husband and I the only 2 people who did not like anything at all about Qsine? Really?? Nothing at all? We love it there, fantastic staff and especially tons of fun with a group. There probably are others like you though, for whom Qsine is not a good fit. The vibe definitely isn't Murano's equivalent but it doesn't try to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike x ftc Posted October 7, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Are my husband and I the only 2 people who did not like anything at all about Qsine? You're not alone!! We just found it a bit over rated. Our waiter didn't really explain what was what so we had no idea what was coming or whether is was large or small. We tried to like it but we were a bit disappointed. I think if there was a group of you and you could sample things it may be better - maybe... We're on Equinox in a couple of weeks and we're glad there's still a Silk Harvest (well there better be as we've made a booking!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Circus Posted October 7, 2014 #25 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Could the dry dock be adding the Suite dining room? Or will that not require dry dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
