We have friends who are booked in the Reflection Suite on Equinox I think in 2020....I do not want to alarm them but equally I would want to alert them if this is true. May I ask where you got this information from and if the ‘hold’ is until the next big refit or just for a month or two? We are on Equinox ourselves in September. We were looking forward to experiencing the changes but are resigned to accepting what will be will be... More concerned now about our friends as I know they were planning on really enjoying a ‘new’ Reflection Suite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they will be doing the upgrades to the suites. The furniture is getting pretty tired. I'm surprised that the RS have not disappeared from upcoming sailings, unless there were not many Signature Suites booked. There are still 4 available on our November cruise.

nicknack Posted May 2, 2019 #158 Share Posted May 2, 2019 What about upgraded staterooms for everyone? Nothing about that, and it looks like that's not happening anytime soon.

wrk2cruise Posted May 2, 2019 #160 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The email was targeted at a Signature Suite guest impacted by the decision to not add those rooms at this time. It is assuring them that the other Suite enhancements will still be completed. I wouldn't read more into this particular statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the whole cabin? Maybe that was the original plan. If anyone knows, please chime in. This list is very informative however they left one major thing off; painting the hull blue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albi Posted May 3, 2019 #166 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I am sure we will receive real information once the ship is on the way to Spain. My bet is that they will accomplish most of the general update projects, minus any heavy construction changes. Let’s wait for the real facts. Since we don’t sail in a suite, the refreshing projects are most important to us. What drew us to cruising many years ago was the fact that no matter what category stateroom you had, the service, food, and experience was the same for all. We are looking forward to our cruise in December on one of our favorite ships, the Equinox! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't worried about laying on the grass for the entire movie? I thought putting the movie screen on the lawn was a mistake. If I'm not mistaken, no furniture is allowed on the lawn. I'm ok with stretching out on a blanket, but not sure I'd want to do it for a 2 hour movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
