The poster made it sound like she had gotten an email and then when several of us said we had not yet she finally admitted she had messaged them and that was their reply to her.

Rare PTC DAWG Posted May 8, 2019 #204 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) The Equinox was docked beside my MSC Cruise ship in 3 places on it's last cruise (well, around the corner in St.Thomas)....it could use a refresh on the outside for sure, hull paint was dull in many places. I was hoping they would get to all the cabins, as the Bride and I are sailing her on 9/23 for the 11 day Southern Caribbean. Hump Balcony, deck 9. Not sure what now, if any changes will be made to the cabins in that area. Hopefully at least new soft goods, etc...

RICCruisers Posted May 9, 2019 #208 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Let’s hope the new balcony furniture is not like the furniture in the Edge IV’s. We like having breakfast on our balcony which is not practical on the small tables that sit low to the ground on Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kiddie furniture on the Edge would look silly on the larger Equinox balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Germancruiser Posted May 10, 2019 #211 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Just looked at the before and after pictures from the X- website - very interessting- for the life of me I can´t warm to the concept- this wonderful Michael Club- even tough no longer for all passengers- what a great cozy room- BEFORE- and after- bland, cold! Same goes for some parts of the suites! Elegant- not in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have managed to remove most of the colour and character and replace it with something that looks like the 1970s gone bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for some parts of the suites! Elegant- not in my book! We were in the Retreat Lounge on the Summit. We never used it. The longest time we spent there was for debarkation since we had a late flight. Stopped in there once to grab some waters before an excursion and another time after an excursion to grab a beer. Gone is the intimate, cozy and relaxing atmosphere I liked. It wasn't a place I felt comfortable and wanted to be in. It was not inviting at all. The furniture was odd and uncomfortable too. Table heights very low and not enough room to begin with, and they put all of these decorative pieces on them. The SClass renderings look the same. Before we would go to Michaels Club and read, chat with other passengers or just enjoy some quiet and have a drink. It does not scream that to me know.

deliver42 Posted May 10, 2019 #217 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It seems what had to be done, will be. I'm glad they aren't adding more cabins or suites. That leaves the observation as is. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On un-refurbished ships, it still looks that way to me with the stodgy old furniture and wooden walls. Like an old library. Some have described it as a "stuffy old men's club" atmosphere. That was 1960's gone bad. I am one person, perhaps in the minority here, that likes the refreshed modern look and furniture. To each his own of course!

CHEZMARYLOU Posted May 11, 2019 #221 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I like the new look too, just hope the chairs are comfortable. The old furniture was always too deep for me to sit comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old furniture was always too deep for me to sit comfortably. Often wondered what the thought process was on cruise ships that deal with an older clientele yet don't offer the raised seating options at various venues and in the cabins instead of making us struggle to get in and out of the chairs? My make believe hips talk to me after one of those adventures. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted May 11, 2019 #223 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Want to struggle to get in and out of chairs. Go on the EDGE. 95% are almost impossible to sit in with any comfort at all. I think the name EDGE relates tot he only place you can sit on the seating. You cannot sit back. Now way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is I don’t think the revolution does look modern, it’s a dated rehash done very badly that I believe people will become tired of pretty quickly. It also sounds like in many areas it’s form over function, where you are supposed to be happy to sit uncomfortably in something badly designed because it looks nice. There are far better examples of classy interiors in some hotels around the world. Edited May 11, 2019 by yorky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
