Rare aml3679 Posted February 18, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It is hard to believe that it is already day 4 of our wonderful and relaxing long awaited cruise. Embarcation: easy peasy. We made the 3.5 drive to Fort Lauderdale. We used Park and Fly. They dropped us off at the terminal where a porter was there to whisk off our bags. Check in was easy. They asked for a photo ID, express pass and your passport. They asked if we have traveled, been to China or had a fever or cough. You boarded according to class. We were upgraded to Aqua 2 days before. We were on board by 10:45 and were able to drop our belongings off in our stateroom and grab our sea passes. We ate in Blu our first night and the food and service were outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straughn Posted February 18, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2020 You just said something that I was not aware of- you can drop off your carry on luggage at your cabin when you board? That would be terrific. I am assuming the Sea Pass card is outside your door. We are sailing on the 29th, so any info you want to share would be great.

bluehengal Posted February 18, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This is the new system being implemented when the ships are revolutionized. You can drop off your bags in your cabin and then head back out to explore the ship, eat, drink, etc. The cabins aren't ready that early, so it's just a matter of drop and go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we're most concerned about on our upcoming cruise in August. Glad to hear it is better. It's the one thing we've seen others post over and over that was lacking.

hasentreelake Posted February 19, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Following.... We will be on Equinox in 7 weeks (over Masters Sunday and Easter Sunday - same day this year). Wife is disappointed that Capt Tasos is not on board atm or when we board. She loves that guy🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for putting the wine in the fridge! I have to say though I've been wondering about putting things in the safe if the cabin still isn't finished cleaned. Just not sure I'm confident enough that the safe won't get emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted February 19, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 19, 2020 When I’ve sailed on Equinox and gone to the cabin to collect the SeaPass cards there has been a magnetic sticker on the door saying something like “Your cabin is still being prepared.” At that point Celebrity is expecting you to access the cabin. The safe is already open. When your cabin attendant comes to finish the job they are not able to open the safe. Nor at this hour would they call Security to open the safe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it is better. It's the one thing we've seen others post over and over that was lacking. They have a headliner called Topper in which we enjoyed. A country/rock duo called Raegar which left yesterday and tonight is a comedianSent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
