CHEZMARYLOU Posted January 7, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted January 7, 2021 We are paying less for an 11 day holiday cruise than we are for 10 days on Silhouette. The Silhouette was recently booked so we are probably paying more than if we had booked it when it was 1st available. It's also a Refundable Deposit vs NRD on Equinox since we moved another booking that was NR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted January 7, 2021 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks for letting us know. I am going to look into the same Equinox holiday cruise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted January 7, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I just spot checked some of the 9 nighters, the prices were cheaper than we had for the cancelled 5/14/21 cruise with the same itinerary. An S2 was about $325pppd, with $600 OBC. Some of the 10 night cruise were even cheaper pppd. , with $800 OBC. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrk2cruise Posted January 7, 2021 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I did a couple of sample booking and noticed the OBC included in the Elevate and Indulge packages are less than they were. I could swear they were Elevate $200 and Indulge $400 pp. Now it's saying $150 and $300 with the pricing still $30 and $60 pp/pd. Am I missing something?

wrk2cruise Posted January 7, 2021 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Is this just for these new sailings or did they change across the board. What a mess that will create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted January 7, 2021 #10 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Does anyone know which aft deck has the spider? I have an S1 corner aft on hold for deck 11, but even if this window washing machine is there, it will not be that big of a deal, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the same because prices are only going higher, with more cruises being canceled. It is just smart, IMHO, to book RFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted January 7, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I only see a few dates, certainly not all. I see no 12 night. When I try to get prices it will say either "try another date" or "there was a problem" or sold out. I did get some prices from my TA, but would like to see more dates. I want to book b2bs for Sept.-Oct. '22 and Jan. Feb. '23. Can't see any. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipeeinthepool Posted January 8, 2021 #16 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I'm a little disappointed that they have eliminated the 12 night cruises on the Equinox, the 9/12 night B2B was an attractive combination for a lot of people. Perhaps we'll see the 9/12 night tips on the Silhouette or Reflection. Anything but the E-class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked my family for that holiday sailing as well, so thanks again for letting us know yesterday that Equinox's 2022/23 Caribbean itineraries have been released (well, some of them). We booked one of the FV cabins which will likely be our last time in one as that category's days are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted January 8, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Maybe the FV will be upgraded to a suite by the time we sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we like the FV with its 2nd bedroom and I think that bedroom disappears when the FV is converted into a suite. BTW, I attended Upper St. Clair High School back in the late 70's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a corner aft S1 for 2/3rds the price per night as a January 2022 voyage in the same room. S2 was only $1000 more than AQ. For a holiday sailing I found it very reasonable. Thanks to the OP for the alert that the schedule was out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not eligible at this point). Some of current previously available cruise prices are absurd causing a lot of bad feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember these in the past. I don't think I'd book a cruise sailing in the worst part of hurricane season (August, September, early October) except possibly for the ABC islands since they are out of the hurricane zone. Of course you still have to be able to depart from Fort Lauderdale, weather permitting. We are currently booked on the Equinox for late November 2021 to the ABC islands and Grand Cayman. I hope we can get vaccinated before final payment is due in August and that the cruise isn't canceled. The way the vaccination rollout is going it seems far from certain. And with the vaccine mutating I'm even less sure about things.

I would never pay those prices, which is why we've migrated to Oceania, but for this last Equinox voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
