Jeremiah1212 Posted August 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Beginning in late Dec 2024 Equinox will shift from South America to home porting in Port Canaveral. This will change the November 2014 repo that was scheduled from Lisbon to Buenos Aires on Equinox and the 24/24 Equinox South America cruises.

Rare mahdnc Posted August 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2023 interesting. I wonder if that means Celebrity is going to move another ship to do S America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that means Celebrity is going to move another ship to do S America. Not sure yet. The early 2025 South America cruises were removed yesterday. Possibly pulling Infinity from year round Med already? I think there will be a number of announcements in the next few days.

Although I don't do cruise ship scheduling for a living, I am mildly surprised that they didn't just move Eclipse over to Port Canaveral and leave Equinox out of it (1 ship move instead of 2). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt Eclipse is taking over for Equinox in SA. Celebrity did not confirm that this morning and all of the impact routings that would be impacted are still for sale. All of the other impacted itineraries that are shifting have been pulled down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they decide to do South America, I am guessing that they would go with a Millennium class ship (Infinity used to do this run) or possibly go with Edge class. I don't see them going with another Solstice class ship for the reasons I outlined earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the phone with them now, and they said the SA Equinox booking i have is cancelled. Currently on hold as they look into what the compensation is or if it is just a cancel/refund. I was also surprised there was no mention of what was happening to the SA bookings this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
