gfkcruiser Posted January 30 #29 Share Posted January 30 We will be on in April for the TA and then again in November. Will be interesting to see if any cabins or facilities are updated/remodeled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Airbalancer Posted January 30 #30 Share Posted January 30 Did they finish renovating all the AQU and Concierge cabins at the last renovation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 30 #31 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Interesting ---- from the posted link - Ship: Celebrity Infinity Dates: Winter 2024 Details: Celebrity Infinity’s drydock will include a bit of a facelift, with new soft goods (usually includes things like carpeting, upholstery, and linens). Suites will have Jacuzzis replaced and the galleys will get new equipment. Saw a post on FB --- She got an Upgrade from Michael's to Retreat - Done during her 2 week dry dock.

Do you know if they made any updates to the sundeck? Any retreat specific areas? What about any changes to specialty dining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. B. Posted February 2 #34 Share Posted February 2 We were just on Equinox and the only thing I saw that needed attention were the many public area Windows that had condensation between the inner and outer glass. Mostly in the Sky Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted February 2 #35 Share Posted February 2 We just got off the Equinox two weeks ago. While onboard, the maintenance crew was scraping and repainting the balconies. (Guest services sent each cabin that was to be serviced a notice the night before and indicated if you did NOT want that done you needed to contact them prior to the assigned day. Ours came while we were in bed, and we a very limited time to deny the request 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this FB post and was impressed. Looking a bit less airport lounge and a bit more hotel lobby or, dare I say it, residential. Has the design team been reading customer feedback?

The real test will be to hear if they chairs and sofa's that are comfortable and utilitarian. Hopefully they cut ties with Kelly Hoppen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hardness of them and things like sofa's in Retreat with legs in the front 4 inches higher than the rear. You sit down and your legs almost go flying in the air, let alone trying to get up out of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine. I guess you never tried Kelly's Munchkin Chairs in the retreat. I was about the only one that could fit in one since I'm referred to as NAA (No A$$ At All). They were a real failure - they eventually replaced them fleet wide and moved them to Kids Camp at Sea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chairs in many of the areas of the E class ships are just terribly uncomfortable and many of them seem to be built for young children they are so low to the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a short person, many of the chairs were so deep that if my back touched the back of the chair, my legs kind of stuck straight out, like a toddler, so uncomfortable. Very low also. I'm not sure just what shaped person could sit in them comfortably. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlo Posted February 6 #48 Share Posted February 6 I’m just under 6 ft and have the same problem with many of the new chairs. Last cruise on Equinox in PH I couldn’t sit on the balcony without bringing cushions from the living room sofa outside to support my back. I asked our butler to try sitting in one of those chairs as he was about my size. At first he was convinced there were cushions missing from the back. Then he just said “Well,, no one has complained about them” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FamilyAtSea.travel Posted March 5 #50 Share Posted March 5 When you go to room selections for the Equinox and look at the Retreat suites it shows this photo on the Sundeck with a bar. Either this is false advertising or maybe this is one of the things they'll be doing while in dry dock next month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
