Sure it's older but I would prefer an older "S" class to a brand new "E" class anytime. Have read quite a few reviews on this forum and a few others and couldn't find ones that complained about the condition of the ship. A few comments about carpeting but little other comments. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset-on-the-balcony Posted October 28, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 28, 2023 We’ve sailed in both Equinox and Edge in the past year or so. Both were excellent trips! Equinox didn’t feel tired to me, but the furniture in the suites was a bit dated. However, public areas were lovely, service was the best we’ve had on any ship, bars were terrific, and shows were good. I wouldn’t hesitate a bit to book a trip on Equinox! And the Med is stunning, so the better balconies on Equinox would be a plus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted October 28, 2023 #28 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Well E class has the fake balconies and S class real balconies. I have a strong preference for S. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted November 25, 2023 #31 Share Posted November 25, 2023 We were on Equinox prior and after to the last renovation. It was really tired looking beforehand. Sad. Then there was a partial renovation and not all room received the new look. The outdoor Retreat area does not compare to other ships. We were in an Aqua Class room and they did an excellent job of updating the room. We heard that many regular Verandas either got partial updates. No complaints from us.

deliver42 Posted November 25, 2023 #33 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I've been on the Beyond and the Equinox, and loved both. For a $5000.00 difference, I'd go with the Equinox, and have a real balcony. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouKnoMe Posted November 25, 2023 #34 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I’ve started with Equinox when she debut in Med years ago. So good I returned the following year. I’m very partial to her, especially with the balconies. Have done AQ and Conciege, but loved having access to the spa suite. Have an upcoming trip on Ascent, which I am excited about, but the chairs on the regular veranda is giving me pause. I hope the upcoming visit to the dry dock brings the love and enhancements she deserves. Best wishes on your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut head Posted November 25, 2023 #35 Share Posted November 25, 2023 On 10/28/2023 at 6:20 AM, Gracie115 said: Book Equinox no matter what type stateroom. In a suite Luminae is light years better on S class ships than E class. You are able to order from MDR menus, MUCH smaller venue than on E class, especially Ascent as that version of Luminae is supposed to be even bigger than other E ships. No you won't have a "private" top deck but you're in the Med how often would you use it anyway? When in Luminae, on Ascent (or any Edge class), can you order from any of the other restaurants?

No you can’t. Luminae is at opposite end of ship from the MDR’s, so the kitchen is too far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stockjock Posted November 26, 2023 #37 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I'd book Equinox, although I do have Ascent booked currently. Good a nice group rate from a travel agency that shall remain nameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
