Why We HAD to Switch Cabins: Celebrity Equinox Review
We turned lemons (switching rooms mid-cruise) into lemonade so we could bring you a tour and info on two different cabins (Concierge Class staterooms 1060 and 1065) on the Celebrity Equinox. We cruised the Caribbean in August, visiting Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Bimini, and ran into a few snags that caused us to change cabins mid-cruise. Find out what caused this change and how these cabins stack up.
Did we like the retro feel of these Concierge Class cabins? Were the balconies spacious? Were there enough plugs or storage? We cover it all in this video.

Epic Glass Blowing: Celebrity Equinox Exclusive Session

On our recent cruise on the Celebrity Equinox we both signed up for the Hot Glass Class. Here is Jason's full session as he made a fire-inspired vase. We paid $208.99 (pre-cruise) for a 20-minute session each. We both chose larger pieces which added about $60 each to the total before tipping. Purchasing pre-cruise will save you over booking on the cruise and there may not be many time slots if ...

As we prepare for our next Celebrity Cruise on the Equinox, we wanted to explore the real and intangible value of the perks and benefits that come with Concierge Class.

    That's not neglect, it's salt air. It's like that on every ship, tanker, cargo, ferry, military, or civilian vessel. It's the nature of the beast. The outside of any ship is going to look like that. They'll hose it down periodically then repaint when they can. 😊

    Hi MJTreks! We just discovered your channel. We love Celebrity Cruises. We found a huge value sweet-spot (for us) with Aquaclass over Concierge. Blu (and to a lesser extent Spa access) is a deal-breaker in a good way. We're working on Elite Plus, so Elite status gives us a few perks that overlap concierge benefits. We'd be interested in your view of the value of Aquaclass!

    We did Concierge class on our Alaska cruise in June. We did it only because few cabins were left and we could get a decent location. We would definitely NOT do it again because the perks are useless. The canapés were not that good and just cluttered up the room. The only thing I remember being used was the fake leather key card holder - that we had to ask for.

    • @MJTreks
      @MJTreks 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At least you received 5x points for Captains Club (if loyalty points matter for you). As we said, most perks require you to request them or seek them out and they really only matter based on personal preferences. Anecdotally it seems Concierge Class cabins are in better locations, but again, cabin location is very subjective. Hopefully you had a great cruise, nonetheless!

    We cruised concierge class balcony on the Silhouette to the Norwegian Fjords and we definitely felt that it wasn't value for money. The delicacies were totally uninspiring and we ate few of them. The time we asked the concierge assistant (not our amazing room steward) for help we were told to do it ourselves. The supposed concierge area was a shoe box sized room with a desk and a couple of chairs, which were being used by the concierge assistant when we visited. Definitely not what was advertised. We had our cabin moved due to excessive noise next door, but we were moved to an obstructed verandah, just behind the jutting out navigation area. It was the first time we'd cruised Celebrity and we were expecting good things from all we'd heard. It ended up being the worst cruise that we've been on for all sorts of reasons, but the disappointment in the concierge "benefits" was part of it. We won't be cruising Celebrity again.

    • @MJTreks
      @MJTreks 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry to hear that your experience was like this. We have not experienced this to such an extent. It’s never good when your first experience on a cruise line is so poor. I have similar feelings on another line which others seem to love-but I am reluctant to try again. What we can say from recent cruises is that the level of customer service onboard the older ships, like the Silhouette, sadly does not stack up to that of the newer Edge Class ships. One reason that we have found through interactions with experienced crew is that they are being moved to contracts on the new ships, leaving less seasoned crew on the older ones.

    • @keridale18
      @keridale18 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi@@MJTreks Thanks for the reply. I think that you are probably right regarding the staff on the Silhouettte. Many of the other issues we had with the ship were due to bad handling of situations by the crew or no consideration of better ways to do things. In their follow up survey I made suggestions on how things could have been handled better but have heard nothing and I'm pretty sure nothing will change as there were no indications of wanting to improve in my interactions with the problem areas at the time. I do not, by any means have problems with all the staff as we had a top notch cabin steward and most of the food wait staff were great. The bar staff, passenger services staff and those who organised the seating in the dining room, etc were another thing altogether. Many thanks for your informative and useful videos. Keridale
