Group space does appear to be available with 4 Amenities Points. Anyone Interested? I am only leaving the poll open for 15 days because we'll need to move fast if we want group space. I have a feeling it will disappear nearly instantly!

Would LOVE to go but just don't think I'll be able to swing it financially

VERY interested!!

Thinking about it, we're booking Solstice so....Equinox needs some thought but it is a GREAT itinerary!

ESSSSH - great itinerary but the Southern Mediterranean in August? Really need to think about this one

This one might actually work for us... Can't make May because of school but August works!

I live in Texas so August in the Eastern Med is cooler! Maybe more humid.
I went to Hong Kong in August a couple of summers ago, very hot and
humid, but shorts and plenty of a/c and it's barely noticeable.

New to cruising, can't wait for the next one,

Ocean08

Giving serious thought to it. Sure it's going to be hot but, it's also an inaugural and the itinerary is very interesting! And, one can never tire of London as a pre-cruise destination!

Let's make this group a go! Sounds great to me!!

Stong maybe, just need formal permission for time off from work

Another vote yes

We're booking May 25th on Solstice but, we just might book this one too! How do y'all find such great sailing?!

Happy St. Pats Day Everyone!

Also VERY interested!

Just got the nod this group is a go - travel agent will be announced shortly!

Also - just got some scuttlebutt that the inaugural will be July 29th, don't know if it's rumor or truth, will post with the correct information as soon as it's available!

I'm pleased to announce that Host Ivanova (Susan) is the assigned travel agent for the group.

July 29, 2009 is not appearing as a valid itinerary to book (or to block group space). The first sailing available is August 8, 2009 so we've blocked group space on that sailing.

So we have confirmation that August 8th is the inaugural for Equinox?

Nick,

That's what Celebrity is telling us. There is nothing earlier in the system for booking. There may be private sailings before that (basically what they refer to as pre-inaugural sailings), but 8/8/2009 is the first one we can book and what they are calling the inaugural sailing at this point.

So what happens on an inaugural? Anything special?
