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?
