Review summary

There were many things about our cruise on the Celebrity Equinox we enjoyed. The entertainment was excellent, both the guest entertainers and the on-board entertainment staff. The ship is clean...public restrooms are spacious and clean. The buffet in the Oceanview Restaurant was the best organized we have experienced. Martini Bar was the place to go for some fun and refreshment. We especially liked the Corning Glass Museum sponsored glass blowing demonstrations; a unique experience on a cruise ship.

Cabin was clean and wellkept by our cabin stewards. Not a lot of storage space, particularly drawer space though. The downside for us was there were just too many people around on the ship. It was hard to find a place to sit on many occasions. If you wanted a seat at the early dinner seating show, you would have to leave dinner early. This led to a lot of seat and table saving...something we do not appreciate on a cruise ship.

The ports were good. Shore excursions in Costa Rica and Belize were especially good. Salsa and margarita making in Cozemel also a lot of fun. Train ride in Panama was good too, especially for me as I was born in the Canal Zone and left as small child.
