Review summary

This is our third cruise on this beautiful ship.  As always, the food was superb and the service was excellent.

 

We jumped on this cruise for the itinerary - two over nights in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras.  We feel this is the most economical way to see the Mardi Gras. There is a street car stop right outside the cruise terminal in New Orleans.  

 

Overall, a great cruise!!

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin is very spacious with plenty of closet space. Bathroom is large and plenty of shelf space.

Ship tip

Do a search online for grandstand tickets if you are going on the Mardi Gras cruise. The price for the tickets are much more reasonable than getting them from the ship.

I just love cruising on Celebrity. The Equinox is a great ship with great food and service. Next time try the Reflection and the Eclipse. Both great cruises as well.

I've been on Reflection three times......and......looking forward to our first voyage on Equinox in March.
