Review summary

We had taken a brief hiatus from Celebrity to try other cruise lines.  We are back to stay.  The Equinox was a great ship, well maintained, with a first class crew.  The entire staff were friendly and efficient, always wearing a smile for their guests.  We were delighted with the Luminae Restaurant and had a great experience in the specialty restaurant, Murano.  We were not thrilled with Silk Harvest or the Tuscan Grille.  They were OK, but we liked Luminae better.   We expected the staterooms to be "tired" since the ship has not been refurbished in a while, so we were pleasantly surprised at the condition.  The only think that could be improved is the wi-fi which was very slow and required log-in frequently.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Excellent and served hot and promptly.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The singers and dancers were the best group we have ever seen on a cruise ship - truly Broadway caliber. The shows were all first-rate

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff was great, but special cudos to Davut, Serkea, Maria, Bonny and Aurelian in the Luminae restaurant and our butler Jo for super service.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Meticulously clean and well appointed. It was spacious with a good sized veranda.

Ship tip

Don't miss the shows - they are great. Also, bring your workout clothes. The gym is great and you will need it considering all the great food (not to mention the beverages) you will be enjoying. The best frozen drinks are at the pool bar.
