Review summary

I can say enough about Celebrity Equinox. We cruise alot mainly with Royal Catibbean. This was our first Celebrity. They far exceeded our expectations. Captains club sent flowers one day and cho covered strawberries another day to our cabin. Got many amenities we are not used to receiving, toiletries, chocs on the pillow at night and the glass of champayne handed to you as you embark the ship day one was a surprise.

Ship experiences

Buffets were uncrowded, neat, always stocked, main dining room food was best ive had on any cruise ship.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Silend disco was a blast, game shows funny and hands down, Richard Spacey was the best cruise director ever! Hysterical!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Every show was enjoyable. One entertainer was unable to make his flight but the activities director was able to secure a replacement who ended up being the highlight of the cruise.

Children's Programs

I had no children with me therefore no interest in their activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cant say enough about the overall friendliness of the crew. Whether they were our room stewards, waiters, or not.....all friendly and extremely helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship very easy to navigate. The size was perfct. Never felt crowded. Also able to get great seats in the theater and loungers by the pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were upgraded to a sunset veranda balcony. Spacious, the view was awesome and the bathroom much bigger than we expected.

Ship tip

We found the shore excursion people to be very organized. Dont hesitate to use the shios excursions. No waiting outside in the heat in long lines.....instead, all meet in the theater and leave in groups directly to your tour guides waiting outside.
