Review summary

I would highly recommend Celebrity Cruises, and the Equinox. we truly enjoyed our time on the ship and even wished we had more sea days!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Got to the port around 10:40 and we were on the ship by 11!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very good and the drinks were fantastic! We especially liked the World Class Bar, Gastrobar, and the Tuscan Grille.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The parties were very fun - silent disco twice and mardi gras.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We enjoyed one of the two comedians and the performances were generally good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best service we've had on a ship so far. The bartenders in the World Class Bar and the Gastrobar were phenomenal. We didn't have a specific waiter in the MDR, but they were all great. And our stateroom attendant did an amazing job without being intrusive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I don't think I've seen a cleaner ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin has an extended balcony which we took advantage of almost every day.

Ship tip

Be sure and explore - there are so many great places and venues that you probably can't take advantage of all of them in just one week.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Our Hop On Hop Off Bus was disorganized and not very well run. The bus they provided to the airport broke down on the highway.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Very walkable - we walked from the ship to the Southernmost Point and back, visiting Hemingway's Home and Sloppy Joes on the way.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We didn't particularly like the port which was developed just to attract cruise ships. But we really enjoyed our tour with Native Choice to the Chacchoben Ruins.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Some of the sellers were very pushy, but we enjoined our jeep tour of the island.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Loved George Town, but disliked the local tour we took there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked right off the ship and straight through customs. We did luggage valet, so we didn't even have to collect our luggage.

We had a great trip on Equinox in January and also booked for next year, same cabin with the extended balcony. What is the luggage valet? I did not see anything.

Not impressed with the Equinox. Food was fair to good. Balcony was very small. And even after 7 days on the ship it was hard to get around. Also shopping on the ship was very pricy. I'll stick with Princess.
