Review summary

Good family cruise. I brought extended family ranging in age from 6 to 81. All were pretty happy. Food in main dining room was excellent. Cafeteria was so so. Kids program was excellent. Grandson skipped dessert to get there early. My son and his daughter were in a coffee bar and she was eating some chocolate cookies. The head chef came along and asked her how she liked them. She said they were her favorite. He brought some to our table for her the next night and later in the week had some sent to her room. This is typical of the care they provide.

Three sea days out of seven. People would claim a scarce deck chair early in the morning with a magazine etc to hold it all day and the staff would let them get away with it.

Second cruise on Equinox. Not as clean and in good repair as when in Europe. Lots of rust.
