This was our eighth cruise on The Equinox. It is our favorite ship in the Celebrity Cruise family. We are looking forward to our next cruise in March when we will have a suite and be able to use the new Retreat areas. That is where most of the renovation has occurred.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We had expedited embarkation and basically walked right on the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate in Blu, which always provides excellent menu choices and service.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Enjoyed the many free fitness classes and also took a Pilates class which was worthwhile. The musical entertainment at the pool and bars was better than usual. Silent Disco was a blast!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The dance, vocal, and acrobatic acts were better than usual. The first comedian was lame, but Phil Tag performed later on the cruise and he was somewhat better.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly and responsive.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Apparently the refurbishing was cut short by two weeks, so the ship didn’t look much different than when we last sailed in November. The bathrooms were clean, but the pool area could have used more attention.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The curtains, bed, bedding, carpet and couch were new. The art that was in every room was the same and it is not attractive.
Ship tip
Try the drinks at the World Class Bar; you won’t regret it.
