Review summary

We loved the whole experience on the ship. Met some other nice people. Would definately recommend Celebrity Equinox. The ship director Maarten was excellent at his job. He made everything fun. Lots of energy. Best ship director I have seen. Also Captain Kate was so available to the passengers and very approachable and friendly.

Very satisfied with our cabin. Plenty of room for everything. Very well kept by our room steward Brian. Loved having the TV to navigate where we were going all the time. And loved having ESPN available to keep up on our favorite sports team from home.

Ship tip

Allow plenty of time to get around the ship. sometimes elevators were slow.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Love Key West. Trolley ride was very informative and fun.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
Least impressed by Costa Maya. Did the Glass Bottom boat ride. People were nice but the boat was not that nice and it started raining while we were out and we got soaked and had to shorten our excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Was not that interested in the shopping but it was ok if you liked that. Did the Salsa,Salsa excursion and had so much fun. Would definately recommend it. But you need to realize that it was not only learning to make different salsas and marguaritas but also salsa dancing. That was a surprise to us but still a lot of fun.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Beautiful port. Favorite by far. We did the trolley tour and really enjoyed it. The guide was very knowledgable about the island and showed us parts of the island that most people did not see.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went very smooth. We did not check our luggage so we got out really quickly
