Review summary

Equinox 9/13/19 sailing Expedited Boarding- fantastic! Easiest boarding process I have ever experienced. Room keys were at my stateroom, allowing me fast access the minute I was aboard and allowing drop off of my carry-on! open in a timely manner at 12:30pm.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The new experience at celebrity’s Fort Lauderdale port is exceptional, quick, and efficient!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have no problem with the main dining room, I always find the food and the service to be of high quality. However, do not miss the Tuscan Grille

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities on the ship fit my needs. I would note it is not a ship for younger children or adolescents. They do have a nice game room, which always seem to be empty!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I’ve always found the waiters and room stewards to be most attentive. The bar staff that I would have in the main dining room generally very good. There were some times however the bar staff seemed to be overworked, or tired, and service was not what I’ve become accustomed to.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
My only disappointment on this trip was that the celebrity revolution, the complete makeover the ship was not completed as scheduled due to circumstances I’m told beyond celebrities control. So while I was anticipating a brand new bathroom and a brand new state room, these have really not changed, other than some fresh walls and new pictures.

Ship tip

One piece of advice I would give to anybody selling on celebrity is to make the trip your own! Don’t try to duplicate what other people enjoy because it might not meet your satisfaction level. Explore, ask questions, and do what you need to do to make your vacation relaxing

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

1 out of 5
We visited Grand Cayman on Sunday. If it all possible celebrity should rethink this stop since a Sunday in Grand Cayman is extremely boring unless you’re going to visit just the beach or stingray city. Everything else is either curtailed or closed

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Great forward for shopping beach snorkeling. Aruba has always been a lot of fun for me

Willemstad, Curacao

4 out of 5
I’ve been to this port many times. This time I turn this port visit into a beach day. I took out a day pass at the Renaissance carousel hotel and resort. This is a five minute walk from the ship. The ship was in complete view of my spot on the beach and in there salt water infinity pool.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
If you’re a scuba diver, this is your port! I’ve visited Bonaire many times on land tours and scuba diving is fantastic. At the same time, if you are snorkeler, you will see healthy coral as well as great fish variety.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
As stated during my embarkation processes, the disembarkation was even easier than the embarkation! The facial recognition technology made this process simply the easiest I have ever experienced.
