Review summary

Great cruise, highly recommend Celebrity Equinox, defiantly not a cruise for those who want all the bells and whistles such as water slides, rock walls etc. I would say average age was 55-65 years old. Pool area was crowded on sea days, but that’s on any cruise. Service is excellent, ship is very clean and well maintained, room was very comfortable, food is definitely above arevage.

Yes, it’s not as Family oriented as Royal Caribbean, Celebrity is where you go after RC when your kids have flown the coop
