Great time. If you want to relax, eat very very well, visit outstanding islands, be pampered, and have fun then this is a great cruise for you. This was our second time taking this cruise in Oct and we have booked it again for next fall.

Great food. We book Aqua Class and enjoy eating at Blu. We always go there for breakfast too!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the pool and hot tubs. We were always able to get a lounge chair in the pool area. I still don’t like having to wait at a desk to turn in my sea pass card in order to use the Persian Garden and then wait to get my sea pass card back. Our sea pass card should open the door to the Persian Garden area. It does on the Reflection!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all of the comedian shows and the Impressionist. Illusionist didn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Production shows are first rate

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
You can’t beat the service on a Celebrity ship. They go above and beyond to make sure you have an exceptional experience. Even the bar service staff are personable, friendly and always smiling. However, the staff at Cafe El Bachio was a bit disorganized in on a couple of afternoons one waitress in particular walked by us without waiting on us. So it took about 35 minutes to get assistance and our teas. Then we had to go up and get our. Arcs when we were finished. The first time this happened I was told she would only be there that afternoon. But.....she was there three other afternoons. Hopefully that has changed since we disembarked. That being said.... it didn’t ruin our cruise and influence our opinion of Celebrity’s staff and service.

Ship Quality

Love the layout. I was a little disappointed in that the 3n5ire stateroom wasn’t renovated, a.k.a. Revolutionized. I was hoping to see all of the furniture replaced and the bathrooms renovated. We very much like the furniture in the Summit staterooms. They are very much like the Edge furniture and I anticipated that the Equinox would be the same. Bedding is all new are beds very comfortable. I think the TV needs to be mounted on the wall at the end of the bed instead of on the counter. We need that counter space.
