This was our second sailing on the Equinox. Out of 14 cruises I can honestly say no on does it better than Celebrity!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Port Everglades is state-of-the-art. We arrived at the port at 10:45a and were in our cabin dropping our carry-on bags at 11:08a!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We dined mostly at Blu (Aqua Class) but also at Murano and Le Petit Chef. Both specialty restaurants were phenomenal!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
My favorite experience was 2 performances by ABT soloists, Aran Bell and Kathrine Hurlin. Also the special Q&A with there 2 virtuosos was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That, and the Hot Glass experience, where I made a beautiful vase, were the highlights of my cruise.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Dan, the cruise direct was absolutely great! This is not normally something I care much about, but he and Captain Tasos made the entire cruise entertaining and fun. I am constantly amazed at how engaging and visible the Captain is on Celebrity. Captain Tasos was amazing!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our cabin steward was the perfect combination. Always quick with any request but never overbearing. The service at Blu was exceptional and throughout the ship the entire staff was smiling, friendly, and all appeared ready to help make your experience better than you expected!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This ship is, literally, spotless!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The sleep systems are SO comfy. Pillows are luxurious down and you can request extras if you like. I love the Equinox overhead storage and really appreciate the storage and layout of the bathrooms.
Ship tip
There is a little hidden self-serve coffee and drink station next to the Spa Cafe that is a perfect place to get some juice, coffee, or ice. Even though the Spa Cafe isn’t always open, they usually keep this self-serve station running . It was super convenient from our cabin and always quiet.
Love everything about Key West because I lived there while I was in High School. The trolley tour is nice, and allows you to get on and off to explore.
Not a fan of this port. We don’t do excursions and my husband wasn’t feeling well so I went on my own to shop and explore. It was too pushy for my taste.
Face recognition was astounding. This was the most seamless debarkation ever. Porters are also very friendly and hard working! As far as how Equinox handle the prep and call down from the shop, it was also very well organized and orchestrated.
@DianneOrwig Thanks for reaching out. I will update the review per your request. The correction should show within the week. Thanks for letting us and our members know about this fabulous cruise.
I wish I could go back in to edit this review. I accidentally hit low stars in 2 areas and they should all be 5 stars...does anyone know how I can correct this?!
