Review summary

Overall the cruise was very enjoyable. Island excursions and guides revealed a lot of history about each island. Ship shops were to high end for my budget. Excellent Captain and crew.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Did not use dining rooms or specialty restaurants, Oceanview Cafe had everything I needed/wanted. Food was very good and a very nice variety.

Onboard Activities

Did not use

Entertainment

4 out of 5
all were very good to excellent except Mr. Ryan Story. His performance was not suited to the age of the audience and was way too loud.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were friendly, and helpful. Room steward fro cabin 6138 was excellent

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
For a big ship, it was easy to get around. crew was constantly cleaning common areas. Hand sanitized was always available just about everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was 6138, not 3166. Cabin was adequate for the 3 passengers. I probably will go with an Oceanview cabin for most future cruises

Ship tip

Shops are more high end than some of the other Celebrity ships and other lines

Arrived on a Sunday when shops are closed. Not much open close to ship. The excursion we wanted was closed to guests over 75, despite being physically fit. VERY disappointed

Took the sugar train excursion. Was hoping for more travel into the interior instead of basically along the coast

Great review. I am heading back to Equinox after a 8-year break (not from cruising, just this ship!). Glad to hear she is still in great shape. I also prefer ocean view cafe for most meals. Thanks 🙏
