Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I can never provide sufficient Kudos to the staff. I marvel at how they take on so many jobs and do them so well. Room Steward and Butler were each very helpful, always friendly and attentive. I really appreciate their work and support.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always clean and staff were visible and handled any situation on the spot. Love the layout of the Equinox ... reminds me of cruises taken years before. A warm and friendly environment with places / nooks to relax, read or even NAP !!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Most enjoyable with lots of room, great layout and awesome view from windows / balcony. VERY comfortable and welcoming after an active day / night.

Ship tip

Be very respectful of the work done by your crew / service staff .......Be prepared for a most enjoyable experience. Also be prepared to see some "have" and "have not" sections across each of the islands.

Ports of call

Nice tour of the island .... good guides and beautiful scenery. Be sure to visit the Rum Company and tour of the town of HELL ...with fascinating geological formations

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
A most beautiful stop. Great visit to the Aloe factory and learned of its many uses.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
A fascinating tour of another beautiful island. MUST visit the Liqueur factory to see how Curacao is made .... and the many different flavors. A visit to the geologic caves was another great stop on the tour.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
a fascinating history of Dutch influence. Wonderful to see that a large portion of the island is preserved as Beautifully protected parkland. The tour included learning how salt is produced from sea water from the salt flats .... over 5000,000 tons per year. Lots of history as well.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized and easy !!

I did the same cruise in September, and I absolutely loved it! Happy to see that you did, too, and I hope your next cruise is just as fantastic!
