Review summary

Again, the ports were very good, but we were not at all impressed with Celebrity Equinox.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Getting on ship was relatively easy and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Not very impressive.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Activities were in tiny spaces that were always way overcrowded.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Ship musicians and singers were pretty good. The scheduled entertainment was very poor except for Crystal Stark.

Children's Programs

No children on trip.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most of the staff were pretty friendly. Did not see much of it from officers. They would walk right by and not speak. Kind of acted like they were better than us.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Ship was pretty clean, but the facilities were very inadequate. The restrooms were very inadequate and if you did not have a "plan" you could only get food and drinks on 1 deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was good. It was not located where it showed when booking.

Ship tip

You are allowed to bring soda on board and I would if you want something to drink.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Nice port and easy access.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
No excursion, but town was very close to port and there was lots to see.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Great stop. Did an excursion to Ocean World, I think, and it was pretty neat.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten Did not visit port

Great stop. Did an excursion to bird sanctuary. Lots of fun and then driver took us all over the island for a little upcharge.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Great stop. No excursion. Was a fair walk to town. not real far, but hot and humid.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Port was great. Lots of activities to do at port. There was even a pool and a lazy river at port for no charge.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth and easy. Although, we did disembark with our own luggage and that made it very easy.
