Review summary

Although I am retired and turning 70 my age group of preference is 55+. Would recommend for those who are not as active and couples who cruise as their yearly vacations and retiree couples who are used to doing everything together. I travel every 6-8 weeks, never with the same people more than once a year. I am a very free spirited Happily Single Person

Embarkation

5 out of 5

concierge lunch was very nice

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All of the food venues were excellent However, my preference was the buffet due to the variety of people you get to conversate with due to the shared experience

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Stopped at the pool party

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The comedians and the Diva and Topper Show were excellent. The musical entertainment was excellent. There was something for everyone for the most part. Content geared for a retirement crowd, (which I am a part of -age 69 ) however I found some of it boring

Children's Programs

Didn't travel with children, not many on the ship

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was friendly

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Well done here

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Balcony smaller than anticipated however good for an older ship I've sailed on the newer ships 2022 -2023

Ship tip

Depending on your level of social activity and who you are traveling with. I don't travel with children,parents, if you have family members over 65 this is a good fit or ,

Most of the crowd seems to have navigated to the Edge class. My last trip on Equinox was in 2019 and it was filled with kids and teens. But then again, it was June, and the start of Summer. If Equinox has far less kids and crowds, maybe I'll give it another go.
