Review summary

We’ve been on the Equinox 3 times and really like it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was nice to be able to arrive earlier than expected and go on board earlier than expected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I was very happy with the food on board the Equinox. I loved how the portions weren’t too large at our dinner seating. We didn’t waist anything.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
It seemed like there were way more activities when we were on the Equinox in 2018 & 2019. The pool volleyball was fun to watch. I did like the 90 second corn hole contest.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedian was very disappointing! We’ve seen way better comedy shows in the past. Ed Regime was really bad!! I’m sorry to say, but he was dragging every joke. It made me not want to attend the Theatre the rest of the cruise. Repeat Guest 2018, 2019 & 2024: Just got back from the Equinox 10 day Southern Caribbean. It was their last sailing before she heads to Spain to be refurbished. I loved the itinerary! Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique & St. Kitts. We had the best weather. The crew was wonderful and we met a lot of nice guests. For the most part, everything was fabulous! However, the last 2 times (before Covid) sailing on her, the shows & entertainment were SO much better! The headliner comedian they hired this time around was pretty sad!! (Ed Regime) He said he’s been doing this for 25 years! Oh gosh! Don’t know how he’s getting his bookings! However, The performer Cheaza, a Whitney Houston singer was fabulous!! The magician Matthew Mcgurk Magician was very good! The food held up to good quality. The spa treatments were fabulous!! Anyway, just sharing my review for you all.

The ship was very clean, however the paint was chipping on our veranda. I know it’s getting refurbished soon, but just letting you know.

We went last October, liked it so much we booked the Eclipse for this year. I heard it is basically the same ship.
