Celebrity Equinox Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The Celebrity Equinox was not what it should have been. The food was mediocre at best. In the cafeteria the food selection was varied but not great. The cleanup crews which are not too plentiful as on other ships we have been on, collect dirty dishes but don't bother to wipe the table all the time. For an u[scale ship the food was not even on a par with some lesser expenssive ships. Not too surprising-- they have three specialty resturants costing as much as $50 a meal that need to be filled. Housekeeping was fine when they finally came around. We were at the end of they're line and they never modified it. Consequentlly it was allways late in teh afternoon before the room was made up. Its a beautiful ship thats resting on its laurels. The bright spot was the waiters for teh evening meal. They were super.

The Equinox staff did not disappoint. Nintey-nine point nine percent were the most professional, caring, lovely staff possible. There was one rude person aboard, but we would never hold all of the wonderful people responsible for that one .

Loved the cruise! Two problems however,: 1) caught the norovirus onthe last day or two and were quite sick. My wife much more so than I .Symptoms were not manifested until shortly after disembarking. 2) In the "select" dining program we were denied access to early diningin the Silhouette room the first night. We were told that there were no reservations available for the entire cruise in early dining. Our select dining hostess quickly straightened out the problem the following night. She did a great job.

We have a wonderful time,the attention in the select dining was excelent. They celebrated our anniversary on thr 6th of January.Thanks for the good time.

A cruise is a wonderful family vacation, for any age kids and adults. There's always something to do for any taste/desire. you're all on a ship so you know everyone's ok. Everything is provided for. Celebrity was a great cruise line. The food was excellent everywhere and the service was great.

We had a fun time together on this cruise. The martini bar guys are fabulous and fun! It would be nice, if there was some designated area for "young adults" to meet once they've passed 18. Maybe a 18-21 year old meet up and a 22-26. When you're used to have teen lounges, and this ship doesn't for older ones, it's harder to find others to hang with We wish they had the days of the week in the elevator as you totally lose track of days and times (good and bad) Internet connections were horrible. Balconies are great, especially when you can unlock the barriers.

We had a great family vacation. Biggest complaint is there is no area for the 18-21 year olds programmed to meet/hangout and same for the 21-26 year olds. When we cruised as a family previously on a different cruise line, there was always areas for those ages. Also when you've cruised before when you were younger, you were used to having some meet up places. The food was great. We enjoyed the dining room more then the specialty restaurants. Entertainment was so-so

The ship was awsome, plenty to eat and drink ( my wife and i got the drink package) and the entertainments was varied and very good. We booked our excursions through , they were very good as well.

This was my wife and my second cruise on Celebrity and we could not be happier. We saw many of the same staff from our first cruise a year prior and they all remembered us like it was yesterday. Words cannot describe how much we love these cruises. My wife says she will only cruise on Celebrity!

Beautiful ship with excellent service and food. Staff do a excellent job and work very, very hard. Michael and Joseph our cabin boys are excellent and do theyr jobs very well. Fallou and Zavia in Sillohoute are excellent as well. The ship is spotless, happy hour twice a day and service is top notch in every way. Deserts to die for. Large cabins and king size beds. Perfct, thank you very much.

Great value , nice boat , food good, they really worked at being friendly

The highlight was the 1 & 1/2 days at Istambul. We went on an excurtion at every port except Athens.

Tried to send this before but don't think it went through. We had problems with customer service on an otherwise great cruise. 6 of us were traveling together and had assurances that our rooms were together. Found on arrival that one was on the other side of the ship - whoever assigned it went numerically rather than all odd or even numbers. Customer service refused to help at all. We finally approached the people arriving at the next cabin and asked them to switch which they graciously did. The people who switched with them gave them a gift card in appreciation. Celebrity should have handled this. Our dining tables were also messed up - a different 2 of our 6 was assigned to a separate table from ours despite assurances by email and voice that we were all together. Customer service was no help - told me to find a maitre' de on my own and try to fix the problem, which I did. One of our party had her I-pad and Kindle stolen from her suitcase during checkin. She filled a police report and well as spending a couple of hours with Celebrity security filling out forms, etc. They told her that they would be checking video tape during that time and that customer service would get back with her. No one did and whenever she approached customer service, they said they had no idea what incident she was talking about and that she should fill out forms about it. A lovely cruise experience was lessened somewhat by these incidents.

Ignoring the fact we bacame very ill towards the end of our trip, the cruise ship itself was very beutiful and the taste ad quality of the food was very good. The staff is always very pleasent and they go out of their way to please you.

Overall, it was a great experience. The stateroom was the most beautiful and spacious I've had on a ship (we had a balcony). The housekeeper was wonderful as was the waitstaff in the main dining room. I enjoyed the lawn on Deck 15 and especially loved the indoor pool. The port selection was wonderful with 11 hours in each port. The ship was always very clean and well maintained. The specialty restaurant (Tuscan) had the most amazing food. The facial and massage at the Spa was wonderful, but they were a bit pushy afterward about buying their products.

Loved the ship. It was beautiful, clean, and well maintained. There was plenty of space in that we could always find a private place to lounge. Blu was a beautiful restaurant and not crammed. The elevators had great signage inside and out.

The ship has all the amenities, multiple lounges and resturants, shops, theatre, casino and more The service was outstanding by all ship personnel, the itinerary was packed with interesting cites during the 11 days

Our overall impression of the Celebrity Equinox was outstanding.

We sailed on the Equinox on Oct 5 to the Greek Isles on a 10 day excursion. This was our 6th cruise over the years and our lst with Celebrity. I wasn't dissappointed, but also didn't find it to be that much different than Royal Carribbean that we had taken in January in the Carribbean. It was our first balcony room and we loved that very much. For whatever reason, I was expecting the Celebrity to be much more luxurious and even though it is very nice, that didn't seem to be the case. The cold towels at the end of a land tour was a nice touch and the sunset lawn picnic was a great plus. The area that is set up for dancing isnt large enough. I think more people might have danced if there had been more room. Our room was attended to wonderfully and we had friendly, pleasant waiter and assistant at our table.
