Celebrity Equinox Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall my wife and I enjoyed it and will be cruising with celebrity cruises again

It was so good. The ship floor plan was perfect. Great cruise line. Again, this is my first time sailing with Celebrity.

Wonderful cruise. All ports of call excellent. Could have spent more time in Bonaire.

Just relax and enjoy every minute! Talk to the crew and don’t forget to thank them for their service.

If you need to get the magical islands of the Caribbean checked-off your bucket list, this cruise is a relaxing and convenient way to do it. Not only will you have plenty of opportunities to punctuate your experiences with shore excursions among enthusiastic and knowledgeable local guides, but excellent accommodations and staff aboard the ship as well. Be open to conversations with your fellow travels and soak up as much of the on-board entertainment as possible.

Celebrity standards have gone down a bit since the last time we cruised with them. Ship was a bit outdated, severely limited options for TV, even pay per view, (simply archaic compared to Holland and Princess free entertainment options). I probably wouldn’t go on this cruise again for the price. We’ve been on other ships we enjoyed much more for half the price.

One thing that I didn’t understand was that in my research, I saw over and over about dress code. “Smart Casual” and “Evening Chic.” My husband recently lost 90 pounds and as we live in Florida, when he had to buy new clothes for his new weight, he bought shorts only. To prepare for the cruise, based on everything we read, he bought three pairs of long pants and three button up, collared shirts. The first night, in Silhouette, we saw someone in golf shorts. I figured they allowed it because luggage might not have arrived in time. The second night, someone else was in golf shorts. But on the way out, we stopped at the hostess desk to change our reservations for the next night. A group of 8 was waiting to be seated (2 of their party hadn’t arrived). A young couple walked in. The girl had on cut off Jean shorts with her butt cheeks hanging out, a spaghetti strap tank top and leather flip-flops. He had a grunge t-shirt, jeans and sandals. I wants to the other hostess and asked if that was appropriate attire and she said they only enforce dress code on “Evening Chic” night. Why have a dress code if you aren’t going to enforce it? Do away with it then. My husband would have been way happier in golf shorts than long pants, but we specifically bought them because it said there was a dress code. When we went to the theater to watch the comedian, there were two girls in the front row in bikini tops and barely there cover up shorts. I’ve heard people say the crew members get yelled at by guests if they say anything about the dress code. Then have an officer enforce it. Crew most definitely should not get yelled at. But guests should be respectful. Overall, this was my first cruise. I talked to many passengers who had been on 30 or 40 cruises who said they were disappointed with one and that I shouldn’t use this to base cruising on. This was an anomaly. I felt I paid a lot of money to be in Prime Concierge, never to see my concierge. My excursions were so-so. The onboard activities were lackluster, the shows decent, but could have been better. The redeeming factors were the food and crew, which were outstanding. When I asked my neighbor, “I’m still not sure what Prime Concierge got me.” She answer, “Screwed. It got you screwed.”

First time using celebrity and it was great for adults. There were children but not many. This cruise is geared to adults. There are no sides and kids stuff. There are kids and teen clubs available for them. The entertainment is focused on adult type shows which I enjoyed. The casinos and bars weee good as well. And if you wanted a quiet space you could always find a spot.

Service was excellent! Shows and entertainment were great! Main dining room menu selection not up to high standards as previous cruises. Celebrity cutting back on higher priced food choices on shorter length sailings even though they are charging you same price per night as longer sailings. You now have to pay extra for lobster, rack of lamb, pork chops, fish, seafood, and many beef selections as they are only offered for an extra price in main dining room and at specialty restaurants with a high price point. Main dining menu is repetitive, with limited appetizers and main course options. Quality of food is still good but has also declined. Even cutting back on quality of perks offered to their loyalty customers. Time of loyalty reception was midday which was inconvenient for most guests to attend. Food and drink options were limited and in short supply as compared to other past cruises. Not a good way to treat your loyalty customers who keep you afloat!

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

I would do this cruise again in a heart beat. The only thing I would do different is get a room with a balcony and go on different shore excursions.

Have sailed most of the cruise brands and used to love Celebrity, but it was 10 years since I tried them and they've really gone downhill. Very disappointed. Feel like I need a vacation from this.

This was cruise #39 & we were on this ship for 19 days. We could have easily spent another week or so on this ship! Love the itinerary of both cruises.

Celebrity is a wonderful cruise line and would recommend highly for 40+ individuals and couples.

I would book through again. They came through with every promise. This cruise is not a night club and loud music experience, just peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful service and good food. Loved the lychee martinis.

Overall relaxing cruise. First time cruising on Celebrity but not my last. Great experience overall.

Overall, this cruise was one of the best one that we have taken. It had 2800 guests and 1200 crew members. Only 47 children were onboard. They had 8 elevators, which never broke down. Now, that's important! The pools, hot tubs, shows, food, great service, wonderful crew and captain were superb! We will definitely book another cruise on a Celebrity ship! We now have some wonderful memories and pictures!

A very relaxing and fun-filled trip with several good friends who share like interests. Cruise provided something for everyone and the variety of shows, events, gatherings, shops, etc. added to the enjoyment.

Enjoyed every day on and off ship. Crew was great, food plentiful, entertainment (ship band’s & vocalist) enjoyable.

The cruise itself was ok. The food in the MDR was just awful. The service was great however. The ship itself is very tired, and needs a major overhaul
