Equinox western Caribbean 6-29-19 – Aqua class cabin# 1560
Travel and embarkation:
We arranged to fly to FLL the day before the cruise. We originally had booked a 5:30 AM departure the day of the cruise on Southwest using points. But later we decided a 5:30 flight meant a super early start and ...
This was our third cruise on Equinox--our fifth with Celebrity. Embarkation was fast and painless and in a new change, our room keys were waiting in the slot outside our rooms. The just took our picture at check in. We were allowed to board at about 1045 and staterooms were available by 1 pm. The ship was freshly out of drydock sporting a dazzling new paint job, new carpets and many interior ...
We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this cruise starting with the embarkation. The ship has been through a makeover and they have done a masterful job. Aqua class service is extraordinary as well as all common areas of the ship.
We chose to dine in Blu in the evening but also used the buffet for breakfast and lunch with plentiful options for both meals.
The nightly entertainment on board ...
Wife and I try to do two cruises a year. This cruise was our 2nd of the year, and our 2nd on the Equinox.
We have been on this ship 3 times in the last 18 months, so we feel like we know every nook & cranny at this point. We usually sail with family, but this time it was just us celebrating our anniversary.
WHY CELEBRITY?
If you are reading this review, I am going to assume that you are ...
Well just returned from a 7 day on the Celebrity Equinox. Let’s talk about the positive notes first. Nice ship. Excellent crew, unbelievable Captain. She was at all the major functions and saying bye to everyone when we all left. The very first captain I ever saw at all the shows and around the ship greeting everyone. Our OV cabin was better than the one we had on the Reflection. This time the ...
I WAS a loyal Celebrity cruiser until.....
I have taken my last cruise on Celebrity Cruise Line.
I had three cruises scheduled for 2019. I have completed two of them and canceled the third.
Celebrity Cruise Line has gradually deteriorated to the point that I am no longer willing to go on a cruise that I scheduled for November of this year.
My first cruise this year on the Equinox was ...
I chose celebrity because it had more of an adult theme than some of the others. It was perfect! From the moment my husband and I embarked, which went smoothly, we were blown away by the excellent service. The food was the best I have ever had, the ship was spotless, the shows were very good, and our aft room(1674)was very comfortable. I noticed our balcony was a little longer than most others. ...
My husband and I took this cruise for our honeymoon, and we loved it. We had such a great time that we have another cruise booked for 2020 and are bringing my mother in law and sister in law along with us. By far the best vacation we have had! The food was amazing, even in the buffet. We loved getting room service included in our price and not costing any extra. Loved that the captain and officers ...
We sailed on the Celebrity Equinox for the first time and after sailing on other cruise lines (i.e. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, NCl and Disney) Celebrity was at the top of our list. I have been on 18 cruises and the only cruise line I would sail on besides Celebrity would be Disney.
We loved the first class touches and treatment we received from Celebrity, no flashy gimmicks (slides and ...
Disclaimer: This review is shaded a happy hue due to this vacation being an opportunity to celebrate our son's recent graduation from college.
If you don't want to read the entire review I will begin with the summary. We had a very good time during our seven day cruise. This partially refurbished ship is still the Celebrity Equinox, the staff remain as friendly and hard working as ever, ...
