First time sailing with Celebrity and my last. Sailed multiple other lines in the states and Europe. Beautiful ship, decent staff, poor customer relations. No shower facilities for the fitness center unless you book something in the spa. Not a big drinker but incorrect charges multiple times. Bars did not appear to have enough staff to handle customer orders. Automatic additional ...

The ship is absolutely gorgeous! The terracing/ layered effect in the martini bar is awesome and the chandelier is beautiful. Having been on the Apex, we really like the sunset bar but appreciate the redesign with the little more space and the Moorish theme. The staff are incredibly attentive and it feels like they're a lot more of them than they're really are. My son and I also truly enjoy the ...
You will be pleased with some of the over the top design and decor. You should like the service of the hard working crew, but will be not as pleased with some of the on board things.
The food has dropped dramatically in quality in the dining rooms, but the pleasant staff try to make up for it with excellent service. The chefs need to back off the amount of salt.
Entertainment continues ...
I almost didn't go on this cruise but I'm glad I did! There was a last minute cancelation which allowed this to happen.
The Ascent is beautiful and modern. Walking into it feels like walking into a high end club. I really appreciated the excellent service from our stateroom attendant, Edy. There are many nationalities on the ship that work very hard for a wonderful cruise for all of us. Please ...
staff, facilities, shows, specialty restaurants great; travelling in Retreat Class which provides a private dining room, Luminaire, rather than the ships three main dining rooms; service was great: breakfast and lunch were fine, BUT not one good dinner; both the food and the cooking of same were very sub-par.
staffing; wherever yo went, everyone was friendly and informative;
room; nice ...
We sailed out of Miami with our 3 teens on Spring Break. Embarkation was easy. We had 2 Oceanview cabins on deck 2 and were surprised at how modern, bright and clean they were. The beds were really comfy and our room attendant Rhea went above and beyond to make us feel at home. This ship may be older, but honestly, it was spotless and beautifully updated. We did not do any speciality dining and ...
Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
Thanks to my fellow cruise critics for your Equinox reviews. They are spot on. Everything about this ship is just a little better than most. We thought our experience was a good value and would recommend it..
We are senior travelers. The ship provided everything we wanted from a cruise. All of the public areas have a large and luxurious feel to them. The elevators are well planned and ...
Six seniors, 72 and up, 4 from Phoenix, 2 from Washington felt this sailing took us to new Caribbean ports. We normally prefer Celebrity and this ship was well rated, good sail date for our needs with reasonable pricing. Two couples in inside cabins and one in a balcony.
PRE BOARDING: We flew in the day before, a Sunday and all stayed at Residence Inn on Anglers in Dania Beach. The provided ...
