Embarkation was confusing but prompt. (The ship was full.) The crowd was almost all over 55. I think we saw 8 kids - all under 6. Our bags were in our room quickly. The online safety checkin was quick.
Our room was more spacious that I expected. The shower was nice sized. The balcony easily accommodated the two of us. Adequate drawer and closet space.
Getting power to our CPAPs was ...
We had been on 15 cruises with Royal Caribbean and decided to give Celebrity a try. We were expecting it to be a step up and it was, but not in all areas.
We knew the Equinox was an older ship that had been refurbished, so that was no surprise. The exterior of the ship showed some age, but the interior didn't look dated. The furnishings were a bit nicer than on the Royal ships. Our cabin ...
My wife & I have been cruising since the very early 1970s (M/S Boheme was first) .. we have done 40 or so on Carnival but left when it became so droopy pants and rotten loud music. Transitioned to 32 or so on Princess but were saddened to see our Elite category being diluted with the loss of complimentary benefits we had enjoyed in that category. Transitioned to Celebrity. Cruising has been very ...
This was our 6th cruise with Celebrity. We are in our eighties and have cruised 19 times. This was a cruise to the Dutch Islands of the Caribbean. As usual we made use of an outstanding cruise consultant with Expedia Cruises.
All the necessary information is on the Celebrity web site. The Celebrity App is really needed to avoid confusion. However, in our case, going cruising is ...

We booked this cruise when we were on the Apex cruising Ireland and Iceland in 2022. We wanted to experience an E-class ship on a warm weather itinerary. Just my husband and I looking for a warm getaway from a winter in the Northeast. Of course, the last 2-3 winters have been pretty mild. We got a great deal on an Aqua Sky Suite with $1500 on board credit and used the last of our pandemic future ...
Just got off the Celebrity Equinox (10 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Curacao) and thought I would post my review while everything was still fresh!
We did the Retreat Class (Celebrity Suite) which was remarkable and in our opinion worth the extra price.
The service on this ship is another level. Every single staff member seemed to want to make your cruise ...
This was a boring and dull experience with an invisible Captain George. Saw him the first night and again at Captains Club event...then who knows where he was or what to expect each day of the trip?? This was the opposite from our experience with Captain Leo on the Eclipse - so friendly, visible and informative.
Cruising in February to the Caribbean on this ship was so disappointing - a real ...
After reading dozens of reviews here about the Equinox, I echo just about everything mentioned. The ship is in excellent shape for being 15 years old and the lack of even a single outlet on either side of the bed was a sore point with my wife and I. Even the two outlets on the desk fell way short of what we required. Thankfully Celebrity fixed this on the newer ships such as the Beyond, which we ...
We have only sailed with Celebrity Cruises (6 in the last 10 years). It’s sad to see that post-Covid, despite investing in refurbishing their ships, they’ve taken away some of the things that made it a 5-star experience.
No longer are you greeted with champagne or a mimosa on entry. In AquaClass rooms, no more daily tea, fruit or canapés. I’m told that’s for concierge class now but AquaClass ...
