This was our 12th cruise and 2nd on Celebrity and was thoroughly enjoyable. Since we have sailed on Celebrity Infinity, I thought I would like the Equinox and she was better than I imagined. It's with mixed emotions that I write this glowing review of our trip knowing that Christina Cassin lost her life scuba diving with the ship's excursion in Cozumel. My heart and prayers go out to her family and friends.

We had an aft S1 and in interior which worked well for our family. We have had aft staterooms on Princess two other times and we enjoy the location and the wrap around balcony very much. Unlike reported in earlier reviews, there was no discernible soot or vibration. This sailing had very smooth seas with only one day of moderate seas and the aft location was great. We slept with the sliding door open most nights to enjoy the sound of the wake and it was very, very nice. Our stateroom attendant Leslie was very good and the butler Rodney was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed our conversations very much and as busy as all the staff were; I always felt they would make the time to visit.

We know what we like to do on the ship and we usually like spending time as a family, so we don't get too involved in the shows so I can't comment there. My son enjoyed playing trivia and met many friendly guests. We had select dining and that was fine for us, but we had to wait a couple nights when we happened to show up at the same time a performance let out. We thought the main dining food was very good; particularly the plank salmon for the first formal night. Read more
