We sailed out of Ft. Lauderdale on 3/26/2012. The Equinox is beautiful. We tried Aqua Class and the advantages are being able to eat in Blu and use of the relaxation room in the SPA. Having had balcony staterooms prior to this cruise, we were disappointed by the storage. I am 5'4" and could not reach the overhead storage over our bed, not a big problem, but we adjusted. The shower is nice, but we found the shower and toilet are too close together...we adjusted. My husband lost his camera in the stateroom and it was not recovered.. Celebrity called us and said they had not located it.

The service is great overall, especially in Blu and the Silk Harvest Restaurant. All of the maitre d's shipwide are excellent. The only negative person we encountered was in the watch shop. The young man working there was very abrupt every time we visited. He is the only negative encounter we had with any staff.

As far as the shore excursions, we booked the cooking class in Cozemel and it was WONDERFUL! I highly recommend it..our Mexican chef has worked worldwide, kitchen was spotless free drinks and learned how to cook a 3 course meal (we had to eat what each of us cooked). We would definately do this again. This was our 3rd trip to Cozemel and by far the best. Read more
