Our Background
We're a couple in our late 40's and this was our 6th cruise. We booked rather late because our original intention was to vacation in the fall, however when we found a good deal on the Equinox, we decided to go for it! We have friends who love Celebrity, and since we'd never been, we wanted to give them a try.
We didn't know anything about AquaClass, but ended up booking it because of the cabin location and the small price difference from Concierge class. I don't think Celebrity does a very good job of explaining the benefits of the AquaClass. On paper, it doesn't sound that enticing -- however in practice, it worked out great for us!
Great location, though a little far from the elevators. Quiet. Balcony was nice because the large overhang is not right above it. Unobstructed views.
