We just sailed the Equinox, Med cruise, July 4, 2013, 12 nights. My husband and I have taken a few cruises with different lines but certainly not as experienced as most. To sum up our experience with Celebrity (our first cruise with Celebrity).......WOW!!

We booked Concierge Class, C2, room 2102. Could not have picked a better cabin in our price range. Location, location, location! 15 steps from elevator to room! Now the cons of cabin, for the extra money, Concierge Class is not worth it. Do Not have priority off at ports. Do Not get fresh flowers every day (had a few when we boarded and the same ones when we left 12 days later.)Fresh fruit is three whole green apples and an occasional pear. We don't care for little green apples so they stayed on the coffee table. The evening 'snack, niceties, whatever they call them', were a total joke. If I were in charge of this area, I would be embarrassed to even have this leave my kitchen. I kid you not, it consisted of 4 olives, 4 stale Doritos, a tablespoon of mystery dip, and an inch cube sized piece of watermelon. Our cabin steward, Dalia, was nice! But did not remember our needs like ice and bottled water, an ice bucket for wine, or getting rid of the decorative bed pillows at night. (She just put them on the couch and they were in the way all night.)

We ate in the MDR every night we were on board. We had chosen anytime dining. We had the same table and wait staff every meal. Our waiter Jotus, and assistant Josep were wonderful. So attentive! Jotus made sure we had brown bread every night ( we loved this bread but it was not always offered), The second we sat down, Josep was filling our water glasses with our favorite bottled water! My husband ordered an entre one night, Jotus brought him that but also another entre he knew T would like better and He was right! ANY special request was provided! The food was wonderful. The best I have ever had on a cruise! We were told by a couple who did the speciality every night, they said the food was really good but they preferred the MDR!

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 2

Cabin C2

Great location! Concierge Class is far over rated and overpriced. Fresh daily flowers, had same flowers from day 1 to end. Fresh fruit daily, had three whole green apples, the same we had the day before. Evening canap's were a joke. Does manage even know what is served? 4 olives, 4 stale Doritos, a tablespoon of mystery dip, and an inch square cube of watermelon......EVERY NIGHT the same! Some famous shower head, my $30 Waterpix has more settings. We didn't have priority anything!
