To start let me give a little background information. My wife and I were somewhat novices prior to our Celebrity Equinox Transatlantic Cruise. This was our 3rd cruise. Our first was a Costa Magica Western Caribbean in January 2006 cruise that was cut short due to a young passenger that fell overboard during that cruise. Our 2nd cruise was a Royal Caribbean 3 night Bahamas cruise in October of 2012. This cruise was also cut short due to Hurricane Sandy. This cruise stayed in port and left 27 hours late due to high seas. It eventually departed with only a couple hundred passengers left on board. The Captain advised that it would not be able to make port in the Bahamas due to hurricane damage to the arrival port. It was labeled as the cruise to no where. We ended up only going out a few dozen miles and just sailing in a circle. For my wife and I we found it an adventure and actually quite fun. Besides that we had fantastic round the clock service, since the passenger to staff ratio was so high. Our 3rd cruise was this past November. A west bound transatlantic on the Celebrity Equinox.

This cruise was a vacation that the both of us had dreamed about for several years. We were originally booked for the inaugural Celebrity Reflection Transatlantic in November of 2012. Because of family conflicts, we had to cancel 3 months prior to that cruise. Immediately after that cancellation we booked our Celebrity Equinox TA and with that had 15 months to dream, research and plan. We also used the Cruise Critic and followed frequently the forum that was set up specifically for this cruise. We found it very helpful with our research and planning. We found friends with similar questions on this forum. Attended activities on board such as the cabin crawl and meet and greet. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about a cruise of this length to consider letting a Cruise Critic forum thread help you. It will enhance your experience. Guaranteed .

Now with the background out of the way, let me tell you about our experience with this Transatlantic.
