Cruised the Equinox from Feb. 23 thru March 6th and must say we had an overall great time. The ship was in terrific shape and the ports were great as well as the weather We had a bit of a tough start. The ship was being Sanitized from top to bottom because of a recent outbreak of the nor virus the sailing prior. This cause a late departure and even later ability to enter the staterooms.
There is no fault to be cast because it was a necessary inconvenience . But it did really make for a stressful first day and a lot of extra complaining from the grey hairs. I also must say this was the longest Muster Drill I have ever encountered, again a necessary evil.
After finally being able to enter the cabin we were pleasantly surprise. This was a frugal trip for us so we booked an inside in deck 8 and were surprised by the size and layout for the room and bathroom.
Cabin #8184 was an inside just forward of mid ship. Layout was great with adequate room for the 2 of us. Loved the extra storage above the bed but it was a little awkward getting to it. Closet was a little narrow but held a lot of clothes. Enjoyed the extra space in the shower. Really made a difference. Overall on of the better rooms we have had outside a balcony. The location was great and very quiet.
