This was my second cruise on the Equinox in 5 years and felt that they have lowered their standards of service and quality of the food. On this trip we cruised the Mediterranean and took 2 of the ships tours. It was quite a let down. I would consider the guides a bit mediocre and disorganized. I cannot imagine what kind of kitchen staff they have in the main dining room but they had no idea how to cook and serve noquis.
The pool area is very comfortable and one always found lounge chairs available. The shows were quite good and I did like the idea that the first show is at 7pm so that I could watch it and not fall asleep.
The service in general was quite good . I did not like the idea of the staff pedaling the beverage packages throughout the ship the first 2 days of the journey. If a passenger has the complete beverage package why should they be charged extra for whatever is consumed in the room refrigerator?
The cabin is well thought out and comfortable
