Celebrity Equinox Review

Additional details
This was our 7 th cruise and our first on Celebrity. We were impressed with the service, food , entertainment , beauty , and cleanliness of Equinox. We generally like a smaller ship, but the ship is so well planned that it gives you the wonderful stability of a larger ship with less walking and always a feeling of space!! This really was a happy surprise as we never were in a long line up for food , seats , or service!! Everything in the ship radiates from the middle , and it's the first time I didn't get lost on a ship! We loved the solarium pool as even on our one rainy day, I could still swim !! The captain did an amazing job of keeping us out of rain!!
The staff were so wonderful providing the best service possible. Without us asking them, our great room stewards, Hari and Orias , brought us extra hangers! There were lots of hangers there, but I packed way too much again!! Jay , in the hair salon , fixed up my poor haircut -- a true artist, and I highly recommend him! I would go back on Equinox to get his expertise in cutting hair!!. Our waiters, Sudira and Anak , were the Best , and even took a picture of us which has received many compliments! The cruise director was also the best I have ever seen on a cruise ship. He deserves a medal for the way he handled the bratty kid who socked him in the nose and refused to leave the stage ! It was absolutely hilarious because he handled the situation with such grace and class! Finally , a word about the amazing women keeping the washrooms spotless who cleaned up right after each person's use!! The food was also incredible , and my husband enjoyed the best lamb dinner that he has ever had on a ship! I am not really a dessert person, but I ate more than I should have as they were so tempting! The entertainment was five star with top singers, dancers, acrobats, and sets!
The only wee complaint for me was that my bed was a little too firm . However, I did sleep like a baby!! My son tells me that I could have requested a pillow top , but I didn't know that. All in all, we know why people love Celebrity and one never hears anything negative about them!! What's not to like!!??
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 2A
The room was far above average with a really comfortable deeper balcony and a large enough table to accommodate a full breakfast! The view was wonderful from it with no obstructions and lots of privacy. It was midship on the hump and so handy to the elevators but still very quiet! There were many cupboards for our clothes and the bathroom space and storage was far superior! I liked the bar in the shower for shaving my legs! Also, the shampoo and conditioner products were excellent and I didn't need the ones I brought with me!
Our room stewards were the BEST-- Orias and Hari! They kept the room spotless and made sure that we had enough hangers, water , towels etc!!!
Port Reviews
Barbados
This was a great safe beach where you could actually swim without the waves knocking you over! We would love to return there!
Dominica
I enjoyed the wonderful view that we had from our balcony ! We ate breakfast outside as the ship was docked in such a lovely location. My husband did walk off but it was very hot and I preferred the comforts of the ship!
St. Maarten
This was our 4 th time to this wonderful island ! Again it was extremely hot and we chose to shop a little and return to the ship.
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Wonderful!! Winston , our very informative and experienced driver was awesome!! The house was memorable with lovely grounds and views . It was our 2nd time in St. Kitts . We loved the beach and facilities and would like to return again!
