Cabin: AquaClass 2

Why we chose this cruise: Our cruises are usually itinerary driven. We selected this cruise because of the two-day port stop in New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

Background information: We are veteran cruisers. This cruise on Equinox was our 28th cruise overall and our second on Celebrity (our first was on Infinity in 2014). Other cruise lines that we have cruised on include Oceania, Disney, RCI, Cunard, Holland America, Princess and a few others (some no longer in existence). We do not have children and usually do not travel with friends. I am somewhat disabled (walk with a cane and tire easily) so that condition must be taken into consideration on excursions.

Pre-Cruise and Hotel Information: We flew to Fort Lauderdale from our home location and spent two nights at the Hilton Beach resort (booked independently). The hotel was very nice and we enjoyed the big room, the pool area, and local attractions. We had a marvelous dinner at Steak954 at the W Hotel next door to the Hilton. Our transfers to the ship were done with a limo service from the hotel.

Cabin Review

AquaClass 2

Cabin A2

This Aqua-class cabin is located a short distance from the aft elevators on the starboard side. The room was quite nice, with a large couch and comfortable bed. The bathroom was nice and large, too, with a walk-in shower. We had a balcony with chairs and foot stools and a large wood table. One feature that we really liked was the recessed entrance to the room; this helped avoid collisions in the hall and made a great place for the bags before debarkation.
