The embarkation was simple and quick. We were very impressed with the way we were welcomed aboard by the staff. The Equinox is a beautiful ship. The service was impecable and the staff was always friendly and helpful. We enjoyed all our dinners in the MDR and have nothing but wonderful things to say about all the staff members. Even though we had select dining, we never waited. We were able to request the same table every night or at least stay within the area where Conrad was the waiter. He was very attentive to our needs and was always very professional. Carlos, his assistant, was a joy to talk to every night. He always had a smile and a good attitude. Henry, the wine service attendant, was awesome. He always knews my husband's name and the room number to retrieve the bottle of wine. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more.

Being that I have some food allergies, Branko, the asst maitre'd made sure that even in the oceanview cafe I was taken care of and watched out for my well being. I am very impressed with all the attention and assistance we received.

Overall we enjoyed our trip. We did not know what to expect since this was our first time on Celebrity, but we are not disappointed. The only thing we hope they improve are the night shows. We have experienced better, but they seem to cater to an older crowd, but it needs some improvement.
