Just back from 5/16/2011 sailing. Equinox is a lovely albeit huge ship. In a nutshell, here's a review: embarkation, disembarkation ... excellent. Quality of food and dining options: excellent. Dining room staff ... excellent. Stateroom assistance ... adequate. Cleanliness ... generally very good, however stateroom carpet needed a good shampooing. Cabin design ... good. Felt much smaller than Infinity and Millenium. Cabin bathroom design was tiny but brilliantly done.Ports (Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Istanbul, Kusadasi, Naples) were a very good mix. Ship's tour in Athens was poor due to non-functioning radios at Acropolis. Ship's tour of Amalfi Coast and Pompeii was excellent.Our previous Celebrity cruises were concierge and suite. Did concierge on this one as well. Will re-think that for next trip. For the extra $800 not sure the flowers, fruit, TINY canapes and champagne were worth it. What was a good value was the classic beverage package. Beware: we bought the internet package. It never worked, despite assistance from the staff. Only after a number of requests were we able to recoup our costs. We were a group of eight and all agreed that despite the huge ship and large number of passengers we rarely felt squeezed in too small a space.Kudos to the Captain and the staff for an excellent experience.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 3

Cabin C3

Cabin felt small and closet was a tight fit. Balcony was luxurious (bump out). Bathroom was tiny but very well designed. Heard no extra noise.
