The ship is absolutely gorgeous! The terracing/ layered effect in the martini bar is awesome and the chandelier is beautiful. Having been on the Apex, we really like the sunset bar but appreciate the redesign with the little more space and the Moorish theme. The staff are incredibly attentive and it feels like they're a lot more of them than they're really are. My son and I also truly enjoy the ...
You will be pleased with some of the over the top design and decor. You should like the service of the hard working crew, but will be not as pleased with some of the on board things.
The food has dropped dramatically in quality in the dining rooms, but the pleasant staff try to make up for it with excellent service. The chefs need to back off the amount of salt.
Entertainment continues ...
I almost didn't go on this cruise but I'm glad I did! There was a last minute cancelation which allowed this to happen.
The Ascent is beautiful and modern. Walking into it feels like walking into a high end club. I really appreciated the excellent service from our stateroom attendant, Edy. There are many nationalities on the ship that work very hard for a wonderful cruise for all of us. Please ...
staff, facilities, shows, specialty restaurants great; travelling in Retreat Class which provides a private dining room, Luminaire, rather than the ships three main dining rooms; service was great: breakfast and lunch were fine, BUT not one good dinner; both the food and the cooking of same were very sub-par.
staffing; wherever yo went, everyone was friendly and informative;
room; nice ...
Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
Thanks to my fellow cruise critics for your Equinox reviews. They are spot on. Everything about this ship is just a little better than most. We thought our experience was a good value and would recommend it..
We are senior travelers. The ship provided everything we wanted from a cruise. All of the public areas have a large and luxurious feel to them. The elevators are well planned and ...
Six seniors, 72 and up, 4 from Phoenix, 2 from Washington felt this sailing took us to new Caribbean ports. We normally prefer Celebrity and this ship was well rated, good sail date for our needs with reasonable pricing. Two couples in inside cabins and one in a balcony.
PRE BOARDING: We flew in the day before, a Sunday and all stayed at Residence Inn on Anglers in Dania Beach. The provided ...
We had a wonderful cruise to the southern Caribbean. We usually sail on Princess, but this ship had a great itinerary and a good price. This ship is going into dry dock and our balcony showed signs of wear. There was lots of rust , but maintenance came and painted it to give it a better look. The paint smell was a little overpowering. The food was delicious and escargot, shrimp cocktail, and ...
We were in a Sky Suite on the 11th Floor and there was major popping and banging (not creaking) in the Walls while at sea that did not allow us to sleep. Imagine Popcorn and Fireworks behind your head. They tried to fix it during our first port day and could not. We heard others complaining about this problem in their rooms also and now see the other complaints on the review boards. We ended up ...
I had a family reunion on the cruise. Day 2 I fell on the slippery floors in the Oceanview Cafe. I came home with Covid. Infection control needs improvement! The shared serving utensils in the cafe area need food handling gloves available for guests, the salt and pepper should be cleaned, the tables should be cleaned with antibacterial solution. I ordered digital pictures of my family reunion ...
