I find all Celebrity ships are excellent in almost every way. This was a back to back cruise from Fort Lauderdale to the Eastern Caribbean and then the next week to the Western Caribbean. I remained in the same balcony cabin, so there was no shifting needed. All b2b passengers are required to leave the ship and go through USA customs as the first week ends. It took only a few minutes, and we ...
We have been on the Equinox 4 other times, and dearly love this ship! This was a wonderful cruise from the very start to the very end. Embarkation was easy and quick....you had to download the app and do the pre cruise check in, and print out the boarding pass. After you go thru the initial security, you will be greeted by a person with a tablet, and she/he scans your bar code from your app, ...
This was our 46th cruise and 5th on Celebrity.
Cons: We booked this back to back cruise (two weeks) based on the ship and rooms being redone. Unfortunately the Suites were not. So we had and old room. The bedding was new and very comfortable and the patio was huge.
Pros: Most of the ship has been redone or upgraded. The Retreat and Lumina were Wonderful. The staff were very friendly, ...
This was our 2nd Celebrity cruise out of 18+ past cruises on NCL, Carnival, Princess. Celeb.'s the BEST from beauty, cleanliness, very kind staff, & beautiful rooms. Not sure if Aqua class was worth the $$ as our tickets said to arrive at 11AM and it was very crowded, w/ only "Elite" members given priority boarding, thus it took 35 min. in long lines :( The "Canape's"each afternon included 4 ...
The Equinox was a beautiful ship. Our stateroom was clean and our Steward, Fatkur, kept it clean and well supplied with everything we needed. All we needed to do was ask for anything we did need. The food in the main dining room, where we ate each night was some of the best we have had. The servers were professional and described what each choice contained or how it was prepared. They could not ...
My parents wanted to take all of us on a cruise. It was my husband and I and our two children, ages 5 and 7, my sister, brother in-law, nieces and nephew, ages 17, 14 and 12, and my parents who are in their 70s. They heard Celebrity is an excellent cruise line (they have been on many cruises but had never cruised Celebrity), so they booked it. I am so glad they did. What an awesome ship!!

This was the first cruise for just my wife and I without having our kids onboard. Previous cruises have all been family cruises on Royal Caribbean. We are both in our early 50's.
We flew into Fort Lauderdale the day before our cruise and took the hotel shuttle to the Hyatt Place on 17th Street, near Port Everglades. We took an Uber to/from dinner on Los Olas Boulevard- about $8 each way. Many ...
Our Ideal Vacation:
I think the first thing that I think everyone should state is what they're looking for in their cruise vacation. We were a group of four girls in our late 30's to early 50's who wanted to get away for a week's worth of extreme relaxing, reading, staring at the water, eating good food and just not having to do everything for ourselves for a week. We're not foodies, we're not ...
Just returned after 7 nights on the refurbished Equinox. We are experienced cruisers and this was our 4th cruise on Equinox but 1st in several years.
The staff may have been the most friendly and helpful that we have ever experienced.
This was our first time using Select Dining and it worked out well for us. We had no trouble making reservations on line in advance of our cruise and the ...
We were a little worried about this cruise since we had read a number of negative reviews recently, but we experienced nothing negative at all! Embarkation was fast and easy. The entire crew was the friendliest and most helpful we have ever experienced. The food in the main dining room, buffet and sushi on 5 were all fabulous (we didn't eat anywhere else). We had purchased the 4 Perk package so ...
