Celebrity just knows how to run a cruise ship. Service was uniformly excellent in all venues. The ship is kept in great shape. COVID protocols were strong. No smoking in the casino. Food venues are all excellent, in particular the Spa Cafe. I would say the food overall was not spectacular but consistently good. Some more variety would have been nice (we were excited to see the hummus bar at ...
We chose Celebrity Equinox as a follow to Celebrity Reflection.....we were disappointed with some of the cruise.
The cabin was good; the carpet was not in great shape and needs to be replaced. The AC worked great! Our attendant was amazing!!!
The dining room was short staffed....the meals were mediocre at best...I ordered Pork loin for lunch - i got 2 pieces of ham - breakfast in ...
We loved this cruise and as spa people we loved our AquaClass cabin, amenities, location and unlimited access to the Persian Garden but best of all Blu! Blu is the restaurant dedicated to those staying in an AquaClass cabin serving breakfast and dinner, which has exclusive menu items as well as offerings from the main menu. The location of the restaurant is fantastic having floor to ceiling ...
Excitedly boarded Celebrity Equinox today. We booked Concierge level room with the Indulge upgrade package. We have been sailing ?rc the last three cruises this past year, but the last two had numerous issues.
First issue was our room key did not state that we had the “Indulge” drink package. So, when we went to order drinks, the server couldn’t take our order without charging our room. We also ...
It was our first cruise ever.
Food on the ship was excellent overall (buffet, main dining room, tuscan grill and burgers at mast bar). Room attendant gave us excellent service. Ship is beautiful even if not new. All staff is helpful. Classic beverage package was perfect for us (lots of choice). Wine was good and frozen cocktails also. Embark and disembark process was quick and well ...
Took this cruise to celebrate someone's milestone b'day. It had been scheduled a year earlier, but due to Covid was postponed. Same ship, our group changed a bit, similar itinerary. We generally like Celebrity a lot, and now the wi-fi (poor !), gratuities, and basic beverage package are included. Great!
No Bingo? No pool party? No Cruise Critic party? etc. Noticeable cut backs or changes ...
The cruise was understaffed and was not diligent in sanitizing public areas. We both came home with Covid and the day before we disembarked in Ft. Lauderdale the captain announced 1% of the passengers had tested positive for Covid. No follow up, no mention of contact tracing. The staff was excellent but only one bartender and no wait staff in bars and lounges. We have cruised on Celebrity for ...
For nearly the past 3 years we have been trying to schedule a cruise for my husband and me, two teenagers, and my husband's elderly parents. This trip kept getting delayed because of pandemic-related issues, but our cruise on the Equinox was well-worth the wait. We booked Sky Suites in the Retreat and were so thankful we did. My husband and I are in our early 50s, well-traveled foodies, have ...
We chose this cruise based on the ship and the length of time for the trip which was 12 nights. There were many good things about this adventure such as the solarium and the service…the staff really works hard to keep everyone happy. We ate at 2 specialty restaurants called Tuscan and Murano and the food and service was excellent…there were 4 in our group and we all felt the meal at Murano was the ...
We want to keep this short:
Staff is still an 8 out of 10. Thank you, Celebrity Cruises.
We have now decided to not book Celebrity again due to one big problem and a few small.
The big problem is the food. Main Dining Room was so bad on 6 out of 12 nights. The other nights were - let's say okay.
Nothing compares to years ago. It's just sad and bad.
Further problems included ...
