Celebrity Equinox Cruise Reviews for Family to the Western Caribbean

My wife & I have been cruising since the very early 1970s (M/S Boheme was first) .. we have done 40 or so on Carnival but left when it became so droopy pants and rotten loud music. Transitioned to 32 or so on Princess but were saddened to see our Elite category being diluted with the loss of complimentary benefits we had enjoyed in that category. Transitioned to Celebrity. Cruising has been very ...

We had been on 15 cruises with Royal Caribbean and decided to give Celebrity a try. We were expecting it to be a step up and it was, but not in all areas. We knew the Equinox was an older ship that had been refurbished, so that was no surprise. The exterior of the ship showed some age, but the interior didn't look dated. The furnishings were a bit nicer than on the Royal ships. Our cabin ...

Just got off the Celebrity Equinox (10 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Curacao) and thought I would post my review while everything was still fresh! We did the Retreat Class (Celebrity Suite) which was remarkable and in our opinion worth the extra price. The service on this ship is another level. Every single staff member seemed to want to make your cruise ...

My husband and I just returned home from nine wonderful days onboard Celebrity Equinox. Having just sailed on Eclipse a few months ago, we couldn't help but compare the two ships. They are very similar in layout so we found our footing right away. Craft Social was a nice addition to Equinox. We preferred the grassy area up top on Eclipse better than Equinox. We played a lot of bocce ball on ...

Went on this cruise pre-Christmas 2023. Found a great price on a Concierge class cabin. We've been cruising since 1988 and are both around 60 years old. I drink, but my spouse does not. CONS: The ship is older, but headed for dry dock in a few months. Rust was apparent outside our balcony but did not cause any concern. Some public area seating needs to be renovated. Be sure to note if ...

Wanted a pre holiday mayhem trip and this fit the bill. Ship was 100% booked, but didn't really feel like it. We were in ov deck 3 fwd.. Our fav spot for a cabin..guest service, main atrium & a bar all 10 or so doors away..oh & fwd elevators handy as well. Food was good in main drm. We did the steak house & it was fine w better service than main drm. Buffer was really well laid out and had ...

Having taken numerous cruises, including recent sailings on Virgin, Holland America, and Princess, I can say my 5-night Celebrity Equinox cruise stands out as one of my most enjoyable recent experiences. While some aspects like dining have changed since my last Celebrity cruise in 2012, the line still delivers excellent service, entertainment, and ship maintenance. Celebrity strikes a fine balance ...

This cruise is quite the opposite of a Carnival ship in my opinion. It’s pretty relaxed and more for the “older crowd”. I’d say there were only about 30 adults total on the sailing under the age of 40, so it’s not the cruise to go on if you like fun game shows and wild parties. But, the Crew members on this ship are definitely the best I’ve ever experienced between any cruise I’ve taken with all ...

December 2023 - 9 day cruise to Grand Cayman, Aruba, Curacao, Bonair. We went basic, with a standard veranda cabin, classic drink package, and premium WiFi. It was our 2nd Celebrity cruise, but around 20th cruise overall. Food: Main dining room had limited choices for dinner, quality was good to very good and service was excellent. Portions are small, but waiters are happy to bring multiple ...

I've cruised on 5 different cruise lines out of Florida, and Celebrity is one of my favorites. Cabin was a Celebrity Concierge Select cabin but was cheaper than a veranda, so I quickly booked it. It was the same size but with a smaller veranda than the regular veranda cabin I had on the Celebrity Silhouette in November. We got caught in a traffic tie-up and missed the special captain's lunch. We ...
