We are Elite cruisers on Celebrity but had never been on the Equinox. It turned out to be one of our favorite cruise ships and one of our favorite cruises. We overnighted in Ft Lauderdale and did not arrive at the terminal until 12:30. Embarkation was flawless and we we on the ship in less than 30 minutes.Having been on other Solstice class ships many times previously, nothing stood out initially. ...
We chose this cruise because we love Equinox and were traveling with friends. Our cabin steward, Kimberly, was fantastic and the entire staff of Equinox were top notch. We love Silk Harvest!!! While the ports on the Western side are not our favorites, we only disembarked in Cozumel. The port areas are NOT the best and re-thinking every returning to that side of the world again. We love the ...
Celebrity's crew does an outstanding job of service. Specialty restaurants offer wonderful food. Michael's Club concierge goes above and beyond to meet the needs and wants of all suite guests, It is always a joy to go into Michael's Club after a busy day to enjoy a refreshment and tea time sandwiches in a very quiet environment with service that was always excellent, Both embarkation and ...
We've cruised many times but this was our first on a Celebrity ship. We loved everything about the ship. The service everywhere and the dining were very good. We were part of a group of eight all first timers on Celebrity and all of us thoroughly enjoyed cruise.
Colon didn't have much to do if you didn't want to view the locks. We had done the full canal transit twice before. We wanted to ...
Loved this ship and Celebrity!! Excellent cruise and our inside stateroom 1100 next to library was perfect! All aspects of cruise were top notch. We enjoyed Cartagena and went on a tour thru Marivel.arranged thru this site. Best ever!! We also did the Monkey Watch in Panama. Saw lots of monkeys!! In Cozumel, went to Mr Santos and would recommend if one has had their fill of pyramids and ...
Booked this 14 months ahead - as we find we get better deals & more perks. Did a guaranteed Oceanview and ended up with an accessible OV room (287 sq.ft.) Most OV cabins are 177 sq.ft.
Stayed at the Rodeway Hotel with a package deal: hotel pre-cruise, breakfast buffet, free parking for 11 days and a shuttle to & from cruise pier. We paid $2 extra to take the 9 AM shuttle. Got to pier and we ...
We had been on this same 11 day cruise on the Equinox last year in the reverse direction and had enjoyed it greatly. This cruise, however, exceeded that one largely because of superior entertainment.
The cruise director, John Grantham of Oxford, MS, is our favorite. He does not try to be cutesy and is very personable and always willing to talk to passengers. His booming but soothing voice ...
We'd taken this cruise before and enjoyed both the ship and the itinerary. The ports of call are interesting and a little "different" from the typical Caribbean stops. Our cabin, 1249, was a great location as it was near the library (hence, quiet) and in the part of the ship that "bubbled out" a bit from other cabins, affording us great views from the balcony. Our cabin steward, Dimas, was ...
This was our 6th cruise on Equinox, 14th on Celebrity. We're 56 and 62, have cruised Celebrity and Princess. This was the Panama/W. Caribbean 11 day itinerary. We had an absolutely fantastic time on this cruise; one of the most enjoyable ever. We found the crew to be friendly, food was great, cabin location and service was excellent, itinerary was much more interesting than we'd thought it would ...
Lucky that we choose Aqua Class stateroom. The restaurant Blu was of really high quality: Perfect service and good food. Thanks to Linda, our sommiliers Milan and Vitor + waiters Joseph and Hazan.
I recommend to do ship embarkation early. Take a taxi/shiuttle to the ship. You can have lunch and look at facilities inthe ship during the time they do the staterooms.
If you come early to F ...
