Celebrity Equinox Cruise Reviews

The terrible experience for us was the boarding. Coming from Europe we needed the Esta Permit which we got online. While we had no problem getting into the USA we had problems to get onto the ship. Nowhere does Celebrity state that you have to bring the Esta in print or show it on your handy. As ours was applied for quite a while ago I had problems retrieving ours, took 45 minutes and was a very ...

We decided on this cruise because it had a 10 day schedule to the southern Caribbean Islands. We reviewed information on this cruise on youtube , one word of caution, do not listen to anyone on youtube, I believe they are getting some kind of benefits from promoting these cruises, I will make a list of issues regarding this cruise, 1. Furniture, bathrooms, fixtures, pool area, spa, ...

We have been on many cruises (about 27 now) and have been suite guests for many of them, commonly referred to as Retreat guests. Well, now, on Celebrity they have taken away many of the perks that used to come with being Retreat Guests like no butler service, and the room was just a little bit larger than a veranda room at 3 times the cost. Also, the Sundeck was only reachable by climbing stairs, ...

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise (our 9th)- Great staff, good slick service generally and the ship was in absolutely fine condition given it is about to be dry docked and refurbed. Main complaint was around chaos every evening in MDR and menu choice which was pretty poor. For the first time every cruising we chose to got Ocean View one evening as the starters consisted of 4 soups and ...

This was our first cruise since the pandemic and we chose Celebrity based on two prior cruises with the line. We were in the Starboard Aft section of the ship. It was an obstructed balcony cabin, but the only obstruction was a bit of decking blocking a direct downward view. Otherwise the view was perfect. Cabin was quiet, comfortable and with enough room for us. Service- Service on the ship ...

First of all, the ship is just beautiful. It’s understated, not the usual cruise ship glitz. The artwork was great. The atrium and the shops were just beautiful- the shops are in a two deck area so the height gave the impression of far more room than the usual crowded area. There are little areas, like Team Earth on 7, where you can just relax alone on comfortable chairs. Never a problem finding a ...

Let me preface by stating I have been cruising for a while now. I am not a newbie. I'm considered to be 'Elite'/'Pear' level on this ship. Was shocked to see they were charging $4 for a bottle of water, adding another $1.20ish or more for tip, and then finally adding on tax and selling a cheap bottle of water for almost $6. Bit excessive I thought. Charging a tip for a pre-bottled water when ...

Chose this itinerary for the ABC islands which we love. On/Off ship was fastest we have had. No issues and being able to drop off carry-ons immediately to room was super nice. 1st time on celebrity. Ports of call easy on/off too. Ship- overall nice ship with ample space. Pool areas small and got very crowded as it was hot all cruise. Doesn't feel as big as the ship is. Felt more like ...

Honestly I was told Celebrity cruise are a step above the rest. More like down grade, the boat is definitely showing aging in the room other parts. I paid for a deluxe veranda. Still got two regular chairs so big balcony with nothing on it. I strongly don’t recommend buy drink package, because you wait 30-40 minutes for a drink, I couldn’t even get a good buzz going. The main dinning for was ...

After a 12 year hiatus of cruising, I decided to venture out and cruise on a cruise ship that I’ve never been on before. The celebrity equinox seem to be a good choice. Arriving at the designated port for the celebrity equinox, there were many individuals to guide you on your way. You have a choice to have your bags brought aboard by orders, or you may take them yourself. Unfortunately, that was ...
