Thanks to Covid restrictions and other family travels, this was our first cruise in nearly 5 years. We had cruised twice before on Equinox and were a little concerned that the ship might have changed considerably. However, we needn't have worried as everything was more or less as we remembered it! Our only gripe was that most of our favourite, and quiet (!), sunbathing spots were now reserved ...
We had a wonderful time on our 10-day cruise!! Eddy Jenkins was an awesome cruise director, and the entire staff was friendly and anxious to see that we had a good time and enjoyed good service! The rooms were cleaned twice daily, the food was abundant and delicious, and the desserts were "to die for." We enjoyed all of the ports visited, especially Antigua and St. Maarten. The entertainment ...
What can you really say about a stateroom where the bedding had obviously not been changed from the previous guests. We didn't realize it the day of embarkmentas the sign in our room said, "not ready yet, will be back at 1pm" though the bed had already been made. We dropped our bags and headed out to the pool (where you will absolutely never find a lounger unless you are a very early riser) When ...
Our first cruise in 30 years and had a great experience overall. We were dropped off at the port terminal and an attendant checked our bags immediate. We went through check-in with only a 5 minute wait and were in our stateroom within 15 minutes of arriving at the port.
We had fairly calm seas the entire trip and the cooler weather leaving Fort Lauderdale soon turned to warmer Caribbean ...
This was our fourth HAL cruise, and we were very disappointed. Holland America has been wonderful in past years, and we have extolled it's virtues, but this Eurodam cruise seemed understaffed, and the service was lackadaisical at best. We booked a Signature Suite but found that it was just a larger verandah stateroom with absolutely no "suite" amenities.
Upon initial boarding, there was no ...
Thanks to my fellow cruise critics for your Equinox reviews. They are spot on. Everything about this ship is just a little better than most. We thought our experience was a good value and would recommend it..
We are senior travelers. The ship provided everything we wanted from a cruise. All of the public areas have a large and luxurious feel to them. The elevators are well planned and ...
Six seniors, 72 and up, 4 from Phoenix, 2 from Washington felt this sailing took us to new Caribbean ports. We normally prefer Celebrity and this ship was well rated, good sail date for our needs with reasonable pricing. Two couples in inside cabins and one in a balcony.
PRE BOARDING: We flew in the day before, a Sunday and all stayed at Residence Inn on Anglers in Dania Beach. The provided ...
We had a wonderful cruise to the southern Caribbean. We usually sail on Princess, but this ship had a great itinerary and a good price. This ship is going into dry dock and our balcony showed signs of wear. There was lots of rust , but maintenance came and painted it to give it a better look. The paint smell was a little overpowering. The food was delicious and escargot, shrimp cocktail, and ...
Embarkation was confusing but prompt. (The ship was full.) The crowd was almost all over 55. I think we saw 8 kids - all under 6. Our bags were in our room quickly. The online safety checkin was quick.
Our room was more spacious that I expected. The shower was nice sized. The balcony easily accommodated the two of us. Adequate drawer and closet space.
Getting power to our CPAPs was ...
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 ...
