We are a group of 4 that have done over 20 cruises and we all feel that the Equinox is the best yet. We were on a back to back Med/transatlantic for 26 days and loved it. The Med portion was in a regular balcony and ate in the main dining room. The transatlantic was Aqua and we ate in BLU. Both restaurants were excellent. We also ate at all specialty restaurants and were very pleased with special mention to Merano's
There was a change of Captain and some staff for the transatlantic and it was barely noticeable. The staff (and I mean everyone) was top notch. Pleasant, knowledgeable, and engaging.
I have to disagree with the previous poster on the "nothing to do at sea", comment. Just one look at the daily schedule and most people can find many activities to fill the day.
