My wife and I were on the Celebrity Equinox's Venice Overnight cruise and had a wonderful time. It was our second cruise on Celebrity, and our first on a Solstice class ship. The ship was in fact truly stunning. The interiors were beautifully designed and very well furnished. We loved many areas, including the Sky Lounge on top with its wonderful views. Although we did not end up spending a lot of time up there, the lawn club on top of the ship was pretty neat. The areas were large, and we never, ever, felt crowded.

We had an excellent balcony cabin. It was one with the bed nearest the balcony, which was new to us, but we ended up liking it. Plenty of room under the bed for our suitcases, which was nice. In retrospect, we should have asked our steward to empty the mini-fridge on day one, but we just never did. Every time we would try to put something in, the whole thing would come tumbling out.

We ate only in the main dining room, second seating. We really enjoyed our food and found the menu varied and the portions about right for us. The waiter was happy to accommodate any changes or extras that we asked for, and was excellent in providing suggestions for the best dishes of the evening. We enjoyed our table-mates too much to try the specialty restaurants, so I cannot comment on them. I thought the wine list was a bit disorganized to my liking. There were plenty of good wines, but they could be had to find. I think a more traditional grouping of wines by type would be better.

Cabin Review

We had a balcony cabin on the Concierge deck 10. Nice room. Plenty of room under the bed for suitcases. I liked them storing the life jackets under the bed instead of in the closets like I have seen on some cruises. The light switch control was weird, as it seemed the master control was a small switch on the bedside lamp. Probably something we were doing. Bathroom was nice with a good size shower and good storage space
