To keep it short and sweet the Equinox is an excellent ship, Id say she is almost in better shape than the newer Silhouette and Reflection in some areas. She is super clean, the staff and officers are very friendly, service is top notch and food was great regardless of venue (from Murano down to the Mast Grille by the pool). There are a couple of exceptions though, service at the Mast Bar at the pool is, I hate to say, awful and you are likely to get ignored. Also the service is a bit slow and aloof in the Ensemble Lounge, though there are a few very good bar tenders there. Overall we were very happy with our 10 days on the Equinox in April 2015 and will be glad to sail her again!
