We chose the Celebrity Equinox because we had sailed her in Europe a few years ago and liked the ship very much. The first ship we had been on with real grass on the top deck. Overall the crew was great. The Corning Glass shows were very nice. We had Concierge class cabin 9281 (Balcony). The cabin size, including the bathroom and shower were larger than many other cabins we had been in. Our cabin attendant (Karen) was excellent. The crew throughout the ship was very friendly and always greeted us every time we passed them in a hallway or other area of the ship. The entertainment was average. The slot machines were very stingy, but that's normal for any ship. We had been to all the ports prior to this cruise (San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas). They are nice ports, especially for new cruisers. Overall, we had a great time. Celebrity is a step above RCL which is a sister company.
