We were ready for a get away an booked this in April. The ship was as we expected. Everything was maintained and the staff friendly and helpful. This was our 3rd time aboard the Equinox. We were in Aqua, deck 11 and had Sidine, a super cabin steward. Service was good everywhere, especially in Blu and for the cabin.
If you use the Persian Garden, be prepared to have people hog the heated recliners and leave their stuff to "reserve" them. Staff does not monitor use in there and when we were there could not get one of the recliners for hours because no one adhered to the posted times.
Since we had been on Equinox within the last 2 years, some of the entertainment was the same and not much for us. All the guest entertainment was good and not a single repeat from previous cruises for us.
The cabin is showing some wear and tear, some liquids spilled inside the desk drawer left it looking like a run down apartment, but everything else was as pristine as could be after 10 years at sea.
We had 2 maintenance issues, each handled within an hour.
