For my wife and I, this was our 13th cruise, the 3rd on Celebrity, and the 1st on Equinox. We sailed with our adult children and have to say this rank as one of our top 3 cruises. We tend to sail on the same lines. RCCL, NCL and Celebrity. With this cruise we pretty much have confirmed, Celebrity's crew friendliness, level of food quality and overall experience arenumber one with us. We sailed Conceirge class and the embark and debark process was rapid and painless. We prefer Acqua class, given the avialbility of the Blu restaurant, but it was not available. The food in Murano, Tuscan and the Main Dining room were excellent, I would stay away from Silk Harvest; a little too much like going to your local Chinese restaurant. Service in all the restaurants was excellent.

The Equinox's Cruise Director was one of the best we have sailed with. The entertainment each night was different and at a very high level - whether the company shows or the comedians. The musical venues were well aligned for each venue, especially Devico and Shashi in the Ensemble lounge.

The ships coffee bar, Bacio, wass a must most day for high end coffee drinks and pastries. Read more
