Celebrity lost a star in the review for the very painful embarking we experienced. 1.5 hours standing in line is not a great start to a wonderful vacation.
Luckily, Captain Kate and the staff of the Equinox more than made up for the unpleasant start. Our dining group (Baron, Angela, Resa and Charm) were the best we’ve ever had on a cruise! Our favorites were the escargot, beef wellington, prime rib and the lobster ravioli.
For the first time on a cruise, we even enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and lunch. The MDR had fake hash browns at breakfast, not so the buffet. The Caesar salad at the buffet was very good. There were so many good choices.
Very comfortable and quiet. We slept wonderfully. If we had booked earlier and had a choice, I would have preferred more mid ship and a bit closer to the elevators, but other than that, we were quite satisfied.
