We are not veteran cruisers as many on this site so we had a travel agent recommend a cruise. We were not really fussy about what ports of call to visit, we just wanted a good shipboard experience. She did an excellent job recommending the Celebrity Equinox. Perfect for our age (55-60) It was our honeymoon (2nd time around for both of us).
Our cabin was nice, and we had an amazing sized balcony. We enjoyed the main dining room and the Oceanview Buffet. We had anytime dining which we really liked as it afforded us the opportunity to meet many different people. We ate at two of the specialty restaurants, The Murano with a group of friends we made on the ship, the food, service and ambiance as well as the company we were with was just exceptional. We also tried The Tuscan Grill, where we thought the food was good but not as exceptional as we hoped, however the service and the ambience there were first rate.
We met many of the senior personnel, they and the rest of their staff right down the line were just amazing. A special thank you to the Cruise Director Dan France and Hotel Director Jill Anderson. We were treated just magnificently, and we are so grateful to them.
Excellent. Space in the cabin was adequate. This cabin is on the curved part of the hump consequently we had an extra large balcony. Just loved it.
Miami is Miami. We stayed at the Intercontinental the night before the cruise. Excellent hotel.
We stayed in South Beach after the cruise. Always interesting and fun and ridiculously expensive, it is what it is. We were on vacation so we can live with it.
Interesting and fun. Saw Hemingway House and Truman’s little White House as well as the requisite bars.
A port like almost any other, a lot of the same shops selling jewelry and souvenirs. Not particularly impressive.
Pretty much the same opinion as we had of Costa Maya, though slightly more interesting wandering around the town.
