This was my first time cruising with Celebrity after having thoroughly enjoyed my first cruise with RCCL to Bermuda back in 2011. I was excited to explore the Caribbean and to try the more premium offerings of Celebrity. My wife and I had a great time and even booked our next Celebrity voyage (Constellation in the Mediterranean, Summer 2019) whilst still onboard the Equinox.

Ahead of the cruise, we spent a few wonderful days exploring Miami, enjoying the warm weather and great food before climbing aboard the Equinox for 7 nights in the Western Caribbean.

Our stateroom was nice, and we made constant use of our balcony. The only issue we experienced with the accommodation occurred in one of the ports, where we experienced a strong acrylic/chemical smell in the cabin that was the result of some work being done on the ship's hull. It was quite overpowering, we alerted the steward and he mentioned the same reported by other passengers. The work promptly ceased and the smell dissipated after some time.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 1C

Cabin 1C

Good sized cabin with comfortable bed and functional bathroom. I was concerned about the location so close to the bow, but we found it be quiet and secluded. Bulkhead is slightly lower on this cabin vs. further back and bridge is directly above so does hinder some photo opportunities.
