Wife and I try to do two cruises a year. This cruise was our 2nd of the year, and our 2nd on the Equinox.
We have been on this ship 3 times in the last 18 months, so we feel like we know every nook & cranny at this point. We usually sail with family, but this time it was just us celebrating our anniversary.
WHY CELEBRITY?
6231 is the best bang for your buck balcony on the ship. Deck 6 has many partially obstructed balconies due to the lifeboats, but there are a few that are not!
This cabin is on 1 of 4 "humps" on Solstice Class ships. The lifeboats are under these cabins rather than in front of them. You pay less for deck 6, but get the same view as everywhere else.
We have been to San Juan many times. Beautiful city at night.
Went to Magens Bay on our own. Wonderful beach and we always felt safe.
