Just got off the Celebrity Equinox (10 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Curacao) and thought I would post my review while everything was still fresh!
We did the Retreat Class (Celebrity Suite) which was remarkable and in our opinion worth the extra price.
The service on this ship is another level. Every single staff member seemed to want to make your cruise ...
This is a new cruise that Norwegian is testing. Starts in Dominica Republic, goes to 14 islands in 14 days, southern swinging up eastern back to Dominica Republic. It’s on the Norwegian Sky. Older, smaller ship but refurbished a few years ago. Because it’s a smaller ship, able to get into smaller islands. Only one tender to a private island. Lots of beaches, lots of cultural experiences and some ...
After half a dozen cruises with X with falling standards, we went to another company for 2 cruises but decided to give them another chance. Happy to say that in the main, things had got better.
Embarkation was good with the exception of needing to show paper copies of Esta, which neither couple knew about. Although I had copies on my phone I needed to locate them but wasn’t given a chance, with ...
This was our 3rd cruise with MSC out of a South African Port.
We were Aurea, and it is well worth it for the priority boarding alone.
The staff in the Main Dining room were the staff stars of the cruise, friendly efficient and very attentive.
The meals in the main dining room were very good and well presented.
The buffet was as expected, mainly overcrowded and typical buffet ...
My #1 criticism about this ship was the elevators...so really, that's a pretty good thing. That said, I don't recall a ship with consistently longer wait times than this one. I don't know what the reason for this is (programming maybe?), but it was enough that we'd usually end up bailing and take the stairs. Not a huge deal, but it would be if we had strollers/wheelchairs etc.

We've been on 35 cruises mostly Princess (my favorite) Royal Caribbean and a few others, but for a short cruise, this was excellent.
Embarkation was quick and so was debarkation even tho I need a wheelchair, Usually, this can take time but not on this ship. Only surprise was the buffet closes at 8:00am on debarkation day. Clever way to get people moving.
Our room seemed small, it was an ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since we can easily get a ride to the port. We wanted a break from winter. Neighbors joined us, making our party two couples 57-61 years old. We each had an ocean balcony.
PROS: As mentioned, convenience to port. Plenty of shelving around bathroom sink (6 shelves for all of the meds, makeup, toiletries etc.). Plenty of closet space between 3 closets. ...
The crew have been handpicked for the ultimate world cruise and it shows. They are bending over backwards to bring unique experiences, cultural shows, destination briefings, etc. The company has created some frustrations through inconsistent policies towards people doing same types of sailings (ex, offering discounts to those paying in advanced but not applying this equally to clients), and on ...
Amazing time!
Great food in all places
Great service all around
Ports, we love the Aqua Trax at Halfmoon Cay. We appreciated the clean up and move of clam shells down the beach.
Grand Turks- Margaritaville stay- their is a beach at Port. John Glenn exhibit to the right is cool then a smaller beach behind it.
Amber Cove - did a bus City tour. Tour guy Homberto was great. Stopped ...
Our housekeeper, wait staff Rakeesh and Rama, waitress from LA Cucinda I believe she is from Panama very professional and Stephen, and our cruise director Jack awesome ppl. The groups and shows were fantastic. We shall cruise again on this cruise ship and its line. I would love to have seen more shows to attend, however overall we were pleased with most of all departments being courteous and ...
