We chose it because our 3 previous cruises with Celebrity. Which were all excellent. Embarkarkation did not go as smoothly as we had hoped, but the disembarkationn was good no problems. The first impressions of the ship were how clean everything looked,and how nice to be greeted with lots of smiling faces. The cabin was quite spacious with plenty of storage space, also spotless no issues there. We ...
This was our second sailing on the Equinox, the first was our honeymoon in 2010 and this was also my 61st cruise..
Celebrity certainly is a notch above most other lines, from the welcome aboard champagne to the décor and the smiles of MOST staff.
Entertainment overall is very good with something for everyone but not necessarily will everyone like everything.

This was the first segment of our Back to Back cruise, ending with the Trans-Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale. We arrived in Barcelona several days early to give us a chance to sightsee and get used to the time zone. The flight from Orlando-Frankfurt was an incredible nonstop. We booked through Choice Air, getting a Lufthansa Premium Economy for a third of what Lufthansa had on their website. Premium ...
Really great transatlantic cruise from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale. We were in a balcony cabin that seemed to have a little more space which we definetly liked. Very clean and a lot of fun activities throughout the cruise. Alejandro was a fantastic and funny Cruise Director. Entertainment started off a little slow, but it improved and got better as we continued our itinerary. Food was really good ...
The Celebrity Equinox is a wonderful ship with many outstanding features. This Transatlantic cruise had a great itinerary and the ocean crossing portion was enhanced with some excellent entertainment and "Beyond the Podium" speakers. In particular, there were three superb entertainers -- Katie Clark. classical pianist, Jayne Curry, singer and comedienne and Hanna, classical violinist. Speakers ...
Pros: The crew on board the Equinox were great and the service in the dinning room was top notch. The entertainment in the theater was very good and the ships dance group sang and performed very well. The ship is kept spotless from stem to stern. All the crew members were always smiling and asking if there was something we needed. We had a balcony stateroom and it had plenty of hanging and storage ...
Great cruise. The staff on the Equinox is the best. Loved the food in Blu, as usual. Finally got to Africa after three tries.
The watercolor class and leader Debbie was a highlight of the morning.
Wish their were 2 sessions of stretch class. Way too crowded.
Bars are way too crowded at coupon time. Never any seats available at 5 pm. Both getting on and off the ship went very smoothly, ...
We did the inaugural Transatlantic on the Equinox in 2009. We enjoyed it so much that we chose it again for it's last Transatlantic.
The ship was in splendid condition, and the crew was their usual professional and friendly selves.
On this particular cruise there was two standouts:
Jayne Curry (a singer and comedian from England)
"Ratatouille" the Cruise Director.
We enjoyed all ...
We have taken over 50 cruises (with a variety of cruise lines) and love Celebrity. This was our first voyage, however, on the Equinox, The service, staff and food exceeded our expectations. The ship was constantly being cleaned and it sparkled. Captain Nestoroudis gave great daily addresses from the bridge and had a good sense of humor. It was fun to see Alejandro (Cruise Director). We sailed ...
Our second Celebrity cruise. We liked the sound of the itinerary. I researched the itin prior to sailing. Didn't need to after all. Embarkation was very smooth, as was disembarking. The staff really wants to expedite the process. The ship decor is very nice. The guests are of a nice caliber. Not a lot of kids. However, the artwork provided by Park West is mostly the same on every ship they are on. ...
