Celebrity Equinox Cruise Reviews

After reading dozens of reviews here about the Equinox, I echo just about everything mentioned. The ship is in excellent shape for being 15 years old and the lack of even a single outlet on either side of the bed was a sore point with my wife and I. Even the two outlets on the desk fell way short of what we required. Thankfully Celebrity fixed this on the newer ships such as the Beyond, which we ...

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 ...

My husband and I just returned home from nine wonderful days onboard Celebrity Equinox. Having just sailed on Eclipse a few months ago, we couldn't help but compare the two ships. They are very similar in layout so we found our footing right away. Craft Social was a nice addition to Equinox. We preferred the grassy area up top on Eclipse better than Equinox. We played a lot of bocce ball on ...

We have been on over 20 Celebrity cruises and have attained Elite Plus status. This was our eight time on the Equinox (visiting the same ports we've visited for years), but the first time in 5 years. We were on a back to back (19 days at sea), so the review includes our experiences on the 9 Night Aruba, Curacao & Cayman Cruise. Below I outline what we found to be the good, the not-so-good and ...

We are a retired couple from Florida and have cruised many times. The itinerary was great in the southern Caribbean: Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, and St. Kitts. The ship was very tired and worn out with lots of visible rust, weathered wood, stained cushions, ripped chairs, and many other damages noticeable. The food in the main dining room was very good, but the options were ...

The Pros: Fun activities. Not over the top. The Food was good but seemed the same over and over. (see cons). Baha Mar in Nassau was an easy and very good excursion. Try to get it on sale. Entertainment was beyond excellent!!!!!!!! All employees FABULOUS! Our embarkation was easy because we got there about 2:30. Cons: Dingy towels-smelled clean but looked gross. Towels are an easy fix. The room ...

I cruised on Equinox in Jan ‘24 with my adult daughter. I have previously cruised on Disney and RCCL. We were very impressed by the ship, the food, the drinks and the service. I wasn’t a huge fan of my RCCL experience to the point where I would not book with that line again and I did feel that Celebrity really did everything better. The food was really good. We ate dinners at MDR twice and ...

Went on this cruise pre-Christmas 2023. Found a great price on a Concierge class cabin. We've been cruising since 1988 and are both around 60 years old. I drink, but my spouse does not. CONS: The ship is older, but headed for dry dock in a few months. Rust was apparent outside our balcony but did not cause any concern. Some public area seating needs to be renovated. Be sure to note if ...

Wanted a pre holiday mayhem trip and this fit the bill. Ship was 100% booked, but didn't really feel like it. We were in ov deck 3 fwd.. Our fav spot for a cabin..guest service, main atrium & a bar all 10 or so doors away..oh & fwd elevators handy as well. Food was good in main drm. We did the steak house & it was fine w better service than main drm. Buffer was really well laid out and had ...

Having taken numerous cruises, including recent sailings on Virgin, Holland America, and Princess, I can say my 5-night Celebrity Equinox cruise stands out as one of my most enjoyable recent experiences. While some aspects like dining have changed since my last Celebrity cruise in 2012, the line still delivers excellent service, entertainment, and ship maintenance. Celebrity strikes a fine balance ...
