Great review of Equinox....been on this ship 3 times and have a 14 day cruise booked on her again in Jan 25......Celebrity is the best cruise line as we have been on others .....did a transatlantic on the new Celebrity Ascent and it was great!!!
Thanks so much. That means a lot coming from a Celebrity pro! We are really liking Celebrity. Just got off Solstice last month. Have a great cruise in January!
Thanks for your insightful and enjoyable views of the food on equinox, we are booked for next year having just returned from a fantastic cruise onboard the constellation. Everything on constellation was amazing too. Thanks again 😊
Thanks for the sub!! I can't remember the selections specifically, but Celebrity CL has won 18 Wine Spectator Awards and offers over 500 selections of wine throughout the fleet. I think you'll be pleased! Let us know how it goes.
As a solo dinner, Maranos was very condescending, rushed, and not friendly. On top of that, I wasn't happy with my meal and they basically told me it was my fault because I didn't understand what I ordered. Will never eat there again. Glad your experience was different. Oh yeah, and I am a foodie who knows what they order. Or asks if they are ordering something outside their experience.
Actually the first night in the MDR, my meal was the Prime Rib, not Sirloin and that was amazing. It was the Steak & Chips that was not great. The rest of the meals, we felt, were better than RC
On Equinox, I’m pretty sure it’s just the buffet and the Mast Grill, which is on the deck above the pool, and is mainly burgers and fries type of food. If you are booked in concierge class, there are more restaurant options for embarkation day.
Dislike crowds at Oceanview buffet on embarkation day. On a cruise on the Eclipse, we boarded early. Got into bathing suits from our personal item bag, and enjoyed the solarium pool and hot tub before the crowds arrived. It was special. We ate a light lunch at the Solarium's Spa Cafe. On a recent Ascent cruise we ate burgers from the Mast Grill but I supplemented with salads, sides and smoothies from Spa Cafe (had Premium beverage package).
They were all wonderful! The only surprise was that our MDR head waitress was not very sociable--never introduced herself or spoke much. However, our assistant waitress made up for it. She was amazing! The specialty dining staff was stellar.
Yes, labeled as dairy-free, I think. If it’s a serious restriction (as opposed to a preference) make SURE you contact the special needs dept on the cruise line website so the MDR can prepare for you. They are very flexible!
Luminae is only for those booked in suite class, and Blu is only for those in Aqua Class. All the other specialty restaurants are available to anyone either with a pre-purchased dining package or for an additional fee paid on board.
we were on the solstice last year. we generously tipped our wait staff. they were beyond amazing.
That’s the way to do it!!
Excellent review..... Looking forward to our cruise.....thanks for all your help
You’re welcome! Have a great cruise. ❤️🚢

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching! Good to hear Constellation was good. Thanks for the info.
Dosa at breakfast? Yay.
Great vlog. We are boarding this ship in a few days.
How was the wine lists in the specialty restaurants?

Thanks for the video. We're foodies, trying trying to decide either Celebrity or Princess for our next cruise. Your video is helpful!
You’re welcome! I hear good things about Princess too!!

I really enjoyed this one

Coming from Carnival, so question, Embarkation day lunch my only option is the buffet?

No there are several
How's the staff attitudes? Polite? Welcoming?
Our last cruise with Royal Caribbean, the staff were not
They were all wonderful! The only surprise was that our MDR head waitress was not very sociable--never introduced herself or spoke much. However, our assistant waitress made up for it. She was amazing! The specialty dining staff was stellar.
@@AllThingsWagner our head waiter never smiled at all, 7 dinner nights.

Always order a Soufflé whenever offered. 👍😎
Yay for soufflés!!
Thanks great video. I am bording July 20
Thanks! Have a great cruise!!
MURANO'S!!! YES!!! We thought it was the BEST restaurant experience we have ever had. :)
Same same!! Amazing. 👍🏼
Any lactose free options???
Yes, labeled as dairy-free, I think. If it’s a serious restriction (as opposed to a preference) make SURE you contact the special needs dept on the cruise line website so the MDR can prepare for you. They are very flexible!
lol, JJ, trump guy…… how’s that stop the steal thing working out
That being said, it was a very helpful video
The food and menu is exactly a copy paste of what we had on Celebrity Beyond
Was the specialty dining special only for Murano? Or could ya'll choose any of the available restaurants?
Luminae is only for those booked in suite class, and Blu is only for those in Aqua Class. All the other specialty restaurants are available to anyone either with a pre-purchased dining package or for an additional fee paid on board.
I wish your meal choices were more adventurous. No one needs this many Cesar salad reviews
😂🤣 #truth. We’re definitely creatures of habit.
