Was on the 9-day March cruise to Cayman, Aruba and Curacao. I completely agree with the review. Fantastic ship, crew and cruise. In general this ship is for the older generation (like me). Very few children (I love them but not when your trying to relax commotion free). I like this size ship. It's not so massive that it takes 10-15minutes to get from one end to the other. I heard 2 complaints during the cruise. 1. Because of the up coming dry dock, there was some work (banging and grinding) being done during the day at certain parts of the ship that got a little noisy. 2. (My complaint, not a ship problem) The ship sponsored Aruba excursion was on a 30yr "Party" School bus that needed it's shocks and suspension replaced 20yrs ago. I needed a chiropractor when it was over. I swear a few bumps nearly ruptured my spleen. 9/10
My wife and I sailed on Equinox in October 2023 our first with Celebrity and we enjoyed it. Our only complaint is our Aqua Class Cabin was dated, not enough outlets and the balcony had alot of rust and was dirty. Our cabin bathroom could of used a deeper cleaning but the staff we felt had too many cabins and were doing the best they could. The crew including our room Stewart was outstanding and we would agree with the rest of your assessment as well of the ship as a whole. Equinox and Celebrity convinced us to go on a second cruise with them in March 2026 on there new edge class ship Ascent for 11 nights to the Panama Canal and Southern Caribbean. We are going to try a Aqua Class Sky Suite for the first time and are exited for this trip on Celebrity! Thank you for your review.
We spent 19 days on the equinox in June/July after the dry dock We had a great time and overall the ship was in fantastic shape Really what made it for us was the crew They were top notch and could not do enough for us Would sail on her anytime
Subscriber #376 checking in. I 100% agree with your review of the Celebrity Equinox ships in general. I was just on the Celebrity Ascent a few months back and my review would have been identical. I liked the buffett and main dining room a lot. My only negative regarding that class of ship is they have more movement in rough seas. However, it’s nothing a bonine can’t solve. Doug & Jenna
@@rexdillinger I’m taking a break from cruising until 2025. I was very excited about the Sun Princess, but it was disappointing. They ruined the buffet, the location and food choices at the International Cafe were not great and the rotunda in my opinion no longer felt high end. Overall, it was a nice ship with some nice features, but I need them to work out some kinks. I will be interested in seeing your 2nd voyage experience.
My introduction to Celebrity was early last year in the Solstice and I could say the same exact thing about that ship. They remain fantastic ships in their own right.

They were top notch and could not do enough for us
Would sail on her anytime
So,glad to hear that dry dock went well and that you loved your trip. We would definitely sail on her again as well.
Thank you for your review. I will be going on the Equinox next year and was concerned of its age.
You’ll have a great time!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for your review! Just took a cruise from the Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas, had a great time on that ship!

Got any plans to sail on the Sun again?

Thanks for the review. We’ll be on this lovely lady in early June!
Hope you enjoy it!

We had sailed the Equinox 10 years ago and I had forgotten how much we enjoyed the ship then!
We were on that same cruise
Awesome video thanks. See you July 20
Also loves celebrity edge
Not a fan of the Equinox. Felt ancient and got food poisoning from the tartar sauce in the pub.
That’s not good!
How do you know the dish? How do you know it wasn’t from shore food, or a gastro bug?
