	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Nice Ship, Staff, Okay Food by Bryan B from Milwaukee, WI Sailing date: Jan 2012 Pros: Friendliness of all Staff, Decor and Feel of the Ship was very nice. Cons: Concierge Service was not worth the price, did not get pillow menu (was told that they were out), they do not allow iron's, so you have to get clothes pressed through their laundry service, Appetizers delivered to room were very underwhelming, No Binoculars (again, told that they were all out) Overall the Food was fairly bland and okay. Nothing was really spectacular, but nothing was bad either. We had a great time, but felt that the cruise staff lacked the ability to take care of the details. That being said, everyone was almost overly friendly, and appeared to be having a good time with us. Ship Details: Ship Quality My description was that it looked like Restoration Hardware threw up all over the ship. If you like that style, lots of wood, some bright colors, and modern looks, then you will enjoy the ship. Everything was super clean around the pools and eating areas. Dining/Food As stated above, nothing special, but was okay. Best part might be the Mast Grill Hot Dogs & Hamburgers. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality VERY Friendly. Entertainment & Activities Cheesy, but most people seemed to enjoy. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Balcony moderately good by Payal P from United States Sailing date: Aug 2011 Pros: excellent staff Cons: food the staff was very accommodating however the formal dinning area food was less than desirable. The breakfast and lunch in the Oceanview Cafe was the same routine meals. I prepaid for my internet use but a lot of times the internet connect was down. I was not given a refund for the balance of the prepaid amount.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 A Great Honeymoon by Vinnie B from NJ Sailing date: Aug 2012 Pros: Amenities, Amount of Bars, Entertainment, Food Cons: Pool Size, Staff, Price of things on boat (Excursions, Internet, Classes, etc.) We thought the ship looked and felt great with this being our first cruise. It was big and there were a lot of entertainment options going on all the time. Obviously cruising is expensive but we thought for the price we paid, other costs on boat would be nominal. (I mean, .75/minute for internet that barely worked.. That's pretty outrageous) Still, we had a great time and thought the menu in the main dining hall gave us plenty options that we were quite pleased with.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Celebrity Equinox TransAtlantic Cruise by Betty B from Atlanta Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: The ship, the service and the food Cons: Older passengers - lots of walkers and wheel chairs The Equinox is a newer Solstice class ship. Very easy to navigate and plenty of activities. The crew (including the captain and exec chefs) were continually interacting with guests.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview A wonderful cruise by Michael Zlotnitsky from Bethesda, MD Sailing date: May 2011 Pros: Everything Cons: The least I liked is the idea of departing from each destination reached at 6pm. We should've be given more time to enjoy the evening live of those ports visited. A very professional service, quality of food, as well as a great quality of entertainment.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great value and fantastic service by Kristy C from London, UK Sailing date: Jun 2012 Pros: Attention to detail, size of staterooms, service Cons: Extend your Stay program I am extremely happy with my experience on this cruise. Orbitz made the booking easy and they were also available for changes, questions leading up to the trip. Celebrity Cruise line exceeded my expectations. I've traveled on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Princess. Celebrity impressed me more than the others. Customer service really stood out. The food was delicious. Great amenities. Fantastic activities. I will definitely try and book again! Ship Details: Ship Quality There was always staff cleaning. Almost too much! I felt guilty that our staterooms were cleaned twice a day. The bathrooms were immaculate. The size of the ship was appropriate for the number of passangers. There was always a lounge chair available which I appreciated. I loved the artwork too. Dining/Food My husband and I choose the late seating every night. We dined in the main dining room and didn't try any of the speciality options. Why? Because the standard dining room options were fantastic. Many things to pick from, good quality. We loved that there was a fresh bread basket every evening with 3 varieties of butters. Beautiful decor. We were seated at a 2 top but we were right next to other tables so it wasn't as private as we'd like. I could also see into a staff area which wasn't the best, but overall it was okay. Stateroom Quality Very comfortable, plenty of space, bigger than any other stateroom. We were able to get upgraded to a veranda room which made all the difference in the world. Ship Staff Quality I work in hospitality for a major chain hotel so I appreciate good service. This ship has got it right! Everyone was genuinely friendly and helpful. Entertainment & Activities There were so many activity options depending on what you're interested in. Wine tastings, dance lessons, trivia, cooking. Something for introverts, something for extroverts, for families, kids, couples, solo's. Early, late, in-port or at sea. They had a main stage performance every night. They did repeat some of the performers. 11 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Best vacation EVER! by Kristin S from Atlanta, GA Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: Entertainment, activities, food, crew This was hands-down the best cruise I've taken. Every aspect of the boat and the cruise line was excellent. I would definitely recommend both to anyone. Ship Details: Ship Quality The Celebrity Equinox is a more contemporary-styled boat. I've been on other boats that were more elegant or party-oriented, but this one was just right! The decor was very interesting and artistic and quite enjoyable. Dining/Food With several specialty restaurants to supplement the standard dining options, there is no shortage of great food. I especially recommend getting a seat at the Tuscan Grill at 6pm to watch the sunset. Magnificent! Stateroom Quality The stateroom was in great condition and nicely decorated. The size was comparable to other boats I've been on. Ship Staff Quality The crew of this boat... Wow. They are exceptional. Every time you see them -- any of them, they smile and greet you. The officers were frequently seen around the boat mingling, too. Entertainment & Activities Absolutely the finest entertainment on the seas. I was amazed at what the dancers and performers could do, let alone with the rocky waters! A show like Cirque de Soleil on a cruise ship? Who would have thought it! The variety and quality of entertainment was wonderful. I also have to say the activities offered were a lot of fun. My favorite was the Thriller Flash Mob! Jamie and Shawna were great dance and zombie teachers. Rawr! 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
