Celebrity Equinox Cruises Reviews

Thanks for your comment. We are looking forward to our cruise next Feb. It sounds like the location of cabin 1630 is good and quiet since the suites are above opposed to the pool area and gym. Just curious as to how far the cabin is from the stairway or elevator? Looking forward to using the Persian Gardens and Relaxation Room.

Now that you come to mention it I do remember an ammonia smell in the corridors when we took our cruise on the equinox last October. But frankly I'm amazed that this seems to be such a big deal for people - how much time did you spend in the corridors during the cruise? A few minutes every day maybe? And staterooms and public areas unaffected. So in what way does this constitute a serious problem? We found the ship simply amazing - easily as good as Cunard liners - a lot better than Queen Victoria in fact. There are going to be niggles on every ship, but this simply isn't worth worrying about.

We have to agree - we were on the same cruise. We had a brilliant holiday - we couldn\'t fault anything about the ship (apart from the weird smell). The ship was beautiful, the food was excellant, lovely appointed staterooms and very friendly staff. I have to say I noticed the musty/damp/urine? smell whenever we boarded, it got stronger as we walked along the corridors to our staterooms.....we were on deck 8. I was expecting the ship to still have that \'new\' smell as it\'s not even a year old yet. I must say our cabins were lovely and no smell. I think the smell must have been the topic of conversation most days! Certainly the people we spoke to. We booked a cruise on this ship about a year ago to visit the Holy Land in September with friends - so we\'re hoping the problem has been resolved by then........ we think the smell could be coming from the carpets, if so they need to renew them - quickly!!

As one of the original noses that were offended by the unpleasant odor, I have to agree that Celebrity are finding this a challenge to resolve. We sailed on Solstice not long after she commissioned and had no such problem and I would assume that the builders used exactly the same materials on both ships, as they will have on the Eclipse, so I hope that they have resolved the problem by the time we sail on her in the autumn.
