We travelled on Celebrity Equinox for our Honeymoon. Our first impressions were far from satisfactory. Having arrived at Port Everglades we were extremely disappointed by how disorganised the embarcation process was. However, after nearly 4 hours waiting to board the ship our disappointment ended there. Our Aquaclass Cabin was spacious with all the amenities we could have hoped for. The bottle of champagne, fruit basket and canapes were a lovely welcoming touch. The shower was devine and the bed and pillows were so comfortable.
We dined at the Blu restaurant on the first night and were so impressed with the quality of food, choice of menu, wine list and attentive staff that we returned every single night. It was lovely that we could turn up any time without pre-booking and always have a table for 2 at our favourite waiters station. The most we waited to be seated one evening was 5 minutes. In hidesight we should have tried some of the other restaurants, but we were so happy with every aspect of Blu that we didn't want to risk going somewhere else.
The Ship was Spacious with plenty of activities for those who wanted to get involved, but equally there was plenty of space to avoid the crowds when we preferred to be on our own. We went to St Maarten, St Lucia, Barbados, St Kitts and St Thomas. Plenty of information was provided on each Island by either leaflets in our Stateroom or on the Port Guide TV channel.
Apart from my first comment re embarcation. We give the Celebrity Equinox 10 out 10. Every single member of the crew treated us like royality and no request was ever too much. The Ship was luxurious and food and drinks were devine.
We would recommend the Celebrity Equinox to any of our friends and we will certainly be returning!

I'm booked on the Equinox for next month... I'm super excited! Can't wait! I have done Celebrity Cruises 3 times before this, and personally, I think Celebrity is the BEST cruise line... Stay away from MSC!
