Celebrity Equinox First Impressions

We are on our first sailing with Celebrity Cruise Line and here are our first impressions while still on the ship! We'll go through several categories to give you a first-hand opinion from experienced cruisers--everything from embarkation to condition of the ship to food!!
In this time of ever-increasing competition and rising prices in the cruise industry, this video will help you determine if Celebrity Equinox is worth looking into for your next cruise.

    Thanks for the video, it's exactly what I was looking for. This will be our 6th cruise but first with Celebrity. Past cruises with RCL, NCL, and once on Disney. First was RCL 28 years ago and I felt like royalty, but last 3 in past 6 years not so much! We are 52 and 61 but feel like we are 30... so we enjoy partying into the late night (about 11pm) lololol. I'm going to check out your other videos about this cruise. Our cruise is 4/6/25 equinox/orlando

    We really enjoyed Celebrity and are cruising her again in August, going back to Alaska. Food and service were great. The only thing we miss is getting our RCL Diamond drink vouchers any time throughout the day. Celebrity relegates those to happy hour in the VIP Lounge. ☹️ #firstworldproblems

    Wonderful overview. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences mid-cruise. If you're still onboard, try Sushi on 5. It offers more than just Sushi and offers one of my favorite desserts which is a Gingerbread themed dessert and one of my favorite drinks, Agave Sunrise (the Mango Spiced Martini is also delicious)

    Good video. You really give a lot of useful information. One thing though is why is the ship constantly referred to as "older"? It's from 2009. What type of hotel or other product do we use that was built in 2009 is referred to as older? I think the cruise industry doesn't do itself a favor by making so many new ships so often. It's like people expect ships to be newer than they do resorts, hotels, and a lot of other hospitality venues.

  • @AllThingsWagner

    @AllThingsWagner

    5 ай бұрын

    Completely agree! I think ships get updated/refurbed less often than hotels simply due to the need for dry dock and loss of sailing time and revenue. That makes it more obvious when they’re “older”. Thanks for the comment!

    Hello Wagners! Jon and i are both smokers but we too applaud Celebrity for having a non smoking casino! I love it! We had an aft cabin on millennium and we were not fans of the vibrations in the morning when pulling into port. I asked jon if he put a quarter in the bed! 😂 I love the included Cafe al bacio! We have the Beyond booked for my birthday this year. Looking forward to sailing on one of their newer ships. Millennium is an old girl too. 😉

    We took Equinox to Southern Caribbean last April and were so very pleased. We took HAL Rotterdam in November to Aruba and hated it. Entertainment and food were both disappointing. We will stick with Celebrity for now. (you MUST try a new Celebrity ship, they are pretty nice as well!)
