On board, the crew was efficient and pleasant and Shiela kept everything moving smoothly. The food, especially the fish preparations were very good. As our gusts were about 60 percent of the boats capacity, the boat felt spacious and everyone had a great time. Many guests, new to yacht parties, felt that it is a great option to celebrate any special event.

We were ready to get off the ship at Ensenada and fly back to LA next day. See photos. Raised concern and they kept referring me to Expedia and Expedia kept sending me back to them while ship had sailed. Eventually and after 6 hours, the finally agreed to change our room. Balcony rooms are similar to their Jr suits in look, size and floor plan. Do not let them lure you in paying extra for the same room. It cost me $300 extra and when I asked why I am paying extra for the same room, They said talk to Expedia. And Expedia said talk to Royal Caribbean. Seems like Expedia charged me for a Jr suit and booked a balcony room, pocketing the difference, OR, Royal Caribbean calls some of the balcony rooms a Jr suit so they can charge extra. Sunrise rooms may be better than sunset rooms as you get the view of Ensenada when you arrive. Food at the main dining is very mediocre. Other restaurants, good. Main area and the ship in general, was good. We enjoyed the entertainments.

Sept. 6-9, 2019 - Beautiful newly renovated ship. We were celebrating a two-year anniversary and my…read moreboyfriend surprised me with a junior suite on Deck 11. It was at the very front of the ship with a ridiculously large balcony. The ship left out of Miami. The port is absolutely beautiful. It looks like an airport terminal but even nicer. The check-in process was super easy. The keys were already at the door of the suite. Deck 11 is the place to be. It is right on the pool deck by the Solarium (adult area) and the Windjammer, the food buffet restaurant. There aren't many rooms on that deck but, if you can get the room on that deck, get it! (Also, they have onboard credit if you book a suite) We had champagne waiting in the room to celebrate. Our steward, John, was amazing. Super friendly and made sure we had ice on our bucket at all times since it is done as requested. We went to the Diamond Lounge to get some cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before dinner at the dining room. Dinner was lovely. We only went that night. This is where the A-OK, 3 star rating comes in. We went to the gym and it was half the size if not smaller than it used to be. It was so uncomfortable. The ceilings are very low, you could not do a pull up. I asked one of the fitness attendants if this was temporary until the final renovation and he said, No, this is it. THIS IS IT!!!!!!????? It was extremely disappointing to say the least. The ship went to Cococay, their private island and Nassau, Bahamas. They did an incredible job with Cococay. It is nothing like you have ever seen. They have the tallest waterslide in North America and a huge waterpark. They have the Oasis Beach, it's a Vegas-style pool with DJ and a bar inside the pool. They also have a cove and beach to relax and many water activities. There are plenty of bars and three areas for food buffet-style. That evening, we went to New England style seafood restaurant called Hooked. The food was excellent, 5 Star dining. We ordered a bottle of wine to pair with our appetizers, crab cake and ceviche. I ordered the Lobster with crab meat. We ordered the lemon tart for dessert. They came by to sing a happy anniversary song as we blew out a candle. We walked around Deck 5, the promenade and hung out at the Bubbles bar. The last day, the ship was at Nassau, we decided to take full advantage of the balcony and just ordered room service. Ate out there and just sun-bathed. Once everyone left the ship at around 2:30pm, we went to the Pool area and got in the Jacuzzi. That evening we walked around the ship and ate at the Windjammer. Overall: * Awesome room, really comfortable bed, huge balcony. * Terrible gym area. * Food quality was ok. Not many healthy options. Better in the specialty restaurant.

The Celebrity Equinox cruise ship is owned by Celebrity Cruises and first set sail in 2009…read more My husband and I have sailed on the Equinox at least a few times. A few years ago, we sailed on this ship to the Southern Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. In 2025, we sailed on this ship to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. We have been on many cruises with Celebrity, so I unfortunately forgot our other cruise locations for this ship. We usually get a veranda room, which has a balcony. Our rooms have always been in very good condition and been cleaned well by our hard-working and friendly attendants. Other classes of rooms include larger suites, ocean-view window rooms, and interior rooms. We nearly always skip the main dining rooms, and we instead eat either at the Oceanview Cafe buffet, Mast Grill, or the paid restaurants Tuscan Grille, Murano, Le Petit Chef at Qsine, and Sushi on Five. Other resturants include Blu for Aqua Class guests and Luminae for Retreat guests. Some bars and lounges are available. We really like the flavors of the foods and drinks. Sometimes I use the spa for massages, the fitness center, the theater for shows, the shops for shopping, the hot-glass studio, and the outdoor movie screen. We have not used the medical center, art gallery, photos, swimming pools, and basketball court. Of course, one of the best parts of cruising is the shore excursions, and Celebrity Equinox offers a decent variety of them.

We took a Western Carribean Cruise with stops in Aruba, Grand Cayman and Curacao. Although the…read moreship is about 15 years old, thought it was fine as it was refurbished in 2019. We boarded from the Port Everglades Terminal. Boarding was seamless and quick. Although we needed to show passports at initial Boarding, we just needed our Cruise ID card for the rest of the trip. We had two Veranda State rooms which were a good size each for two. Balcony with a view was nice. Enjoyed the amenities with a comprehensive fitness room with sauna (steam room available at a cost and part of a Spa offer). Spa offer-Swedish massage was enjoyed by one in our party. A good variety of entertainment which we enjoyed-Comedian, Singer Impressionist, Musicals, Pianist to name a few. If you see a show, singer etc. you want to see, best to attend early as they might not be performing for the entire cruise. A couple of pools and plenty of Hot Tubs throughout although no water parks. This is more of an adult ship. Food overall was excellent. We stuck with the main dining rooms and had the 3 course dinner most of the evenings. Overall, great selection with Prime Rib, Lobster Tail, etc. although the last evening was a disappointment from a selection perspective. (They usually go all out) For the itinerary, we liked that we had two days in Aruba (which was a first). That said, we had 5 days at sea and 4 Port days. Would have been good to have one more Port day-maybe a stop in Jamaica? The daily activities video updates from the Cruise Director and Manager were a nice touch. They take service seriously and we had a great experience from Housekeeping to Dining, Spa and Bar areas. Overall, a step up from Royal Carribean as Celebrity is the luxury arm of RCL. would recommend Celebrity Equinox and look forward to our next trip!

We had so much fun! The staff was incredible. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Roberto who took care of our room and helped us was so kind and attentive and quick to help. Faith who often worked the ice cream station in the buffet area was sooo sweet. Her Smile and energy lights up the whole room. She was very friendly and personable. Antonia who I met on the pool deck as she was mopping Was very kind and a hard worker. I started Conversation with her and It was great getting to know her. Tamia who worked in the spa was very lovely. When she saw me, her face lit up and she pointed to her gap in her teeth and from then on we connected. I also have a gap in my two front teeth and so she was connecting with me on that and it just felt very wholesome. I truly loved getting to see each of these individuals every day. There were other staff members that were absolutely incredible as well, and I was just unable to catch their names and make good conversation with them. these individuals for sure deserve a raise. They worked so hard and really just made the experience so amazing. Everything was so smooth. I was kind of concerned about figure out where to go for our excursion one day and there was just no reason for me to worry at all because they just helped with every detail. They put a card in our room that told us exactly what to do and it was so smooth. The food was also absolutely delicious. They blew me away with the buffet. I did not know exactly what to expect but there were so many was almost overwhelming. There's lots to choose from! The shows that we got to go to, like the comedian, the magician and the and show. They were all really good and everyone was so talented. there really was so much to do on the ship! So many shops and things to look at. The views were incredible. I also really morning stretch class on the top deck. It was so refreshing so cool to be on a boat doing a fitness class and looking out and seeing the ocean. I could say many more good things about this cruise, but I will stop here.:)

Now because it was so hot I only stayed a few hours, but enjoyed the pics band they had which I have video of them added to this review. Bimini was cool I've been a few times before so I just went into town to grab a couple of drinks and grab a few souvenirs. Now this was my first Celebrity Cruise and I would say I would give them another try especially for a solo cruise. This cruise line is more of a chill vibe with several things to do during the day and night up until a point. After about 11pm not much is going on so if you looking for a full on "party ship" might not be up your alley. I was on a solo group cruise for 5 days/4 nights which I wish were at least another day. I had a great time, but will definitely try another boat and longer cruise so I will do more than I did. As 4-days is such a short amount of time. This is a great start for reflection and I would not be cheap and go ahead and get the premium drink package (if you a drinker) and at least try 2 at the minimum speciality restaurants because it is well worth it. I got the unlimited speciality package so I tried 4 of the restaurants and was not disappointed! Sometimes you have to splurge on yourself and I'm so glad I did on my first Celebrity cruise.

The staff here was insane in terms of being friendly, attentive and downright pleasant to interact with. The steward for the room greeted us on embarkment day and was always in the hall with a smile when we would be walking around. He even asked what time he should come to make our room each day! The main dining hall was gorgeous and the giant chandelier in the center was so pretty to look at! Each evening was different food to choose from and I got everything that I can't normally get on an average day. I got escargot and that was some of the best I had! The portions were a bit small but I ordered a couple appetizers and dishes each night to make sure I was full! Everything was fresh and flavorful. Our waiter even did magic tricks for our table each night because he knew some card tricks! The ship is spaced out nicely and the atrium area was stunning, with many food and drink options right in the center so I was never too far away from anything when I wanted a nibble or drink throughout the day! The ice rink was awesome to skate on and the shows the ship had to offer were all out of this world! One of my favorite ships I have been on for sure!

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Magical Moments Yacht Rental in Miami for my…read morebirthday. I initially booked a 50-foot boat leaving from Bayside, but a day before, the broker informed me the boat was unavailable due to a part issue. She offered a boat of the same size but leaving from a different marina. However, on the day of, we ended up with a 40-foot boat, departing from the Miami River, for the same price. The boat was supposed to arrive at 3 PM but didn't show up until 4:30-4:45 PM, drastically reducing our rental time. When we finally boarded, the captain tried to charge us nearly triple the balance due, leading to a back-and-forth between him and the broker. We were also given no choice in selecting the captain and were told to pretend we had chosen him via text. Leaving from the Miami River was a nightmare. It took an hour and 20 minutes just to reach open sea, during which we couldn't play music due to the residential area. Our six-hour rental was reduced by nearly three hours due to this. We were promised a landing on an island to mingle with other boats, but instead, we docked in the middle of the ocean with nothing to do but hang out on a water mat behind the boat. The entire experience was frustrating and ruined my birthday. The broker later apologized and offered a four-hour rental with 10 guests as compensation. Despite following up repeatedly, she eventually said the offer was only valid on weekdays, making it impossible for us due to work schedules. It was extremely disappointing to see on their social media channels that the boat we were supposed to have actually departed that same day at the same time it was scheduled for us, which makes me wonder what ended up happening. I will never use this company again. They failed to deliver on their promises, provided no compensation for the size difference in the boat, and caused a lot of unnecessary stress and disappointment. My guests and I were extremely dissatisfied with the service, and I wouldn't recommend Magical Moments Yacht Rental in Miami to anyone. Tuve una experiencia increíblemente decepcionante con Magical Moments Yacht Rental en Miami para mi cumpleaños. Inicialmente reservé un barco de 50 pies que salía de Bayside, pero un día antes, la corredora me informó que el barco no estaba disponible debido a un problema con una pieza. Ella ofreció un barco del mismo tamaño pero saliendo de una marina diferente. Sin embargo, el día del evento, terminamos con un barco de 40 pies, saliendo del río Miami, por el mismo precio. Se suponía que el barco llegaría a las 3 PM, pero no apareció hasta las 4:30-4:45 PM, reduciendo drásticamente nuestro tiempo de alquiler. Cuando finalmente abordamos, el capitán intentó cobrarnos casi el triple del saldo adeudado, lo que llevó a una discusión entre él y la corredora. Tampoco nos dieron la opción de elegir al capitán y nos dijeron que pretendamos que lo habíamos elegido por mensaje de texto. Salir del río Miami fue una pesadilla. Nos tomó una hora y 20 minutos llegar al mar abierto, durante los cuales no pudimos poner música debido a la zona residencial. Nuestro alquiler de seis horas se redujo casi tres horas debido a esto. Nos prometieron un desembarco en una isla para mezclarnos con otros barcos, pero en su lugar, nos estacionamos en medio del océano sin nada que hacer más que quedarnos en una alfombra de agua detrás del barco. Toda la experiencia fue frustrante y arruinó mi cumpleaños. La corredora luego se disculpó y ofreció un alquiler de cuatro horas con 10 invitados como compensación. A pesar de hacer un seguimiento repetidamente, ella finalmente dijo que la oferta solo era válida entre semana, lo que nos hacía imposible aceptarla debido a nuestros horarios de trabajo. Fue extremadamente decepcionante ver en sus canales de redes sociales que el barco que se suponía íbamos a tener en realidad salió ese mismo día a la misma hora que estaba programado para nosotros, lo cual me hace preguntarme qué fue lo que realmente sucedió. Nunca volveré a usar esta compañía. No cumplieron sus promesas, no ofrecieron compensación por la diferencia de tamaño del barco y causaron mucho estrés y decepción innecesarios. Mis invitados y yo estuvimos extremadamente insatisfechos con el servicio, y no recomendaría Magical Moments Yacht Rental en Miami a nadie.
