Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celebrity Equinox
We really enjoyed our cruise on the Celebrity Equinox and found the overall standard of the ship was excellent. We chose the itinerary because we wanted to visit places we had never been to before. We had an aft, sunset view balcony cabin with the premium drinks package which we found to suit our needs well. We mostly ate in the Silhouette Dining Room and our waiting team, Andreas, Miness and Novia were very attentive and welcoming. We love the Martini bar which was our favourite evening bar. The only small criticism is that passengers were often admitted to the theatre, up to 20 minutes late - this should be restricted by informing passengers it’s unacceptable and disrespectful to both other passengers and the performers they should be made to wait for the later show or sit at the back of the theatre.
Can only say that the ship is looking tired and in need of some TLC. Our cabin in particular. Whilst clean the balcony had rust and the varnished areas were flaking. Generally the public areas needed a little attention to detail. On a positive note the crew were all fantastic and friendly. Entertainment was ok, the ship had two resident bands, but they could of been cloned, playing the same music styles. Buffet food was pretty good. As for the main restaurant we were a little disappointed. Why when you have the set starters including a salad and a soup do you then put a salad and soup on the other menu? This is the same on the entrees meaning choice is somewhat limited.
Fantastic itinerary, however whilst only ever cruising celebrity and still will do, concierge class was not worth the extra. However food, and dining service were excellent.
A lovely ship. Smooth embarkation and disembarkation. Efficient and hardworking friendly staff . Food quality and choice was excellent. A varied selection of areas to relax.
