Currently on the Celebrity Equinox

[Star Voyager]

Can not agree more with ILgirl, the service and friendliness of crew was above average. we were on Aug 8th sailing and had a great cruise.

Seems it has been awhile since the OP has been on Celebrity the midnight buffet has been gone for many years,  the grand buffet and free sushi  about 4-5 years ago &  big parades?   
 

It seems that the poster didn’t have a clear understanding of what AI included as they purchased a Stream Internet package  vs just upgrading the surf package.  That is unfortunate. 

I thought the same thing.  It has been years and years since they had a midnight buffet...probably since they opened the Oceanview and have food most anytime of the day or late night.  And have not seen a food parade maybe since Baked Alaska which again has been many years.  We have found the selection in the buffet more than adequate but maybe it has less now.  It is hard to change each station on a daily basis.  But thanks for sharing your thoughts since we are on in 3 weeks and can see if/how things have changed.

Sorry OP didn't care for the food.

 

Sailing Celebrity the first time this fall. Hopefully it's at least as good as Royal. 

Have been on NCL and Royal and thought both were good, Royal was better. Still better than the majority of land buffets and an AI in Mexico. 

 

What was a food parade? 🧐

(envisioning turkeys being rolled up and down the ship)

our cruise on Equinox was outstanding !!!!!!

[terrydtx]

I am currently in a Sky Suite on the Equinox and anyone reading the OP whose cons were mostly the food need to know food likes and dislikes are purely subjective.  Our dinner last night was fantastic in Luminae, our filets were cooked perfect and one of the best I have had in any land restaurant in fact I would rate it up with Ruth Chris or Perry's in taste, tenderness and presentation. We will be dinning tonight in Murano and we are expecting a great meal.

Cruise Critic People

 

I’m currently on the Celebrity Equinox day 10 of a 12 day southern Caribbean cruise. We did Aruba yesterday and will be doing Curacao today and then two days at sea back at Fort Lauderdale. I will now give you the Pro’s and Con’s of this cruise. Just to let you know I’ve done 14 cruises (about 1 a year) of which 10 were with Celebrity. I’m currently on the 11^th floor in AquaClass.

PRO’s

1.    Getting on the ship – Much faster. I had a 2:30 get on and got to the dock at 1pm. I was on the ship before 1:25.

2.   Staff is as exceptionally friendly. Really not much different than before.

3.   The ship is very very clean. Even more so due to covid. You can see them at all hours of the day and night deep cleaning and sanitizing.

4.   You can never get rid of chair hogs at the pool, but due to the population on this ship around half; the pool and pool chairs are much more readily accessible.

5.   Ship is designed for cell phone usage. You will need your cell phone so that you can make appointments for dinner or the spa. Much more convenient and quicker. Yes you can still do it the old way too.

6.   Room TV’s now compatible for USB. Yes, I’m a TV addict and will often bring a jump drive full of movies or TV shows that I want to binge watch. Now you can plug right into the USB port of the TV and get a directory of your movies. It appears only AVI movies work. MKZ does not work. Also, I have been known to bring my own TV remote, but didn’t really need it this time. My TV is a Samsung model HG43NF690GFXZA. I brought a 256 gb jump drive full of movies.

7.   Room steward is fantastic! Aren’t they always! Great room steward.

8.   Evening entertainment has been very good. Notice I didn’t say excellent?! Think of a very cheap casino on the Vegas Strip. That is how the entertainment is.  

9.   Internet speed. You have your choice of slow and fast. I can only comment on the fast. Price was around $399, but if you are Elite you get 30% off which brought the price down to around $240 for one user. Yes, only one user, but can be switched from one device to another at no charge.

 

OK, now for the bad news.

 

CON’s

1.    Food quality and selection (even in the buffet) is terrible. Golden Corral or Denny’s quality at best. You will get sick of it quickly. Fruit under-ripe for the first few days. Same menus day after day. No midnight buffets, no big parades of food anymore either. I go on cruises for the food and now, what should be so simple, they ruined. Even at the fancy restaurants, they are just taking their regular food and just making it look fancy. I ordered Salmon Sushi rolls and the salmon inside the rolls was the same smoked salmon from breakfast. Really!

2.   Lack of bar attendants so you can’t order (All Inclusive) drinks. I had the AI and before shows no drink attendants. Up at the buffet no drink attendants, by the pool no drink attendants: most areas – no drink attendants. OK, if you look hard, sometimes you can find one. Often times I just gave up. Stop at one of the bars on the ship to get your drink before dinner or a show.

3.   Very difficult to tell what is covered on the regular drink package and the better one. I have the regular one. Much too often the bar attendant would tell me that there would be an upcharge for what I wanted like a strawberry slushee or something else. It’s not real clear what is included in each drink package. Keep in mind that you glass of wine will likely be part of your AI, but if you want to purchase the entire bottle, you only get 15% off the price of the bottle. So it pays to get drinks by the glass.

4.   Celebrity has set the schedules of all the restaurants, so that around lunch time you are forced to eat at Golden Corral on deck 14. They want everyone to eat there. Deck 14 is called Silhouette (buffet) and it is cheap slop.

5.   Stopping at the various islands and the ship won’t let you off (due to covid) – forcing us to book a Celebrity tour to get off the ship.

6.   Sushi use to be free every night. Now it is pay only. I use to love the sushi before dinner. Nope, not any more. Not only that, but the Sushi on 5 restaurant opens at 3pm. Can’t even have it for lunch anymore. The prices are like a high end sushi restaurant. The restaurant is normally empty.

7.   Qsine specialty restaurant at $55 / person – Quality and Quantity lacking. (I had to go up to the buffet after dinner to get more food. Small quantities do not always mean better!). On the other hand if you are traveling with an 8 year old and they want to see a 3D cartoon on their plate, then by all means go to this restaurant.

8.   Food quality is poor to mediocre. Steaks are tasteless or too tough. Things are overcooked or undercooked. Overall, there is nothing REALLY good at any time.

9.   If you paid extra for AquaClass and Persian Gardens – it is now by appointment only. They only book 8 people at a time. Even with the boat half full, appointments book up quick. My suggestion is to book all your days quickly.

10.               The hot tubs allow a maximum of only 3 people. Yes there are many Karen’s who monitor this and will not let you in if you try and put 4 people in the hot tub. Overall, AquaClass is not worth it any more. You don’t get all the benefits and the food in Blu is pretty much the same as in the main dining room.

11. Activities are minimal and often downright silly waste of time. If you like going to Trivia or playing silly games, then by all means go ahead. Most of their activities are a silly waste of time.

12.               When a show or activity is over, there is no control of allow people to leave without clustering together. In other words, no social distancing.

13.               They use the same rag to clean every table instead of using a new cloth or paper. I remember some restaurants where I live using a new clean paper towel for each table so as not to spread covid. Not here, they use the same rag from table to table.

14.               The Persian Garden sounds good on paper, but keep in mind with only two saunas, what happens when one sauna is down for repairs for two days or a group reserves all the good times? Not good.

15.               Passengers are supposed to wear masks when off the boat. Many did not and nobody said anything.

16.               Many of the tours like Aruba were more trying to sell us Aloa Vera than showing us the island.  

17.               Many of the on-ship activities now cost! Yes, going to the Deal or No Deal game show on the boat or some other activities now costs.

18.               Water – yes water! They are now serving water in aluminum cans instead of plastic water bottles. The water from the aluminum cans tastes “tinny”. I’ve been ordering more Coke and drinking less water due to this tinny taste.

 

SIDE NOTE 1: There is a router in each room. For those who are computer literate: They are Aruba brand routers, model AP-303H-US. If you slide the front up, you then have access to four RJ45 ports on the bottom and 1 more inside the router. I have not played with them yet, but might. They appear functional.

 

SIDE NOTE 2: You can use a Travelmate Titan (Google it if you don’t know what it is) to divide your internet among up to four users. A very handy device: Ex:  if you brought two laptops and two cell phones as I did and you want to connect them all at the same time? It works fine. Just keep in mind that if your speed is 400 mbps, when you connect four devices all using the Internet it divides it by 4, which means 100 mbps for each user. The speed of the Internet varies. In the middle of the night is the fastest speeds. Morning, Late afternoon or early evening is the busiest and consequently the slowest. Expect to see speeds change from 400 mbps to as slow as 0.50 mbps.

 

Hope some of the above helps you.

 

We just arrived home from this cruise and while I agree with SOME of what you're saying, I don't agree with all.  

 

Getting on the ship was simple.  We had a 12:30 to 1 check in.  Got there a little early with NO wait.  Staff exceptionally friendly and so glad that we/they were sailing again.  Ship was clean and a lot of cleaning going on.  

The SkyView Lounge was our favorite place on the ship.  Bigger than Viking Crown Lounge on Royal ships.

I thought that the food quality in the buffet was better than RCCL.  Golden Corral/Denny's quality....I don't think so. 

I did notice that there were no bar attendants at the evening shows...not sure why.  I didn't have a problem knowing what was covered or not with the drink package but I only ordered a couple of drinks multiple times.  HOWEVER, I was told that with our drink package that I could get a smoothie at the Spa Cafe....wrong.  

I missed not having a larger Centrum type space.

There was SO many places to sit on this ship.  Many in quiet areas.

Cafe al Bacio was wonderful.

Sushi on Five WAS open for lunch.  Perhaps not on every day but the day my husband and brothers went there (at 11:55 am) it was open.

We did notice that the meals in the dining room seemed to not be as good as we expected.  In fact, don't try the Crab Crusted Flounder, it was sent back.  We ate at the Oceanview Cafe more than once.  The Sirloin steak that is on the menu every nigh was excellent and had it more than once.

We found the entertainment in the theater to be great.  Comparable to RCCL.  Very talented people.

My biggest complaint was the internet.  I had the cheaper internet package and was VERY slow and I always have trouble getting the same answer from two people on these ships.  On this ship I was told that I could only check email and send messages via FB messaging.  I could NOT check FB, no calls thru messaging, etc..  If you ask a second person, you often get a different answer.  I found this to be true on Royal as well.  I have no clue WHY it isn't spelled out somewhere....the cans and cannots.  I chose to not take a chance and did only email and messaging.  

There were a LOT of people, in suits, in many places...especially the dining room and seemed to be overseeing everything going on.

 

Overall, just to be back on a cruise ship was wonderful.  Celebrity was good but not AS good as I have been led to believe.  Superior to Royal...I don't think so.  That said, if they sailed out of Port Canaveral or Tampa (which is closer to my home), I would certainly sail with them again if the price was right,  Ft. Lauderdale is just too far. 

 

Every person has different opinions and you should certainly consider giving Equinox a try.

I found it interesting.  Wondering if Sushi on 5 opening is 3pm on all ships?  And did not know about booking times at Persian Garden.

 

Sorry that OP didn't enjoy their experience.

Sushi on Five WAS open earlier.  Some of my family were there before Noon on 8/25.  Maybe this isn't the case ALL days, but it certainly was on this day.

Sushi on 5 is open every sea day of our cruise for lunch, we have a reservation for tomorrow at noon, a sea day. We are on the Equinox for 9 night with 4 sea days. If the OP had really been on the Equinox last cruise he would have known this. Only on some port days is it not open until 3pm.

Wonder what happened in 4 weeks? I was on in early August and I’m willing to say it was the best food I ever had on a cruise. 
 

I do agree the selection in the buffet is lacking and I wish there were some other options for lunch time but overall I can’t complain.

One other thing that I noticed on Equinox.....You are served by the staff and I'm fine with that, no problem at all.  My issue was that if you get a salad you have to pick up a bottle of salad dressing that hundreds of hands have been on in order to pour your own dressing onto your salad.  The same is true if you get waffles/pancakes.....your pour your own syrup.  Just curious as to why.

I hate the salad dressing carafes with the dressing dripping down the side!  It would be nicer if they could use individual reusable containers.

sounds like you are pretty hard to please!!!  I was on the ship 2 weeks ago and respectfully disagree with your opinions

I was onboard Aug 1 - 15. Had the free Zenith stream internet. Ran many speed tests. The fastest was about 4 mbps download. One day my phone had 11 app updates. Took 45 minutes !!! Took 5 hours to download a 2 hour movie on HBO Max. Fine for email but not for the advertised movie streaming. Just wait until the ship is at 100% occupancy.

I had no problem with the food quality. I did have a problem with the number of guests our waiter was required to wait on. Dinner started at 5:30 and people kept coming in until about 6:30. By 6:30 our waiter had at least 20 guests to wait on. Took 15-30 minutes just to take their order !!! Will be even worse when at full capacity !!!!

We’re you able to board in the suite line? Were you able to go to the Retreat? If you got the free streaming internet I assume you also got the free premium alcohol package? 

[Momma Rene]

I totally respect the original poster's remarks.  This poster "Just to let you know I’ve done 14 cruises (about 1 a year) of which 10 were with Celebrity. I’m currently on the 11^th floor in AquaClass."  

 

When you have sailed Celebrity before, you are in a good position to give Pros and Cons based upon past Celebrity experiences.

 

I am sailing on Celebrity in the Spring.  I am hopeful it is the same Celebrity in terms of food, entertainment, bars, etc.  I will be in the Celebrity Suite.  It is expensive, however, I am doing Celebrity because of my prior sailings.   I am researching postings to be sure that I am getting the Celebrity that I love.

Because someone didn't think it through by paying enough attention to detail, or maybe they're(RCL) just paying lip service. It does make a pretty weak link in the process. But the same goes for anything that is set out on a public table. It's pretty impossible to be completely in a bubble.

Why are so many people bashing the OP?  This is his/her OPINION on what was experienced. That is what this forum is for. What you like/love they may hate. What they like/love you may hate.  It is all subjective to their experience.

Agreement and some disagreement with some things as well as questions in some posts but nothing I personally see as bashing the OP.  Overall a very good summary of their cruise.  I like the lists of pros and cons. Whenever somebody brings up comments on food on a cruise here on CC then there will be a lot of responses positive and negative particularly from folks on the same cruise.  All normal.  Not bashing.
