Frenchkona Posted June 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2023 My family just returned from an 8 day Eastern Carribean cruise aboard the Equinox. We were in a Royal Suite, and I would be glad to answer any questions regarding Retreat class, specialty restaurants, shows, or any other info you would like. I have to say this was the very best cruise we have taken on Celebrity. Let me know if I can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted June 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Does equinox have starlink internet yet? If so, did you have it, and what was your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchkona Posted June 19, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes, it does and is fantastic. My 17 year old grandson was concerned that it would be slow, but he said it was great. He could stream videos and had no problem with its speed. And we had 6 different devises that used it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Love Posted June 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Frenchkona, we also were on this cruise and simply chiming in agreement with your comments about what a wonderful cruise this was overall! We found that service on this cruise was some of the best that we have experienced on any of our X sailings (we were Deck 8 mid-ship).

Good to know. We have premium wifi for an October cruise, but I'm nervous and might try to bring something that doesn't require wifi just in case. One more question if I may. We typically sail Princess, but this will be our second Celebrity cruise. We were on Infinity last fall, and the TV was terrible. Small tv, with only a few channels and no on demand options. Princess has lots of movies and TV shows you can watch on demand, which we take advantage of. Does Equinox have any such offerings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 19, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes, and EQ has the large TV's that you can hook up your devices to as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchkona Posted June 19, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Yes, TV programming has definitely improved. But we really watched very little TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunsetme Posted June 19, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I found the internet to be abysmal on that cruise July 10. Also Tv was limited and took several minutes to load each time. We did enjoy our cruise though and had great weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attyaz901 Posted June 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Thrilled to read a positive review! My husband and I are asking July 2nd in a Celebrity Suite. The comments on this board are pretty negative and I was starting to worry! How was Luminae? Specialty restaurants? Was the retreat deck enjoyable or too windy?

Frenchkona Posted June 19, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wha type of online program did you have. The premium internet was very fast with no problems. You could easily shift fro one devise to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchkona Posted June 19, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Luminae was simply fantastic. Fast, very accommodating service and h food was spot on. Great breakfasts to start the day. We ate twice at Tuscan, twice at Murano and 3 times at Sushi on 5. All were good, but Muano fills up very quickly. i loved the Retreat Deck. There was hardly anyone ever up there. Probably because There is no pool or bar up there. But you can still get drinks up there as well as food. Lots of great seating too. Great place to relax or read a book with a drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had slow service In Port but it improved While Underway? Overall it has been a great improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOLEYMOM Posted June 20, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Can you please tell me which port in St. Thomas you were at? Planning a pick up for our sailboat tour and want to make sure we give them the right spot! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this 8 day cruise in late May and loved it! We found the service everywhere to be the best we have had at sea! The service was outstanding in Luminae, the Retreat, Murano, and in all venues we visited. And our butler, Katerina, went above and beyond! Great entertainment as well. Have a lovely trip!
