Who will like sailing on Celebrity Equinox
If you love style, cutting-edge trends and luxury cruising at a portion of the price, then this is a good fit for you. Celebrity Cruises is popular with guests in their mid-50s. Keep in mind that they can cater to multigenerational cruise groups and families, especially those that want to enjoy upscale amenities at a great value.
Where Celebrity Equinox sails
Destinations: Celebrity Equinox sails in and around Europe and the Caribbean. The cruise ship features cruise itineraries that range from seven nights to 14. Some of the most popular countries that this ship visits include Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Top dining options
You'll find plenty of adventurous dining options on Celebrity Equinox. Although there are many places to enjoy good eats on board, be prepared to reserve some of your vacation budget to cover the surcharges at the specialty restaurants.
There are two complimentary dining venues on Celebrity Equinox: the Silhouette Dining Room and Oceanview Cafe, which is a buffet. Specialty restaurants, however, reign supreme. The good news is that there are many specialty dining experiences to be had; the bad news is that they will cost extra money. Note that if you book an AquaClass or suite, then access to another dining room, Blu, is complimentary as well.
The specialty restaurants have a cover charge and offer a unique dining experience. As such, try to make reservations in advance or purchase a specialty dining package prior to sailing.
