OVERVIEW
Celebrity Equinox is the second ship in
Celebrity’s Solstice class of ships. (See
profile of sister ships Celebrity Solstice),
Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Silhouette, and
Celebrity Reflection). At 122,000 gross
tons, these are the largest ships in the
Celebrity fleet. However, the ships do not
feel overpowering like some large cruise
ships. Indeed, with a capacity of 2,850
passengers, Equinox carries fewer
passengers than many smaller ships. As a
result, there is more space per passenger.
The relaxed atmosphere on Equinox is not
entirely attributable to space ratios. Rather,
one gets the impression that each area of the
ship received serious attention from the
designers in order to generate such an
atmosphere. It is a contemporary design
which uses subtle lighting to give the ship an
upscale, sophisticated feel.
Equinox gives passengers plenty of options
in structuring their cruise vacation. In the
dining area for instance, guests can select
either traditional dining or flexible dining in
the main dining room. Alternatively, there
are three specialty restaurants with different
styles and cuisines. In addition to the main
buffet, there are an array of casual eateries.
Similarly, with regard to entertainment, there
is the main theater and a second more
intimate auditorium. However, shows,
activities and events take place in other
venues. Of course, there is also live music
in the various bars and lounges. The glass
blowing demonstrations are another unique
alternative.
Equinox attracts an educated prosperous
passenger. Celebrity seeks to meet their
expectations with a good quality enrichment
program, above average facilities and very
good service.
The Guest Relations Desk (above left) is on one side of the Grand Foyer while the Shore Excursions Desk
(above right) is on the other.
Celebrity Destinations, the future cruise sales office (below left), is on Deck Five. The Concierge and the Captain's
Club Representative have their desks in the Team Earth area on Deck Seven (below right).
A spectacular staircase arises from
the ship's lobby, the Grand Foyer
(above).
Rising up from the Grand Foyer
through the ship is an atrium (below)
Equinox has an extensive art collection. It is primarily
contemporary works that harmonize with the ship's overall
decor. The works are often thought-provoking. Several of the
pieces were previously displayed on Celebrity Galaxy, which
is no longer with the Celebrity fleet.
