We were on the Equinox April 13-20 and tendered to Cap Cana Marina in Punta Cana. We are glad we got to stop there - the Adventure Park was fun and one of the highlights of our trip!

The vegetarian pizza was absolutely delicious!

We just sailed on Equinox and it was our first cruise, so I have nothing to compare to, but I can't imagine a better breakfast selection than we had in the Oceanview Cafe. There was every type of breakfast food I can imagine, and many items I would never have expected to see at breakfast time. I especially enjoyed the omelet station and the carving station with canadian bacon. The only thing I found lacking was the cereal selection, but I managed to get my carb fix in other ways (most often the delicious croissants).

SHIP: Equinox

CABIN #: 6165

DECK #: 6

CLASS:

AREA:

BED NEAR: Balcony

BALCONY VIEW: Obstructed, could see straight out to water but not down. Would book this again as obstruction didn't bother us.

BALCONY SIZE: Standard

WIND A PROBLEM?: No

SOOT A PROBLEM?: No

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Lots of storage space, great bathroom, beds were comfortable

We just got off the Equinox. Didn't travel with a child so I'm not sure about the towel animals, but we overheard kids asking to go to the "Kids Club" and it sounded like they were having a great time. All the kids we encountered were fairly well behaved and seemed to be enjoying themselves. 

After reading your review about the Scape Park excursion I'm not sure what to do. We were looking forward to this but I'm wondering if we would be better off heading straight to the beach. Long lines and missing activities doesn't sound fun! I wonder if your experience is the norm or if there were extenuating circumstances that day.

Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!

Following, would like to see current soda prices...

So I had booked 2 excursions through Celebrity for an upcoming Alaska cruise.  They are both on sale now with the Spring Sale.  Any advice on the best way to get the savings?  The website is incredibly slow/unresponsive.  I'm currently waiting on hold on the phone - 17 minutes on hold so far!

I went on cruise planner and canceled the excursion then rebooked to get the savings. It was quick for me. I'm using Google Chrome. Good luck!

I saved $30 on an excursion! As far as I'm concerned every little bit counts! :)

Have a great time! Looking forward to hearing about your trip!

How much do you normally tip for room service?

Have a wonderful time! Looking forward to hearing more about your trip - we are cruising for the first time on Equinox in April!

Thank you all! Very helpful!

I'm sure this topic has been addressed but I'm having trouble finding it at the moment. I'm wondering which drinks are free on Celebrity. I know there is a charge for sodas, but what about juices at breakfast, etc. And how do you identify which drinks are free of charge? We are new to cruising so I don't know how this works. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Wish this was available on all ships!

I'd love to know as well!

We are first time cruisers and I'm loving all these tips! Thank you to all!

I got 20% off an excursion today. Canceled and rebooked to save $40 per person! 😄

This was not specified, but I plan to take soda in cans and plastic water bottles so I hope either is okay :)

I contacted Celebrity to confirm that you can bring soda and bottled water on board. The representative said you can bring as much as you can carry.
