I agree with all of which has already been stated above....

Definitely don't miss:

 

A drink out at Lawn Club

Hot Glass Show

Martini Bar -- during the colonial show if possible provided they still have it (check out the glass elevators during the show -- if they still do it, you will know what I mean)

The contests in the casino

The indoor pool -- especially at night when the fountain is glowing

Persian Gardens --ah!! Those heated tile chairs are the best

Relaxation Lounge -- before and/or after your spa treatment or access for AQ

The French fries at the mast grill

The sandwich bar and stir fry station in the buffet

The French onion soup in the MDR

 

I know there are a million more things -- enjoy!!

Don't miss the Mast Grill! Fantastic hamburgers etc....its outside on the deck above the pool. Some people never know its there and miss out.

 

I have to agree, the MAST GRILL in deck 12 is amazing. They serve burgers (vegetarian too! - nice touch) and hot dogs and they are brilliant. Much better than the ones in the Oceanview cafe (buffet) on deck 14.

 

The cabinets above the bed is good for storage, we missed iron our first celebrity cruise in 2013, used it well in 2014.

 

Table tennis tables come out daily in the entertainment court till around 5 pm.

 

I personally LOVE the fruit punch, celebrity has the best choice of drinks.

 

I am sure you will have a fabulous time.

Hi,

 

* Molecular Bar

* Cafe al Bacio...not just for the coffees...but the pastries, especially first thing in the morning.

* Take the time to just explore (hard to get lost :D) and talk to the wonderful staff !!

 

Enjoy

Woody

Most important thing not to miss is the ship at sail away. :eek:

 

After that just explore and don't chase after other's favorites or things to do. We chased after a few don't miss and never found them to live up to be that special or great. . A few times after doing someone's raving don't miss, sure to do we looked at eachother and laughed saying "that was it?"

 

Cruise on. 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Actually enjoy it all. We just returned from a cruise on the EQ. Beautiful ship. Sky lounge is a great place to relax with outstanding views. Spring for dinner in Murano.

 

I have photos of the ship in my link below.

 

I sailed on the Reflection in March and booked Equinox Oct.2015 and really enjoyed your pictures of the beautiful ship.You really got great shots !!!

While an additional fee is charged for the specialty coffees and teas at the Cafe al Bacio, remember that the desserts and pastries are included in the basic cruise fare (i.e., no additional fee). The coconut cake (which available in the evenings at the Cafe al Bacio) was simply WONDERFUL.

The glass show is stupendous at night, gets hot during the day. Molecular Bar is worthy of a few visits (chocolate indulgence is amazing). Enjoy one of our favorite ships, walk around, the art is interesting

Most important is don't miss the ship otherwise all the other suggestions won't matter.

 

Try at least one of the speciality dining venues (we liked both Tuscan Grill and Murano but didn't try Silk Harvest) especially if you will be onboard Valentines's day and want a real memorable experience. Also, for only $5 per person upcharge don't miss the Bistro for breakfast or lunch. Outstanding. In fact, after you board instead of heading up to the Oceanview to fight the throngs in the buffet line, head instead to Bistro and make it your first meal on board. So much more relaxed.

Yep, coconut cake is great but the oatmeal cookies are wonderful too! All the desserts are free and they will package them to take away if you want!

LOVE the Corning glass show! Some people like it a time or two, some go every time and others not so much. Wait till you see how much they sell some of the creations for at the end of the cruise:eek: Better hope you win one!

We get cheese, crackers, fruit from buffet, glass of wine and picnic on lawn

Sushi from Buffett out on the room balcony before dinner

Hot glass show was really interesting and the last day you can win free pieces they made

Tuscan grill was delicious and great relaxing views

Waffles in the buffet

Balcony does not have a light, so we use a stick up light

 

Enjoy, we loved the Equinox!
