Celebrity Equinox

The main pool deck has two pools and four hot tubs, with loungers facing the water, the shade and the sea. A dance floor hosts sail-away bands, silent discos and dance parties, and the Mast Grill serves burgers, hot dogs and fries. Under its glass roof, the Solarium has a pool big enough for laps, two hot tubs and a water feature. The Spa Café there serves light, spa-style bites and a juice bar.

The Lawn Club is covered in real grass, a Solstice Series first that guests loved so much Celebrity kept it on every sister. It hosts movies, shows and lawn games, and cabanas can be rented for a picnic or a quiet day. Hollywood Hot Glass gives glassblowing demonstrations in the middle. Aft, the Sunset Bar has newly expanded seating with rockers, loungers and tables, and the Whiskey House at the Lawn Club offers tastings.

The Retreat is Celebrity's suite-only experience, added to Equinox in 2019. The Retreat Sundeck, up top and forward, has loungers in sun and shade, daybeds and drink service. The Retreat Lounge has a concierge at the entrance, a bar, continental breakfast, light bites through the day and appetizers in the evening. Luminae serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for suite guests, with Retreat hosts and butlers looking after everything.

The Oceanview Café is the casual buffet, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has made-to-order pizza (served later into the evening), a pasta bar, a carving station, an Indian station, sandwiches and a big dessert spread. Breakfast brings a made-to-order egg station, French toast, pancakes and bacon. A dedicated corner has no-sugar-added desserts and gluten-free options. A second coffee bar and complimentary drink stations sit close by.

All the way forward, the Sky Observation Lounge is a classic panoramic lounge with 270-degree views and floor-to-ceiling windows. During the day it's a calm spot for reading and scenic cruising, with plenty of natural light. In the evening it turns into a nightclub, with a full dance floor, a bandstand, booths and tables facing the sea. It's a great place to gather with friends and family.

The spa covers massages, facials, wraps, a full Medi-Spa, a salon and a barber shop. The relaxation room has forward-facing sea views. The thermal suite has heated, ergonomic stone loungers, a steam room, a sauna and experience showers. It's an extra cost unless you've booked AquaClass, which also includes Blu. Next door, the fitness center has cardio machines along the windows, Peloton bikes, free weights and an aerobics studio.

Equinox has four specialty restaurants, each an extra cost. Sushi on Five has a full sushi bar and other Japanese dishes. Murano is elegant French fine dining with tableside touches, plus a Chef's Table experience from Daniel Boulud. Tuscan Grille, all the way aft, combines an Italian kitchen and a steakhouse, with wraparound windows and an entrance that feels like a giant wine barrel. Le Petit Chef rounds out the list.

Craft Social, added in 2019, is a pub with a long list of craft beers, whiskey tastings, cozy nooks and TVs for the game. Its upgraded pub-style food is an extra cost. The Martini Bar & Crush is the fan favorite, with flair bartenders and an ice-topped bar. Nearby, the World Class Bar mixes cocktails with smoke and flair, and the Ensemble Lounge has live music before and after dinner.
