Celebrity Equinox Cruise: December 14-21 PART TWO

Returning to a more pleasant subject, this was our cabin on the Celebrity Equionx. I wouldn't call it spacious but it was more than comfortable for the seven day cruise. We did have a fully stocked minibar refrigerator with seven dollar candy bars and five dollar can sodas. Neither my wife nor I ever considered touching any of those items. Especially since room service would have been "free" except for whatever tip we gave the waiter. 

The bathroom was enormous compared to what the Disney cruise ships offered. The one caveat to that statement was that Disney Cruise ships have TWO small bathrooms in their cabins. The logic being someone could be getting dressed in one while the other would be used for it usual purpose.  

Our veranda was awesome giving us a great view of the ocean.

Way back in 2000, my family and I did a cruise on what was then call "The Big Red Boat." That cruise line went bankrupt and out of business around 2002 but the casino aboard it was my only encounter with that level of gambling. The Disney ships don't have a casino and it was something I was quite grateful. The Big Red Boat's casino was a seedy place whose clientele I honestly found creepy. While I didn't gamble on the Equinox, I was surprised to find its casino a clean and well maintained place free of individuals that tried to look like third-rate Bond villains. Truth be told, the casino never was crowded for the entire cruise.

I did sort of laugh when I saw these slot machines. Back when Linda Carter played Wonder Woman on television I would have never imagined seeing her image on one-armed bandits.   

Instructions on how to launch the lifeboats. Several years ago a cruise ship began sinking in the Indian Ocean with the crew being the first to abandon ship leaving passengers to fend for themselves. The news reports did say the passengers were able to get themselves off the ship. So this is why I search out these instructions on every cruise. Not saying teh crew on Disney nor Celebrity ships would do anything unprofessional, but it's better to be prepared than surprised. 

They had a sort of art museum on board with a few dozen paintings hanging in one of the common areas. Wanted to take pictures of them all but my wife said that would be uncool.  

The outside pool area on my early morning walk. That morning we were a few hours away from docking at Key West.
What can I say about Key West that hasn't already been written by better men. It's tacky, spoiled, and overrun by tourists searching for a replacement for their lost shaker of salt or a flip flop repair shop. But I love the place even though I've never spent one night there. Making matters even worse, my wife and I did the trolley tour just like millions of other human locusts that have plagued that paradise over the decades. More pictures to come soon, that is if the Orange Buffoon has not started WW3.

Sounds like you enjoyed the trip. The cruise I most enjoyed was from Europe to the US, with stops up north, on Holland America. While occasionally I took a short cut through the casino, I saw few people there. But people did attend the lectures on our stops (Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, etc). In fact, for a few lectures, I found myself sitting in the aisle, as the seats were all taken.

Sounds fun! I'd love to go to the Keys. Sadly, the only time I've been to Florida at all was a high school band trip to Orlando. It was fun but I know the state has a lot more to offer.

Your cabin looks a lot like ours did. We did love that balcony. I have no idea what our ship looked like early in the morning. Ha!

I hope to get to see a lot of photos of Key West in your next post!

We were there 10 years ago. I need to go back to visit the cemetery that supposedly has a gravestone that says, "I told you I was sick."
