Dining on the Celebrity Equinox

Food presentation was beautiful for each and every plated dish we received.  All of the food was quite good and had good flavor.

Service was fantastic.  Each of our waiters was fantastic and the Sommelier had an amazing memory and appeared just as our glasses were near the empty level.  The bar staff also remembered orders from previous days and checked to be sure you wanted “caffeinated soda today because yesterday you ordered decaf”.

Breakfast was served in several locations.  We ate in the main dining room several times enjoying the Eggs Benedict & Omelettes and fantastic service.  The food at the breakfast buffet was fresh, hot and tasty.  The food at the Solarium Breakfast Buffet was also beautifully presented, well described and tasted good.

We ate in the Main Dining room for each dinner, we did not sample any of the specialty restaurants.  Items marked with an * are highly recommended by our unsophisticated palates.   Our meals included:

Room Service:
Because we were in a Concierge level room, our menu was extended
We ordered coffee to be delivered on 2 of our 3 days at sea
the room is called before delivery
Note: when filling out the form, you are asked how many people
your answer determines how many of each item is sent
so an answer of “2 people” and a request for a fruit plate
means you will receive 2 fruit plates (they are good)
The Strawberry Smoothie was fantastic
The fruit was very good — better than the buffet

Buffet:
Very nice buffet with lots of variety
Kept clean and well stocked
Ice Cream served at specific times of the day – not self-serve
Pizzas & Pastas are made fresh to order late at night

Appetizers:
Shrimp Cocktail, Blueberry Soup, *Mushroom Soup,
Caesar Salad, Butternut Squash Soup, French Onion Soup

Entrees:
Grilled Chicken
Ravioli – unimpressive but the Parmesan cheese adds lots of flavor
Prime Rib – very good, tender and juicy
*Jerk Chicken – fabulous, very flavorful
New York Sirloin Steak  – cooked as requested but served warm
Shrimp Scampi – very good
Salmon – very good

Desserts:
