We did this transAtlantic repositioning cruise on the Celebrity Equinox in April of this year. IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!! If our land tour plans weren't set we would have continued on when the ship left Rome and headed to Greece and Turkey. As noted previously, the 2013 cruise ends in Barcelona.
The Atlantic was like glass all the way. We did run into 2 squall lines which the captain neatly avoided. One evening ladies were encouraged not to wear heels. You should be aware that there are 3 formal nights on this cruise. We travelled light and I didn't have a jacket but was loaned one for dinner in the main dining room.
Go for the balcony which is well worth the extra money.
The ship was very clean, staff was attentive, food was excellent, entertainment was fun, and the frosted martini bar was awesome.
We didn't have a spare minute with all the speakers - a celebrity chef doing demonstrations, the former head of the Kennedy Space Center, Olympic champion Frank Shorter talking about the then upcoming Olympics and his experiences, and others. Do the tours of the kitchens and the backstage entertainment areas.
You won't regret sailing on the Equinox.
