Celebrity Equinox Deck Plan Changes – 2019 Refurbishment Review

The vessel entered drydock in May 2019 in Freeport, Bahamas. The USD 70 million upgrade was part of Celebrity Cruises’ fleetwide "Celebrity Revolution" renovation initiative.

Upgrades included the addition of new staterooms (including Sunset Suites), full cabin refurbishments (new furniture, RFID door locks with wristband/card access, Bluetooth connectivity), and the introduction of The Retreat Sundeck – an exclusive suite guest area (formerly Solstice Deck). The Oceanview Cafe (Deck 14) was also redesigned. All bathrooms received updates, along with new LED lighting, carpeting, drapes, linens, and artwork.

The Lawn Club was enhanced with 8 private Alcoves and a large outdoor LED movie screen. Sunset Bar received new features including shaded lounges, banquette seating, and hammocks. The shipwide Wi-Fi was upgraded to Xcelerate Internet. The Fitness Center was fitted with new Technogym cardio and strength equipment. Retail spaces were expanded with new boutiques such as What Goes Around Comes Around (authentic luxury vintage), TARBAY (Venezuelan jewelry), Lemlem (African-made apparel and accessories), Tao Company Jewelry by Vanessa Arcila (Colombian jewelry), Point B (destination-themed shop), Hublot (Swiss watches), and Shinola (watches, jewelry, leather goods).

Additional renovations included the Photo Gallery, Art Gallery, iLounge, Casino Lounge and Bar, Library, Solarium, Pool Deck (Deck 10), and all crew areas (cabins, gym, recreation, bar lounge, and laundry facilities).

The "Celebrity Revolution" program (USD 500 million fleetwide) applies to 9 ships and features:

• Full stateroom and public space renovations to align amenities and service with Edge-class ships. Designs were led by HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates, USA) and Kelly Hoppen (UK).
• All cabins upgraded with eXhale bedding (cashmere mattresses) and advanced tech (RFID locks, Bluetooth, Xcelerate Wi-Fi).
• Addition of "The Retreat" – an adults-only sundeck with full-size pool, two Jacuzzis, private cabanas, padded loungers, and poolside bar service.
• Redesign of Luminae (Suites-only restaurant) and new custom menus by Chef Cornelius Gallagher.
• New Qsine Restaurant featuring "Le Petit Chef" – a virtual dining experience created by Skullmapping and presented by TableMation Studios, exclusive to Celebrity Cruises.
• Redesigns of the Main Dining Room, Oceanview Cafe, Sunset Bar, and other public venues.

The Spa was expanded with a larger SEA Thermal Suite. Retail was further upgraded with premium brands including Hublot and Shinola.

Cruise Ship Internet – Xcelerate

Since 2016, Celebrity Equinox offers "Xcelerate" – high-speed satellite Internet available throughout the cruise, both at sea and in port. The technology enables stable VPN access, fast browsing, and HD streaming.

• Xcelerate supports music and HD video streaming (including YouTube, Netflix), photo uploads (including large files), and video calls (Facetime, Skype).
