I’ve just spent the weekend on board the brand-new Celebrity Equinox, sailing in circles in the English Channel and eating and drinking far too much. Four food bloggers (Andrew from Spittoon, Douglas from Intoxicating Prose, Julie from A Slice of Cherry Pie and I) had been invited to eat at the Chef’s Table at Murano, the ship’s swankiest restaurant, and to gad about on a night’s preview cruise before the ship starts its formal cruise itinerary. (Update 29/07 – you’ll find a long review and more pictures of the ship here.)
As you can probably imagine, faced with only 24 hours on ship filled with bars, nightclubs, a vast number of restaurants, swimming pools, a spa, cocktail-making presentations, video game arcades, libraries, croquet lawns (!) and even a glass-blowing studio (more !), I have slept very little, and I still didn’t get to see everything. So I’m going to shut up now and leave you with some photos as an appetiser – more on the ship and its food coming up later this week.
Blimey! That looks like a brilliant day / night. Looking forward to the post following…
loving the photos.
Needless to say I didnt make breakfast – not after all that food and wine (plus cocktails!). Whose idea was it for crepes at midnight?
I think the midnight crepe is a tradition other places should pick up on. Nothing like a big slab of batter, butter and sugar to soak up all those cocktails!
Ah – we used to have a creperie (not a midnight one) in Cambridge, in the cricket pavilion where Mai Thai is now. It's sorely missed. Thankfully, some enterprising person has moved a creperie into the Arts Cinema here too, so we're not totally deprived.
Great pictures from a memorable stay aboard that floating hotel/theme park…
I’m headed through the med on that ship for 10 days. Already planning on eating at Moreno after your review….thanks. Did you also get a chance to eat at Silk Road or Blu?
