Dining on Celebrity Cruises‘ Equinox is always delicious, but with all the choices, where to eat may give you pause. To help, we have compiled a quick guide to all the Celebrity Equinox restaurants. With five complimentary options, four specialty restaurants, and two exclusive restaurants, you won’t go hungry.

Be sure to make reservations for specialty restaurants in advance because they tend to fill up quickly. Take the chance to explore different dining venues throughout your cruise; after all, indulging in an eclectic range of cuisines is an important part of the cruising experience.

Our guide includes for each eating establishment: its location, food specialty, dress code, cover charge at this writing, and hours. Menus are samples and are subject to change.

Main Dining

Unlike Celebrity’s Edge-class ships, which have four small main dining rooms with their own specialty, Equinox goes the classic cruise-line route with a single expansive dining room with two seatings for dinner. Dining is complimentary, but there is a charge for ordering certain extra entrees (such as lobster).

Silhouette

Found on Decks 3 and 4, Silhouette is a breathtaking sight. White cloth-covered tables set with white tableware are surrounded by cream-colored club chairs with burgundy and cream seats, artfully arranged on a burgundy and cream carpet. The main dining area is on Deck 3 with a soaring ceiling, surrounded by a balcony on Deck 4 above.

• Location: Decks 3 and 4

Specialty Dining

Specialty dining restaurants have a cover charge per person. Another option is to purchase a Specialty Dining Package for three or more nights before the cruise, which gives you a small price break.

There are four specialty restaurants on Celebrity Solstice:

• Tuscan Grille
• Murano
• Le Petit Chef at Qsine
• Sushi on Five

Here is the Classics Menu from one of the main dining room menus. Unfortunately, it doesn’t list the classic desserts: Chocolate Cake, Creme Brulée, Apple Pie à la Mode, and ice cream.
