Review summary

A wonderful weekend away on a beautiful, well-run ship. It was our first time on Celebrity, but it definitely won’t be our last!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Everglades has a lot of work to do to catch up with other ports. Not enough employees were working to ensure passengers knew where to go or to complete initial screenings. We had to show boarding passes and passports three times before being allowed on board. It felt disorganized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was average, but the buffet was surprisingly good compared with other cruise lines’ offerings. We ate one night at The Lawn Club Grill, which was great for both food and atmosphere.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the adults-only solarium! Also enjoyed trivia and the game shows. The fitness center and spa were both great as well. Nothing was overly crowded, and everything ran smoothly.

Entertainment

We did other things this trip. It was a short cruise, so there wasn’t enough time to do everything.

Children's Programs

We don’t have children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly and professional. Our cabin steward Mark took care of everything we could have possibly needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved how clean everything was!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was a good size and easy to use from the perspective of someone with mobility challenges. Layout was perfect.

Ship tip

Eat at the Lawn Club Grill. It’s well worth the extra money.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Easy to get around. Plenty to see and do.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Loved it so much we plan to visit again on a longer trip. Lots of history and good food. We did the trolley tour and enjoyed it.

Bimini, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Not much to do aside from beach and water sports. The weather kept my husband from going on his snorkeling excursion, and we didn’t go to the beach resort since the excursion had sold out.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I could hardly believe it was the same port we left from. Getting off the ship was quick and easy with plenty of staff to direct us.
