Review summary

Although I didn't enjoy the food options overall it was a very nice cruise. The staff work hard and the ship itself is beautiful. Shout out to Gusti and Kate @ 820 bar. They kept everyone happy 😊

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was definitely the worst I've had on any ship, but the drinks definitely made up for it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Serenity pool was nice. Even though in my personal opinion the sunken lounge should have an umbrella or something that blocked the direct sun. No one sat there because it was extremely too hot, especially if drinking. The casino was a good time, along with Deal or No deal and Bingo

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The Center stage where the live shows were held needed a better architectural design. The concept was better than the layout, obviously. The seating was a mess. If you weren't sitting directly in front of the stage, you could forget about seeing. Performers were great. The little that I was able to see during rehearsals.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was wonderful. They work very hard to make sure you are having the best experience possible. Our room steward, Ansa was a delight. He kept our rooms clean and was always available for the extras that were needed.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was a decent size. We were in an Oceanview. The only complaint would be the small size of the bathroom.

Ship tip

Enjoy yourself. You spent the money so make as many memories as possible.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
No excursions. It was very hot and a long walk to the other side where the beach was. They do have a skylift, but if you're afraid of heights, that's not an option.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Mr Sanchos was definitely worth it. My 1st time there, and it exceeded my expectations. For $60 you got unlimited food and drinks. Great service and plenty loungers with an awesome DJ

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Also a long walk from ship to port. It was extremely hot on his day, and 3 ships were docked at the same time😞 We only stayed out about an hour. In order to get a lounge chair you had to purchase food or drinks. Very pricey.

Celebration food is awful. There might be a ton of options but 95% of the food is hot/not so hot garbage!

I'm thinking a hot weather destination may not have been your best choice. So many dining options on the Celebration its hard to believe that nothing was good.
