Review summary

Staff and entertainment we're outstanding. Cleanliness of ship was outstanding. Staff needs to control children under the age of 18 unaccompanied by an adult. There need to be penalties for children out of control. Staff should be able to remove a child in a bar or late night comedy

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Children very disrespectful. Children in bars. children in late night comedy session. Parents were asked to remove children from late night comedy they would not. Children not accompanied by adults all over ship. Stairwells, elevators, hallways, running up and down hallways all times of the night. Children under the age of 18 should be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children under the age of 18 should not be in a bar. Children under the age of 18 should not be hearing filthy language in a bar which sex content. Parents should be held accountable at all times for the content and location of their child.

Outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Outstanding cleanliness. Children playing jokes down hallway stating rooms not needing cleaned put outside rooms during the night so they were not cleaned in the morning. Children out of control. Made it impossible for staff to do their job.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Window was filthy but outstanding View

Ship tip

Kid-friendly major kid friendly not for elderly adults needing a relaxed vacation or use of the swimming pool or hot tub or feel comfortable in a bar with children or feel comfortable in a nightclub with children great. Parents should listen to instructions of the staff or be removed. Not honeymoon friendly.

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama

3 out of 5
Outstanding except for the comment of the man putting cars up against the fence in the morning. Stating that if I didn't listen to him he would take my wife on the cruise. Very unprofessional.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Yes did an Excursion to a private club outstanding. Go on an Excursion town is very poor.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Outstanding yes we did the dolphin Excursion it was outstanding. Wish we had more time to play.

5 out of 5

We were on Celebrity last May and there were less than 20 children on the whole ship. It was super quiet and relaxing!! Maybe give them a try for your next cruise.

I agree parents need to control their children. We try to cruise when they are in school. My husband walks with a cane and has come close to tripping with the children running in front of him.

What are they supposed to do, arrest the parents?
