Review summary

Embarkation

5 out of 5
45 minutes door to door

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The buffet was very minimal. Not the expansive selection like we are used to. However, with the other free onboard options and their popularity we understand why. Blue Iguana, Guys Burgers and Pig and Anchor were fantastic. Pizza was awesome!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were very small and not enough hot tubs. None in the main midship area. Fitness center was on the small side. The waterslides and play area were fantastic!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Celestial had three violinists that were amazing, however the singers and additional music drowned them out so much you couldn't hear their amazing talent. They needed solo acts.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Very accommodating and always available. A ton of activities/crafts to keep busy. Our 8yr old loved it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
William and Patoni table 323 were the best! Jose in room 11258 gave us everything we needed. Kudos to them!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Great layout. Loved the waterfront deck on 5. We loved our cabin location 11258 right outside the pool deck where the action is. Was not loud at all.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our location or our cabin 11258. Right outside the pool deck option. Never had to where a wet bathing suit in an elevator just to get from Lido to cabin. The legend on the ship map said wed have an upper pullman for our 8yr old but that was not the case. It was the sofa for him. Had to have it stay in bed format all week which was a bummer. No lounge place to sit that was not a bed.

Ship tip

Book a room on Deck 11 which is close to the pool action and night movies. Do laundry on port days not sea days. Not enough machines.
