Review summary

Overall a nice vacation. Fantastic, personable and friendly staff throughout on a decent ship that was kept quite clean (though clearly a bit outdated). Grand Turk is a fabulous little island with a genuine Caribbean feel, superior waters and friendly locals. Thanks to the Celebration for a nice getaway!

- Stage shows were nicely done. Great costumes and obvious time put into a smooth delivery. - Steel drums were well delivered and a daily treat! - Comedy shows were fantastic. Would have preferred a bit more polished talent for other live music.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of our servers for food and beverage were outstanding! Room stewards were friendly and did a wonderful job keeping things tidy and clean (even hall ways - thank you!) Maintenance/general cleaning crews though not often seen did a wonderful job as well. Decks, common areas, halls, stairways etc were always very clean. The exception was the restrooms, though that can be attributed to the pigs using them and making a mess for others.
