Review summary

Lovely cruise line, will never sail Carnival again! There is another side to life on Celebrity!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Amazing.... even though we had a time frame of 12:00 to 12:30 they allowed us in early and wanted to get us on board asap! We were all set to just wait until our time slot, but Celebrity said "No way, let's get you on board"!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin did not feel small with the veranda deck! You have to experience yourself to get the true affect! Bathroom was roomy, shower was very easy to get into and out of, and you did not feel like you were in a coffin taking a shower! The veranda deck was a sight to behold. You can push a button to bring down the window to make it a balcony open to the air, push a button to shut the window. Push another button to bring down a blackout shade which allowed you to sleep in if you would like! The app also can take care of dimming the lights, turning on and off the tv, opening the window or closing the shade right on your phone!

Ship tip

Wonderful seating areas, the Coffee bar was the best on deck 4!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Been to San Juan before so we just got off and walked around a bit near the port.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Tortola was ok, the beach was way too rough to actually enjoy the ocean.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Been to St. Kitts as well so we did not get off the ship.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized, not chaotic at all!
