This was our second Celebrity cruise. I absolutely love this cruise line. However, I would not recommend for families with children. It does not have all the extras for kids that other cruise lines have.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
My husband and I arrived about 1 hour early. We planned on sitting outside to await our boarding time. A staff member came by and instructed us to go ahead. Once inside, it was a breeze. They checked our app and our passports, and we were ready to go. The boarding had not started yet, so we had about a 10 minute wait. No problem. Went straight to our cabin and dropped off carry-on bag, picked up our cruise card and went to the buffet for lunch.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had breakfast and lunch at the buffet every day. There were several choices to choose from. Vegan, non dairy, and sugar-free. It was all delicious.
We specified early dining for dinner. We could choose from any of the 4 main dining rooms. We went to a different one every night. There were several items on the menu to select from. First class food and service.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There was always something going on around the ship. Games at the pool, casino, music playing, movies on the garden deck, or just lounge and read.
On at sea days, there was interactive live trivia through the app. They had Deal or No Deal, which was a lot of fun. On the last day, my husband was randomly selected to be the player. He won $300! We play in the casino off and on. Won enough to keep playing. I was a winner on the last night.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I will start by saying the talent was excellent. However, 2 of the shows did not have good storyline. The Tree of Life had a lot of homosexual overtones. Several people left. The story was very difficult to follow. Crystallize was impossible to follow. Rockumentary was Awesome! We enjoyed it so much we went back to the second show that evening.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All the staff were helpful and friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us.
The bartenders at the Martini Bar put on a great show in the evening. One of the bartenders, Joebert, was great! Hope to see him on The Beyond in February.
Our room steward Laksana went over and beyond to cater to us. Great job!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is only a couple of years old. It is gorgeous! Spotless! After the first day we got around very well.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a large panoramic view cabin. It was fabulous! Huge window with automatic blinds.
At first, I didn't find the blow dryer. It's in a drawer right under the bathroom sink.
There is only 1 electric outlet by the bed. However, the room steward got us an extension cord.
We drove to the port, therefore, chose to carry our bags off ourselves. We won't do that again. There is a lot of walking and standing in line. Took about 1 hour to disembark. A little disorganization. Next time, we will set our bags out the night before. Had to try it. Not the cruise lines fault.
