We don't need to do any more Caribbean cruises. We will stick to destination cruises in the future. We have been most places around the world except for Amazon, Galapogas, Greenland, and Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. I would do another Celebrity cruise to those places if the price is comparable to Holland America.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
While the traffic was heavy, we were able to park close to the ship, just beyond the aft of the Aoex. Boarding was fast and efficient despite not showing up at our designated time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food better than on Holland America. Speciality restaurants were pricey but very good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No organized bridge as on Holland America. Pickleball was not organized well. We expected private pool and hottubs with Aqua class. That wasn't the case. Had to use public areas. Aqua class only included heated ceramic lounge chairs and several sauna type roons.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Except fir a lousy comedian, the shows were spectacular. Didn't miss any.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Hardly saw cabin steward. Never got to arrange for daily ice. Had to call each time. Never explained how to open window and blinds. Didn't figure it out until talking with other passengers on 2nd day.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very glamorous and modern with interesting displays and corridor decor.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
We expected a balcony in this class. It was one room with a full length and width windiw that opened. Not the same. Room had very little closet soace.
Ship tip
It is worth a try. Very glamorous ship with top notch entertainment and food. We will probably stick with Holland America. Better value. Shows not as good but lounge performers were better.
