Review summary

We enjoyed the on board experience and is the reason we cruise.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Restaurants were better than expected; however, what has caused me to rethink taking another trip on Celebrity is the nickel and dime increase in liquor price and mini bar charges when you have a drink package. Plus I’m was charged for storing my insulin in the fridge.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the pool and SPA

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Danced a lot.

Children's Programs

At 81, my kids should be taking me. What a dumb question.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Except for our room steward, all staff we had contract with were exceptional. Especially our lead waitress would want above and beyond to satisfy my food requirements.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes and yes

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Lot smaller than expected and surprised no open air. Effectively it is a ocean view accommodation.

Ship tip

Check and double check what you are getting

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Took a bus tour which was way too long and boring.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

1 out of 5
No one told us that you need to take a water taxi to get to Philipsburg. The excursion person lead me to believe the bus tour would get us there. The tour was highly disappointing.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Did not visit port

Been there too many times.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

After our two previous encounters, No way were we getting off.

Disembarkation
