Review summary

Other than our room experience, we felt our cruise was above and beyond. I believe we would be disappointed if we cruised other lines.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went perfectly when you consider the capacity is 3,950 guests! Couldn't have gone any smoother!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I would give a higher rating if I could!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was never a time that there was nothing to do!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We immensely enjoyed all but one of the shows (which was not aimed at the age group of the cruisers). Even the captain and cruise director entertained us!

Children's Programs

We did not have children on board; therefore, did not participate in these programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Personnel were above and beyond!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything right down to the restrooms were immaculate!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The only downer was our room which was at the rear of the ship with power washing equipment off our balcony. We were not notified that personnel would be entering our room to climb on the balcony furniture to get onto the power washing equipment that runs the entire length of the ship. We almost locked them out so had to leave access open for their return. Upon our return, the veranda was wet and the sliding glass doors were open, leaving the room very, very warm. I definitely would not recommend this particular room.

Ship tip

You won't be disappointed! It is a beautiful ship and strives for perfection in all aspects. I have never seen such interaction with the captain and cruise director! The food was above and beyond! We were with cruisers who have never been on a Celebrity ship. They may never return to other cruise lines again!!!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
The operation of the terminal was excellent!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We enjoyed our time in Puerto Rico and the bus tour around San Juan.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Beautiful island and beaches. We hired a taxi (4 of us) and toured the greater part of the island. One of our favorite islands!

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We enjoyed ourselves in St. Kitts. We took an excursion which included lunch. Surprisingly, the lunch was extremely good and well worth the trip!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once again, disembarkation was perfection!

That room situation would be terrible. There should be a warning and major discount with that room. I'm glad you still had a great time, though.
