Review summary

This cruise exceeded our expectations and I can't wait for the next one! There is very few that I would change. I hope to try all the dishes I missed and the shows and activities that we didn't see/do. There was too much to do and eat! This is a great problem to have. This really is a 5 star experience with a couple of tiny, nit-picky critiques.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was unbelievable. I was beyond impressed.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities were fun and relaxing. It was also nice watching other people compete in games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were the highest quality. Elements blew me away. I didn't love one performer but I think it was a matter of taste.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. They always went out of their way to make sure you got your question answered. Everyone smiled and said hello all day and night.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was very well maintained for the most part. My only complaint would be the public restrooms. Sometimes they were out of soap or towels. Also the design of the doors was confusing. You never knew if they were occupied unless you turned the handles. Also some handles were wonky because they were confusing to open and some people have gorilla hands. And the automatic restrooms were very tricky to operate.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I didn't mind the porthole or partially obstructed view at all. It worked for us. Plenty of storage. I wish the closet was easier to get to and not right up against the bed. Also I wish I had brought some magnet hooks because there wasn't anywhere to hang anything and there was no air circulation in the shower. I did really like the bathroom and shower design. I wish I could've given this a 5 because it was so comfortable (bed, pillows) and had a great layout. Perfect for a couple.

Ship tip

I would say just do a little research because some things are not readily apparent - like the complimentary breakfast areas and the kind of hidden pizza area. If you're not a dining room person, I would strongly suggest attending at least one dinner in one of them.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

3 out of 5

St. John's, Antigua Did not visit port

We did try to do some shopping but there was a torrential downpour so we couldn't really explore.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Painless. I highly recommend walk-off if you can manage it.

Celebrity is a first class cruise line. Out of our 10 cruises we have only been on 3 Celebrity but they are fantastic.
