Review summary

We traveled with a couple of our adult children and their significant others. We really enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with them while still having our own space. Food was great, entertainment was great, the cruise experience was great. Highly recommend Celebrity Cruises. We had such a great time on this cruise that we booked our next cruise while on board. Usually, we book a year and a half to two years out. Not this time! We have to go again soon.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and easy to embark. No issues, wait times were very short.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
As always, the main dining rooms and buffets were great. I'm impressed with the consistent quality of the food on board Celebrity ships. My favorite meal on the cruise was Teriyaki Duck Breast with shiitake mushrooms, rice, and bok choy! (Lunch in Cosmopolitan)

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Only participated in a couple of shipboard activities, a Captain's Club reception and a trivia contest. I enjoyed them both.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all of the entertainment we attended. All productions were well done. We especially enjoyed the stage productions with singers, dancers, and acrobats. The headliners were also very talented and presented a variety of different forms of entertainment: standup comedy, vocalist, illusionist, and multi-instrumentalist.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Buffets were generally good. Staff was friendly and helpful. We dined in Tuscan, 8:30 pm seating, Table 235 We enjoyed dining room. Service was excellent. Richard, our waiter, was extremely personable and really connected well with our party. Jovanne was a bit more reserved but also did an excellent job. Nelson, the sommelier, made sure that we had what we needed for drinks. The dining room staff was great, and we never wanted for anything. My favorite meal on the cruise was Teriyaki Duck Breast with shiitake mushrooms, rice, and bok choy! (Lunch in Cosmopolitan) Gede, our stateroom attendant was attentive and made sure our space was neat and clean. He always helped us to get things that we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was the largest cruise ship on which we have sailed. It was easy to get to the places we wanted to go. Every area of the ship we were in was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The stateroom was clean, comfortable and spacious. I did not love the "Infinite Veranda." It did a several extra square feet of space to the cabin, but I prefer the traditional veranda.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had a reasonably early departure flight, so we did the walk-off disembarkation. The biggest issue was getting an elevator down two decks so we could disembark. We ended up dragging our suitcases down two flights of stairs to get to the proper deck. After we got to that deck, everything else was easy. Clearing customs was extremely easy.

When leaving……Take an elevator up and then you’re on ready to go down. I’m sorry is that cheating ? 😂 I speak from Beyond experience.
