Review summary

We loved our cruise and love Celebrity. The service is outstanding, the ship, while smaller, was perfect for us.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
From curb to ship took us about 10 minutes. Very smooth and not crowded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was excellent. Bar service was excellent. Went to Tuscan Grille for Christmas Eve and paid well over what they normally charge, assuming there was a special menu. NOPE. Just there regular menu with a huge price increase. The food was great, but the service was awful. No water glasses refilled, we had to ask for wine refills, and no offer of coffee with desert. I've had better service at Chili's and payed 1/10th the price.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed some wine tastings and always participate in trivia. Not a fan of the Deal or No Deal which has replaced Bingo. Bring back the Bingo!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We only went to a few shows, but they were good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We frequented the Cellar Masters bar and the bartenders there were amazing. By night two they knew our names and what we were drinking. Fantastic wait staff. Our room steward was very quick to clean our room as soon as we left for breakfast. We always had a clean room!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is older, but well maintained and clean. Public restrooms were spotless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Out cabin was one of the most spacious concerige cabins we've ever had. We had empty drawers there was so much storage--and we brought three suitcases! It was clean and in good repair.

Ship tip

Don't miss out on the coconut macaroons at the Cafe al Bacio on deck 5! My favorite!

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

We went out to a nice dinner on our own. Caught a Uber from the port. Went to Cocina Abierta--made reservations a few weeks in advance. It was fantastic!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

We did the America's cup sailing excursion. This is not a luxury boat. No real comfortable seating, and you actually have to work. I enjoyed it!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

We caught a cab at the port and did some shopping for Larimar. We then at lunch at a local place recommended by our cab driver. We loved it. We walked back to the port.

Disembarkation

It went as smooth as it could have. Customs was quick and there weren't any huge lines.
