Great activities on sea days. Food and music excellent. Entertainment was enjoyable. Ship is older and rust evident around portholes. Issues with room cleanliness and slow pace in main dining, however we think these issues were a one time thing. We will sail with Celebrity again.
Embarkation
2 out of 5
Because the ship had finished a transatlantic, embarkation in the terminal was delayed several hours for Coast Guard inspection. Celebrity requested to arrive one hour later than scheduled. The terminal is small and seating was full, so we stood outside for about 2 hours. This was clearly the port/terminal issue. Once it started moving, all the rest of check-in was prompt and went smoothly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
All food was excellent. Good variety daily in buffet. Service in main dining was good but a bit slow. One night it was 1 hr 45 minutes from seating to finishing dessert. No explanation or apology from head waiter, staff said back up in galley.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Picklleball was fun but windy unless in port. The mesh screen is too big and had to chase after ball on the deck more than once. Need more open play time.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
All music on ship was excellent in all venues, both live musicians and DJ. Production show was enjoyable. 4 of 5 headliners were awesome.
Children's Programs
no kids
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
We are seasoned cruisers. For the first time ever, we found the cabin was not clean and the areas not clean were obvious. They were corrected after bringing to attention of room steward. Waiters, crew, officers were friendly and pleasant. Note comment above re food and drink, we believe the problem was in the galley, not wait staff.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Great layout of public areas, easy to find your way around. Ship looks a bit tired. Rust on outside of portholes. Beds were comfortable. Lots of public areas, some open and others more intimate.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Size and comfort were good, as expected. Plenty of closet and drawer space. See note above re problems with cabin cleanliness at embarkation.
Ship tip
Enjoy the ship even if it is a bit older and don't hesitate to bring concerns such as dining and cabin for resolution.
We did World Resorts beach excursion. One of the less expensive shore excursions, but not great value for the cost. Beautiful island. We look forward to visiting it again.
