Review summary

The crew was extremely friendly, especially the dinning servers and house keeping! The dinning room food, could definitely use some improvement. The food looked fantastic and sounded wonderful, except it always lacked flavor and we are not picky eaters. We would recommend this cruise line and already have, plus the ship was kept very clean!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Needs flavor improvement

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Most of the entertainment was fantastic, we are very judgmental, due to being a "former professional percussionist"! There was an incident one evening in the "Ensemble Lounge" with "Peter Rossetti"! A passenger grabbed his microphone and sat down at the piano to sing his new bride a song. Peter was on break and a "somewhat" heated discussion took place, the passenger a apparently had too much to drink, but was friendly. Peter became defensive, explaining the "Union", etc. it wasn't what was said, but how it was said to the gentleman! I think a manager should have been involved, away from the Public eye. Perhaps Peter needs a lesson on how to "deal with the public, especially intoxicated individuals!

Children's Programs

Looked fun, but we do not have children, although the teens seemed bored?

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our dinning staff, Ronni and Phil from the Philippines. Our stateroom attendant was fantastic, room 3157-unfortunately we can't remember her name, it began with the letter "B"!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the location of our cabin, close to the center of everything! Our housekeeping was terrific, unfortunately I can't remember her first name, except it began with the letter, "B". One final note, I'm extremely allergic to dust and the room was very clean, except the vents under the mini bar and above the closet! I'm a Sterilization technician and I wipe the room myself, by accident I found about 2 inches of dust in those vents!

Ship tip

Do not miss the bus/catarmaran tour in Phillipsburg, St. Maarten or the "Guavaberry" tasting at the port in the shopping area! Snorkeling/Catamaran in "Crown Bay, St. Thomas" is pretty fabulous, also!

Sorry to read that the ship's food was not up to your standards.  Glad that you enjoyed your cruise otherwise.

Hi Paul, 

Thanks for your feedback.

I hope you had a great cruise.

 

The incident you speak of in the Ensemble lounge was anything but a pleasant guest wanting to sit down to play his new bride a song. 

 

The context of events which you weren't all present and privy to, didn't need a public relations degree to handle. It needed a call to Security.  

 

The principle reason I love working for Celebrity are because of our fun mature guests. That guy was better suited on a 3 day Carnival booze cruise.

 

best regards,

Peter Rossetti
