Review summary

14 days? Not long enough!!! We could have stayed another 14 easily! But we are thinking it might soon be time to try some other itineraries outside the Caribbean...

Embarkation

5 out of 5
What can I say, they are very organized at this stuff ! Have to say though that embarkation at Miami seemed smoother than Fort Lauderdale...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Oh please, do you have to ask? Specialty Dining is a must. Wife loves Muranos while I rave over the Tuscon Grill. And if you want a Cheeseburger in Paradise (with out going to Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville), the Mast Grill can set you up with one to go with your Heinekens! We always go for Celebrity perks and usually go with a trio of beverages, grats, and OBC. Highly recommended.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Two weeks in the sunshine, away from the Atlantic Canadian winter weather!!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pretty good, but we do not cruise to spend time in the theatre.

Children's Programs

No kids...

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Celebrity will not let you down. All staff were excellent!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
These are beautiful ships...there was an announcement about the upcoming Edge. Someday we hope to try her out...

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Again, we did not opt for concierge this time. I think we can rough it!!!

Ship tip

Go for Celebrity perks if there's a good deal available. Avoid the irritation of signing for every beverage...

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We actually flew into and stayed in Fort Lauderdale (Hampton Inn, Plantation) pre-cruise, so we didn't spend much time in Miami (just passing thru).

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
Nice island...

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5

Bridgetown, Barbados

Did the Harrison Caves excursion. Pretty neat stuff!

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Very nice...did a catamaran tour up the coast to the Pitons. Drank Piton beer, bought a Piton t-shirt. I ate so many snacks on the catamaran that I Piton a bit of weight too! My gout started acting up for the first time in a decade or so...too much rich food and red wine I guess!

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Wife + St. Kitts + Kay's Fine Jewelry = Credit Card charge

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Still our fav in the Carib...but it had some competition this time from Curacau.

Disembarkation

Very informative review. Try a 21day or longer cruise. Maybe Vancouver to Ft. Lauderdale or a crossing & see Europe. To me these are more than a cruise, they are adventures.
