Review summary

Really great experience overall - more culture than a carribbean vaca but still time to relax and sun.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Smooth, Celebrity worked around some of the port logistics challenges well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Celebrity always has great food & drink- this south american itinerary was a bit more challenging for them to get supplies but they covered for it very well.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Boat is one of their older ones, but the fitness center, restaurants and sunning areas were good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment was decent, not as flashy as some of their prior trips.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Solid good service - not quite as happy as some of the other staff on prior cruises.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

Big enough.

Ship tip

Make sure you know what will be offered, there is a little bit less going on than some other cruises. But it was great for relaxation.

Ports of call

Buenos Aires, Argentina

4 out of 5
Flew in, got a private guide who showed us the city, boarded the ship

Montevideo, Uruguay

4 out of 5
Easy port- went on a bus tour booked through Viator - good deal.

Punta Del Este, Uruguay Did not visit port

Santos (Sao Paulo), Brazil

4 out of 5
Good stop- worth taking a panoramic bus tour

Buzios, Brazil

5 out of 5
Loved this stop. We took a schooner to beaches which wasn't exactly what we thought it would be. But a beautiful town and an excursion was not necessary.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

5 out of 5
Did the 8 hour excursion from Celebrity- amazing tour guide, great sites.
