Review summary

I booked another Celebrity cruise a week after we got home. That’s pretty self explanatory! 😊 Loved it!

Embarkation

Very smooth, without a hitch

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in the MDR was average, as was the buffet. The meal we had at Eden was wonderful!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We didn’t partake in many, but there was a lot made available to us

Entertainment

Fantastic! Shows were great and the silent disco was a blast.

Service and Staff

Top notch

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful design, a lot of interesting art work and very clean. I never came across an area that was dirty. You’d see staff cleaning constantly. From bathrooms to handrails

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was a good size with lots of storage space. Bed was very comfortable and on the 2nd night, we asked for feather pillows which were also quite comfortable. The cabin was clean and our room steward was great at keeping it that way. We loved the infinite veranda! The only “slight” disappointment was that we hadn’t realized that this cabin had a partial obstruction. It wasn’t major, just annoying sometimes. Overall, we were quite satisfied with our cabin.

Ship tip

We had concierge class and didn’t find any real value in it. Next time we’ll either go down a class to simply infinite veranda or one up above concierge to Aqua Class. We didn’t find that concierge gave us anymore value than had we gone with regular infinite veranda class.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Loved walking along Fort Lauderdale Beach. One piece of advice I’d give people if you’re taking a taxi in FL, make sure the driver uses the meter. We had one taxi driver ask us where we were from when we got in the car and after finding out we were tourists, he tried to give us a flat rate of $40 for 6 mile trip that ended up being $13! I insisted that he turn the meter on and he finally reluctantly did. So beware. Don’t accept “flat rates”.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was very well organized and easy! I have no complaints about Celebrity’s procedures. All very well done. What I DO have a complaint about is Port Everglades staff. I’d highly suggest they stop the practice of yelling at people like we’re being rounded up in a prison as we get into the terminal. There is NO need for that and I’m truly hoping I don’t experience it again. I can’t guarantee that they won’t get yelled back at right into their face. Extremely rude.

Thanks for sharing. What deck were you on? I'm curious if all of the Infinite Verandas have bed on inside of room vs next to window or if they vary by room or deck
