Review summary

This was our 4th cruise with Celebrity and it was disappointing on most levels. It was a money grab as soon as you got on the ship. From the drink package to wifi. These packages are all on a tier system. If you don't buy the top tier you have to pay extra. Never had this on other cruises. Shore Excursions never got back to me regarding a complaint I had about a tour. The food was second-rate at best. It was hard to believe it was a Celebrity cruise.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Some of the staff were amazing! Some didn't know what to do or say. We were not serviced in one of the main dining rooms for 45mins and I had to ask the maitre'd to find a server.

Cartagena, Colombia

2 out of 5
Didn't really like Cartagena, a lot of people bugging for money and to buy their stuff. It was hard to shop with everyone trying to sell you there items
