Review summary

I will definitely cruise on Celebrity again, we already wish we were back! Celebrity service is exceptional, while we would love if Celebrity came up with an app for a large group to communicate with each other, we made it work and had a wonderful time. Our group consisted of 22 people.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
On the boat in minutes, checked in and off to the bar. Couldn't ask for better!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great each night in the main dining room, we visited to upcharge restaurants that were great as well, but the main dining room food is good enough that upcharge restaurants are not a must. I have been on other ships where the main dining room food is not good and almost forces you to the upcharge restaurants, not the case on Celebrity.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Celebrity does gear to an older crowd, pools are fine, no slides or many other activities for the kids. Bingo was fun, especially when I won!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Only went to a couple shows. The Frisky Feud was fun and the comedian who performed on the last day was great. Did not see the production shows, they did not seem like our thing. Musicians were okay, they could use some better talent there. We were in the Sky Lounge one night and the band that came on was supposed to bring up the energy, they played the slowest sleepiest songs you could think of. I was very confused...

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
As the ship is geared toward an older crowd, I think they need to be more creative on things for the kids/teens to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Celebrity should pride itself in this area. There staff all around was top notch!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Pretty easy to get around, a few floors that you would spend the most time on. Everything looked clean to me.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great room, good location. Wish it was a little bigger, a bit tight with us and our 15 year old. Very clean and comfortable bed.

Ship tip

Ensemble Lounge has the best bartenders and the martini bar is fun!

We did not book an excursion, but took a shuttle to Maegan's Bay Beach. Love this beach, everyone had a blast, we rented a paddleboard and kayak for the kids! Water is crystal clear!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Got off and did some shopping on our own, rented a jet ski for a couple of the kids, had lunch and then got back on the ship.

Disembarkation

Off and on our way in no time.

How much is the ships wifi ? Do u know ?

There's an app called WhatsApp that allows you to text using WiFi instead of relying on cell service. Try that on your next cruise (assuming you purchase the ships' WiFi)
