Review summary

We met people from England, Scotland, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Florida and many more locattions. We had a Great cruise, with great service, with OK food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Process was smooth and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We did not visit any specialty restaurants since we're usually happy with the dining room & enjoy meeting new people. The food in the dining room & buffet was OK. There were no meals that were remarkable. We weren't disappointed, but not impressed.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I spent most of my time at the pools, my husband did attend 2 talks and enjoyed them. However, he went to a Mac/IPad talk & they were charging $ 10.00 PP...ridiculous - he did not go.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We were on this ship 3 years ago & the entertainment has improved significantly! Every night was wonderful.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service just about everywhere, especially in the Captain's Club with our Bartender, Danang:) -see photo. Although the grill people at the Aqua Grill could be a bit more hospitable/pleasant. They always seemed grumpy. The burgers are delicious though:)

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the ship! Very easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had an inside room, which was fine. Although it was a wierd shape, and I had to make adjustments to dry my hair (I usually do this sitting in a chair at the desk, in front of the mirror). There wasn't that much room between the desk and bed for a chair. That's why I gave 4 stars.

Ship tip

Enjoy the back of the ship, dining or drinking,boarded

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Came early for 2 nights & stayed at the Hampton Inn downtown. Worked out great.

Fort-De-France, Martinique

2 out of 5
Wouldn't get off ship.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Took taxi to beach. Paid $15 each for chairs/umbrellas & got that money back to spend for food. Beach was small, but nice.

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
Went to a beach, which was a bit rocky (due to hurricanes?). Water was nice & there was a small boat selling beer, coconuts, etc. (see photo).

St. John's, Antigua

2 out of 5
Took a tour and wasted $50.00. Nothing to much to see but Eric Clapton's place miles away on a hill. Stay on ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very smooth EXCEPT for the bus company that Celebrity hired to take us to the Miami airport. One bus left, the we waited almost 45 minutes for another one to come! Almost everyone was gone. The guy from the bus company said they had a lady that fell, and traffic????? Really? What, they have 1 or 2 buses? These people do this everyday & make plenty of money. They need to get their act together.
