Review summary

Won’t be back anytime soon I don’t think. Norwegian and Primcess and of course Disney were far superior. They need to look at the decor of the ship, the activities and such.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We were late due to a highway single vehicle fire which closed the highway. So we had to drag on our bags

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Not that great at all! Entertainment from live bands only lasts about 45 minutes a set and there are only two sets that play a combined 3 sets. Not much quality entertainment. Meals were not that great except for Murano. Staff have issues, I had a maitre’ d I’m assuming bang into me and just kept on walking, while glaring back at me! Marco, you are an idiot

Onboard Activities

Ship Quality

Ship was very clean but very run of the mill, no wow factor at all

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was comfortable. Balcony wasn’t what I had hope for. Pillows and ,stress were very good. Arnold was great.

Ship tip

If your over 70,do it. We did meet a wonderful couple that are very much seniors but acted very much like our age, mid forties. They made our cruise. The Up and Up were great, limited material but sound very good. The Philippine band were fantastic too

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Celebrity website is horrendous! Made it almost impossible to book excursions. We had made reservations and due to the hurricanes they were all scrapped. So, we were left high and dry. Our concierge was useless. Never heard anything from him, when you are paying for a suite, you’d expect that! I requested murano and he said the only thing he could get was at 9pm a night later. We already had 8:30for the night we wanted. So what benefit was that

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
Caught a cab with others from the ship and went to a beach where we booked a private excursion to swim with the turtles and see the ship wrecks. Was great and saved $80per person on what the ship was charging, btw, the ships excursion never saw the turtles. Funny

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Booked an excursion on the wharf that sailed us to the part of the island with the drive through volcano where we took a soulful bath, didn’t stink, relax, then we went for a mineral bath in a tropical waterfall, then to Marigot beach for snorkeling before enjoying rum punch with No Link Tours(Penny). Was fantastic

St. John's, Antigua

3 out of 5
Went to the beach and relaxed as the weather was on and off rain all day

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

You are ALWAYS welcome to come back to Princess. We will try to keep a cabin open for you (if you book far enough in advance - lol).
