Review summary

It may sound like I am just complaining, but we actually had a very god time. I just hi-lighted a few things that did bother us. I also noticed that we only docked about until around 5:00. Other cruise lines stay at port until later.

Onboard Activities

We mostly went to the show and the casino, The movies were terrible - meant for children and the movies in the room were also poor. You need more current movies and at least one TV station that is not a new station or sports station. Would like to see better use of the card/game room. We had an excursion every day so did not participate in other games. Watched glass blowing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Loved the stage shows and the comedian. Would like to see more comedians at some of the other bars later at night.

Didn't care for the soap, lotion and shampoo. It did not smell good.

Ship tip

If you want to feel special - Go Celebrity and be pampered.

We took tour of the island, but would have liked to spend more time at Atlantis. Our excursion was added after the first one filled up and did not leave until 1:30. We felt rushed all day. Would like Atlantis to be last stop in case we wanted to look around the grounds or have lunch. This was an island that was not on our original cruise.

The excursion was okay, but a lot of trees. Got there on Saturday and by the time we got back the shops closed at 1:00. Would have like to stop there on a week day. This island was not on our original cruise.

Beautiful island, but a lot of pot holes. We got there on Sunday and the shops were closed. Would have liked to stop there on a week day. Excursion was okay, but rum cakes are over rated.

Excursion was okay, but air conditioner leaked all over I was given a 15% OBC. Excursions getting long now and people just wanted to get back to the ship.

Really good excursion. Tour guide was very personable and professional and knowledgeable. Had a good time at the beach. Next time I go I want to take a boat ride.

Pretty good considering all the people that were trying to get off at the same time. I would have liked for the Café to be open one half hour longer instead of sitting in the theater.

Arrival and departure times are driven by itinerary. Those other ships may not have had as far to go to reach their next port. These times are published when booking a cruise. Did they deviate from the published departure times?
