Review summary

Celebrity is our favorite cruise line. They know how to make you feel like you are in 1st class with regular prices. Staff are friendly and eager to help. Ship was clean and easy to navigate to get from place to place. Onboard shopping is not that great, not a lot of choices and very expensive.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No waiting for check in. Waited about 10 minutes in the Eliete waiting area before boarding the ship. Staff were very friendly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We ate in the Murano specialty dinning. It was really worth the $35 upcharge. Service was great and they did a lot of table side cooking and presentations. 30% discount for dining the first night. Main dining room staff were very friendly. Food choices were fair. I ordered from the Classic menu 3 out of the 7 days.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pool was nice. Very few kids on this ship which was nice to enjoy adult pool time. The evening dances by the pool were great. The dance and singing folks were great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great location, mid ship. Balcony was great in port side. We were traveling with three other couples and we had rooms next to each other. We had the balcony walls opened and had a four room balcony. Enjoyed lots of happy hours together on the balcony.

Ship tip

Get to the pool early to get a chair. The staff were watchful of chairs with towels and no one in the chairs for 30 minutes.

Rented golf carts and drove around the island. Stopped at a beach area for a few drinks and shopping.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took a taxi to a beach. $3 fee to enter and had to spend $10 per person for food or beverages. That gave us two lounge chairs and an umbrella. Very relaxing day. Beautiful beach.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Had to tender into the port. Secured a taxi/tour guide outside the port area. She drove us all around the island. $20 per person. She dropped us back at the pier for shopping.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Our bags were supposed to be in room 1. Two bags were in room 1 and two bags were in room 2. Trying to get a taxi to the airport was a little confusing with so many people trying to all leave at the same time.
