Review summary

While it's interesting to see the ports of call, I'm not sure why people love crusing. The price we paid was HIGH, and then they kept up-selling everything. Maybe if the initial price was more reasonable, I would feel so "taken".

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was great. Drinks watered down. Service in main dining was too slow.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Chairs at the pool must be saved early in the morning, or you may not get one. The crew will tell you they cannot be saved, or they will reclaim them after 30 minutes of be vacated, but it just isn't true. They don't enforce anything.

Ship tip

Do your homework in advance. Know what to expect. Otherwise you will be taken for $$ and lost for the first couple days.

I’ve never had a watered down drink, and never had pot service at any food place on a Celebrity cruise. And if you do your homework they really aren’t any more expensive as any other vacation

Cruising isn't for everyone. Maybe resort based vacations are better for you
