Review summary

This was a family vacation cruise for 20 of us ranging in age from 5 to 78. We all loved it. Our waiter even walked my dad back to his room after lunch one day because my dad was scared he would get lost. Food was fantastic. We had a room right next to the passport bar and I was very concerned about the noise but they closed the sea doors each night and it was super quiet.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We loved eating in the main dining room for breakfast and lunch as well as dinner. Buffet was okay but lots of people. My nephew was at the table and told one of us that he really wanted a peanut butter sandwich on a hamburger bun for dinner, one of the waiters heard him and came out with a peanut butter sandwich, he was the happiest 6 year old on board. They also made sure that my aunts had all means specially prepared as they have allergies to onions and mushrooms.

We did not go with a tour offered by celebrity, instead we hopped off the ship and went with happy tours city tour for 15 dollars each. Was supposed to be an hour tour but our driver spent over two hours driving us around. We loved it.

Went to coral world. Not a ship tour but taxi fee of 10 dollars well worth it. Great beach right next to coral world was great for snorkeling.

Lots of hurricane damage still. Take the water taxi and then go to the beach right there. Hubby went jet skiing for 60 dollars, he had a blast. Lots of shopping
