The buffet was excellent. MDR was not very good at all. We tried it twice and never went back. Tuscan Grill was awesome. Hats off to Arthur who always greeted us with a smile and was very energetic. Silk Harvest restaurant was also excellent

Our steward Alejandro was fantastic. Only issues with the cabins were that there were not a lot of places to store clothes and very few electrical outlets. I use a CPAP machine and they had to supply me with an extension cord that I had to plug in every night and dragged through the cabi. Tripping hazard in the middle of the night

Did not care for this port at all. Took a ride to Christiansted. There were few shops open as well as by the port. Would stay on the ship next time

Bridgetown, Barbados

WOW. Highly recommend visiting the Boatyard $5 taxi to there. $20 to get in and you get beach chair , umbrella, first drink and use of the snorkeling tour. Swimming with the sea turtles were great. Plus they give you a free ride back to the ship

Castries, St. Lucia

Took a tour to the pitons. Then we did the volcanic mud baths.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

This stop was the one that made our entire trip. Booked an excursion (not with Celebrity). Johnnys ATV rental. Johnny took us around the entire island (4hours!). Stopped off at a beach with only a few locals, visited Marigold, Maho Beach, fed iguanas. Johnny had another couple booked for the same tour but they cancelled so basically we had a private tour around the island on ATV's. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS TOUR
