Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MDR was great! Food was good and servers were attentive. Buffet was very efficient at any time that we went there. Mast grill was good too. Late night pizza and pasta bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We spent most days at the pool. Yes it is difficult to get a chair even if you go at 7:00 AM to get one. Oh well, the sun still shined and we got plenty of sun!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedians were both good. Motown was great! Did not see the Whitney singer, but heard that she talked too much. Seats in the theater were super uncomfortable, so hopefully they will fix those in dry dock.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was attentive. Loved the Martini Bar staff!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy to get around, rarely had to wait very long for an elevator. Room was what we expected.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bed was comfortable. We travel with our own pillows. Temp was good in the room. Don’t take an extension cord, even without a surge protector, they will confiscate it. Oops.

Ship tip

Get the premium drink package and go to the Martini Bar.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

No excursion, just walked around.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
1/2 day Champagne Catamaran Snorkel excursion through Celebrity was really fun. We don’t snorkel, but had a great day on the beach.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Change of ports, but still did not have any interest of doing anything there.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Cabbed over to Atlantis and went to the beach there and walked around just to see it.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty smooth

I empathize with taking your own pillow however New Zealand to Alaska via Vancouver, Rocky Mountain train and Toronto is a long way to carry a pillow. Think I will give that a miss this time! Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
