Review summary

Fun, relaxing cruise with a very attentive staff. Captain Kate and staff provided a very informative behind the scenes boat tour. We chose this cruise as it included 4 port stops instead of the typical 3. Food was awesome and the rooms are well insulated as we never heard our neighbors.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
As my wife and I reserved a concierge level balcony room, we were allowed to directly enter the ship as soon as we cleared the security area.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food and service in the main dining room was outstanding. The sushi at the specialty sushi restaurant was fresh and delicious. The food in the Oceanview Cafe was good quality and provided many choices. The burgers and fries at the Mast Cafe were delicious especially when adding bacon and grilled onions on the burger even though they were pre-made.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Well stocked fitness center. Pools were busy; but there were typically chairs available outside of the pool area. Scavenger hunts were fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were very entertaining and the comedians were funny. The magicians were also very entertaining. Audio Vox A Cappella group was good as well.

Children's Programs

No children on this cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was very attentive to our needs. Restaurant staff were very attentive as well. All staff members that we encountered were very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was kept clean as they constantly had staff walking around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Rooms on cruise ships are tight; but as you’re typically only in there to change and sleep, the cabin sizes are fine. Bed was comfortable albeit shorter than a California King.

Ship tip

If you have the Celebrity Select dining option, try to make your reservations on the first day of the cruise else be subject to later eating times. We are from SoCal so eating later was no big deal to us due to the time change between coasts.

Ports of call

Native Choice Chacchoben Extreme tour was excellent.

Mr Sancho’s all inclusive romance package with the cabana and massage was well worth the money.
