Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Gorge, gorge, gorge! Drink, drink, drink! It was everywhere! Ahhhh!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Art auction, glass blowing, silent disco was awesome! Fitness center was nice, even the lawn thing with the outdoor movie.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage show Elysium was ...meh. They used copyrighted music from beyonce and Quiet Riot, rather than produce thier own original score, so it was awkward and blah. But the stand up comic was hilarious!

Children's Programs

I have no kids

Service and Staff

Cabin / Stateroom

No bathtub, and for what I paid it was quite small and felt a bit cramped.

Ship tip

The SpaCafe has weird hours. It's open from mid-morning to mid-noon. On this ship I never got to eat there, because is was closed by the time got back aboard the ship from excursions. I also woke up late or just missed it out sea days. Plan your excursions ONLINE B4 sailing, you'll get better deals.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Since I was still int eh US it was OK. The aquarium was nice.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Those who say this is a boring port never tried to explore oitside the port. Boo for them. Exploring outside the port is amazing. The local beaches are very nice, as are the shops. In 2019, while cruising with Celebrity Equinox, I did the 8 1/2 hour excursion through the Mayan ruins of Kohunlich and Dzibanché. It was amazing, got to scale the pyramids and got in a lot of cardio.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
It was pretty nice, a little hot, but nothing I;m not used to. Wished I could mail the postcards from there, though. But couldn't.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
I wish had spent more time here. I want to go back. I went to the stingrays and it was crowded. I was pretty disappointed at how much a tourist trap it was. I thought it was sanctuary spot. I did rain a bit. But I was surprised how comfortable the weather was - it was humid.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty good, Just wish I had planned a lst day excursion. I ahd to wait for 6 hours for my shuttle to the airport.

The Ship tip SHOULD read: "BOOK your excursions and dining and most activities ONLINE before you sail." That was misleading.
