Review summary

The Celebrity cruise is in a different class from other cruise lines we've tried. Seems to be very up-scaled at similar prices to other cruise lines. The one significant difference is the food which has suffered over the years with most cruise lines. We were pleasantly surprised. I only wish the guest were given an option to give tips based on service. Instead, all the cruise lines now simply add 20% to everything seizing their own tip regardless of the service.

Great quality of food and selection. Great service in dining room.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool was small and the employees kept ordering people out of the pool that were holding drinks. Never have had this happen on a cruise.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
We wanted to go to the beach, but there was a tremendous seaweed problem. We laid by the pool in the port area which was nice.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach at Mr. Sancho's all inclusive. Only a short cab ride ($17) each way, but the food, drinks and service were plentiful.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Visited 7 mile beach, beach and water were beautiful. Food and drinks are expensive.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Celebrity seems to be very organized for embarkation and disembarkation as well as getting people off and on the ship at ports of call. Very different than other cruise lines.
