Review summary

After not being able to cruise for almost 2 years, I was ecstatic, though a bit apprehensive, as well. But all covid protocols well adhered to (lots of sanitizer around, crew all wore masks the entire time and were tested 1x a week) and it was awesome to be back cruising again. Looking forward to our next cruise in February, 2022.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth as silk. With 1/2 hour timed arrivals, no lines and pre-registration on Celebrity's app, all we needed to do was show our negative covid results, vaccination cards and passports and were able to walk right on. It was so quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All great. Both the Ocean Cafe buffet and Silhouette Dining room had so many great selections, you definitely were not going to be hungry.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Lots of different trivia games, music and movie, but none of the above.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They were ok, but nothing spectacular.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone of the crew were friendly, courteous and very helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout and ease of getting around was great. With only about 1400 or so guests, there was almost never any wait for elevators and just about every ride you had elevator to yourself. The crew was always cleaning something somewhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabins were the usual size and layout and our room steward, Arnold, was always there for any of our needs or wants.

Ship tip

If you happen to be a smoker, there were only 3 small areas, all pretty much in the sun--8 or 9 seats on Deck 5, both aft and forward and Mast Bar on deck 14. Non-smoking casino.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

It was just port we sailed from and to and we live in Florida.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

5 out of 5
Had a private and personal tour with son and his wife of couple we were travelling with. It was very interesting and a fun filled day.

Bridgetown, Barbados Did not visit port

This port was deleted from our itinerary as was Grenada, but they did add St. Smarten.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We were able to disembark here, but only for the port shopping area if you did not have a Celebrity sponsored excursion.

Roseau, Dominica

2 out of 5
Again, only allowed in port shopping area that had about 8 booths, all with exact same items, unless you had a Celebrity sponsored excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple and we'll planned. Had our time and meeting place and all was running on time. Found our luggage, had picture taken and walked off in record time.
