I highly recommend this cruise on Celebrity Cruises. The service was beyond expectation, the food delicious and well-presented. The live music was a real treat.

Embarkation was by appointment. The process was fast, smooth, no hitches, no long lines.

Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Best cruise dining experience I've ever had. The food was excellent in every place that we ate. The main dining room was great, the atmosphere was elegant, the food delicious, the staff friendly, efficient, and entertaining. The buffet was far and away superior to any other ship's buffet. We had one meal in a specialty restaurant and it was phenomenal. My wife said the Filet was the best steak she had ever eaten in her life. There were several excellent bars with friendly staffs.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Spent time at the pool. Had a great time at the "Full Moon Party." It was fun to see the ship's officers dancing to live music. Played trivia. Had an ABBAMania and a QueenMania sing-alongs. Participated in a "First on Brand" event and several exclusive events for guests in Concierge Class that were opportunities to interact with ship's crew. Attended several interesting presentations by ship's staff and guest speakers.
Entertainment

Excellent! I loved all the live music. The stage shows were amazing. They were far superior to those on other cruises. There were two great party bands and several terrific DJs.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our stateroom attendant was almost invisible but he never failed to take care of our every need. He always kept the room immaculately clean, made sure that we had fresh towels, even when we hadn't asked for them. Main Dining Room Staff were friendly and made sure that we had an outstanding dining experience. The recommendations from our waiter and the sommelier were excellent. The waiter presented us several logic puzzles that were entreating and kept us on our toes. Bar staffs were efficient and friendly. They provided excellent service and great drinks. The concierge kept us informed of special activities for Concierge Class guests.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was immaculately clean and well-maintained. It was easy to get around the ship. I did prefer the open, street-like layout of a previous ship we sailed on.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was comfortable, clean, and what I expected size-wise. We were on the port side so we always had a great view when we were in port.
Ship tip
Enjoy yourself! This is a great ship with a great crew and staff.
Arrived the day prior to embarkation. We stayed in a hotel near the cruise port. There were lots of shops and restaurants near by. We just roamed around near our hotel.
Ship ported in Nassau, Bahamas. There was lots of construction in the port area and there appeared to be no businesses opened. We were disappointed that we were at Nassau instead of Grand Cayman that was the scheduled first port of call.
Sounds like the perfect cruise. Our first with Celebrity on the Equinox coming up in April for 12 nights. Reading your wonderful review has me wishing we were going sooner.😊
Appreciate your feedback. We were originally scheduled for Bonaire but that’s been changed to Curaçao (sailing the 30th). Happy you got to go but a little green with envy. Your experience sounds amazing. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
