Review summary

Loved it. Will definitely try another celebrity cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Went super smooth, onboard within 15 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I'd give it a 5 but the lack of choice in the Main dining room and the not good deserts were 2 things I missed. The flavor and seasoning was great. And buffet food was quite good

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Always had something going if you felt like being active.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were great. And headliners were awesome as well. Had a singer, a comedian and a magician.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff and service were top notch

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

They were always cleaning something. But there were areas that could use a touch up like the wood railings and paint on the outside. Some furniture showing wear and tear.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was clean, comfortable and I loved the bed

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5

Bonaire is by far my favorite Port I've ever been to. Rented a golf cart from Bonaire cruisers. So much fun, the island is beautiful and people are so sweet.
