Review summary

I would book through again. They came through with every promise. This cruise is not a night club and loud music experience, just peaceful and relaxing. Wonderful service and good food. Loved the lychee martinis.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Buffet was wonderful for all meals. Main dining was lovely. Food was good, and service wonderful. Murano very disappointing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We are not big on activities. Pool was crowded. There was always a sun bed available. Martini bar delicious.

Entertainment

We like to eat dinner late. By the time we finish, theater is already in full swing.

Children's Programs

No kids!

Service and Staff

I’m always blown away by the service on Celebrity. They couldn’t have been better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Lovely. Not too big. Comfortable and luxurious.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very clean and comfortable. The pillows were a little hard. We chose a balcony with obstructive view, to save money. Will not do that again. It was okay, but a great big yellow lifeboat just below one’s balcony. I love to look down and see the ocean.

Ship tip

Stick to the dining room and Oceanview restaurant. Forget Murano!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Close to home!

George Town, Grand Cayman

Don’t like tenders, very hot waiting to get back on the tender to ship. Honestly, I nearly passed out, I think I suffered heat stroke, as I got back on the ship, eat lunch and slept the rest of the day and night! But, I have to mention it was the best beach and clear water I have ever swam in. The water was unbelievable.

Cozumel, Mexico

Great shopping, but too much shop owners trying to pull you in to buy from them. If you can stand that, it’s worth the hassle. I found a necklace that was perfect for me.

Bimini, Bahamas

I bought the excursion to the beach club. They promised a sun chair and umbrella. When we got there, all the chairs were taken, and no umbrellas available. We got lucky, and managed to get to chairs with umbrellas as a lady left early. The transportation back to the ship was a nightmare. Not enough trams on duty. There’s a lovely small beach within walking distance of the ship, with chairs and umbrellas, free! No waiting for umbrellas or sun chairs. The ocean was beautiful to swim. You don’t even think about the sharks!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We came off the ship with our suitcases. Very efficient and quick. Easy coming through immigration and customs with facial recognition. Loved it.
