Nice cabin and efficiently laid out but a bit outdated as there are no USB ports in the cabin. Signs of age in some parts of the cabin.

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
No excursion. Easy to get to beach and shopping area with water taxi. Nice beach area with plenty of restaurants near by. Local vendors are persistent and approach you often on the beach. Would prefer if the vendors were able to set up an area where you could go over to view their goods and services without being bothered every 5 minutes by their sale pitch. However once you said no the same vendor did not approach again. The problem is that another vendor would approach. It made it hard to relax as they kept coming by.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
No excursion. Stayed in port area which was nice. It had shops and pool area.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Efficient but required you to get up very early in the morning.

I cruised with Celebrity on this ship last September (was my first ever cruise), and I loved every moment of it. So great that you had such a wonderful time, too, and may all your future sailings with Celebrity be everything you hope for!
