Review summary

Carribean cruises are nice, however, all islands seem to offer the same to their tourist. Been on too many Carribean cruises. Time to explore other parts of the world. Been to Alaska once and Mediterranean cruise once.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

MDR food was very good. Murano was excellent, 3 times. Tucson Grill was just ok, not impressed, went twice. LePetite was a nice experience and actually the food selection was good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Enjoyed most the evening shows. Comedian was only fair. Dancer and Celebrity singers were excellent. The Celebrity band was excellent as well. the different venues around the ship had nice entertainment.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

In most cases there were accommodating staff on the ship. On occasion some of the staff were not up to standards I would have expected, not meeting service expectations. Seemed like those staff personnel just lacked personality.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Excellent layout and design, although I noticed for the second time on this ship, the cleanliness was not as consistent as the first time. Maybe due to lack of staffing?

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room steward kept cabin clean twice daily. No issues for space.

Ship tip

Excursion tour on a catamaran to the Pitons was nice and comfortable. I only regret that beach towels were not offered from tour operator, nor did the program from Celebrity acknowledge you should bring a beach towel as there was an opportunity to swim at a local beach close to the Pitons.
