Review summary

Overall we had a wonderful time. We have adult children who had some special times in their lives happen recently including an engagement on board, and some college graduations. The staff made these celebrations special. We also had a few people with food allergies/preferences and the staff went out of their way to make sure their menus were accommodated each night. I would definitely sail Celebrity again

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This is the smoothest and quickest embarkation that I have ever experienced

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was ok, but the service was excellent. This cruise had an older crowd on it, so there weren’t big lines at the bars or lots of small children holding up buffet lines

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I enjoyed the activities that I participated in. The silent disco was great. I thought many of them were very short. Would have liked to have seen some activities like Karaoke begin before 9:45 PM

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Comedian was average. I didn’t attend any other shows, but our kids told us they were good

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our friends traveled with a young child and she couldn’t wait to go back every day

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Look for Fabian in the main dining room, Bogus behind the bar. Panda and Andre on the deck serving drinks. All great servers and very personable

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I had no issues with the ship but understand it is up for an upgrade this year

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good balcony cabin with plenty of room on deck 7. My cabin steward wasn’t over the top great, but not terrible

Ship tip

6 pm to 7 pm books up really quickly in the main dining room. We upgraded to the premium drink package but found we would have been just fine with the classic package that was included in our trip.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
This area has changed in the last few years. The port shopping area is smaller, but we paid to go about 10 minutes into town and had a lot of fun here. Don’t go to the hard rock. Their conversion rate for American money is about 2 pesos less than just about every where else in the island and very much overpriced

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Port was fine and people were friendly. There is absolutely nothing around this area if you have time to kill

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Nice free shuttle to the center of Duval.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once again, just as smooth as the embarkation. We had a noon flight and were at the airport in plenty of time

Thanks for the detailed review. Glad you enjoyed Celebrity. We have sailed Celebrity quite a bit and are sailing this ship and itinerary in a few weeks. Glad to hear all was fine prior to upcoming ship refresh.
