Embarkation

4 out of 5

Everything went well once we asked an agent where Select travelers where we got priority boarding although it simply meant we by-passed a large crowd only by a little.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We commented on the main dining room lack of better choices from previous cruises we had been on.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Good choices but when you do off-ship excursions or visits it seems as though we are too busy or tired after to enjoy ship activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good but some seemed too age specific.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Nice but just seemed a little dated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Initially door would not latch without key card. Bathroom had a slow drip in the sink and a slightly foul odor.

Ship tip

Be aware that Wifi is VERY costly.

I had the same embarkation experience on Equinox in 2019. The Celebrity website and the lady at the Ft. Lauderdale terminal made it sound all la-di-da; it was just a shortcut line to get my photo taken (I was the only one), that merged back into the big line 😅.
