Review summary

We cruised on Nov 5 out of Miami.  Unfortunately embarkation was far from for the usual Celebrity experience.  The ship arrived that morning from it's transatlantic passage and needed to undergo the normal US inspections.  Not the first time they have had to do this but check in was delayed with long lines and after you did manage to check in you couldn't board the ship.  They offered shuttles to a nearby mall or escorted you outside the terminal to wait.  Not a good experience and as I said early not the usual Celebrity experience.  The time changed that first night and the ship didn't turn clocks/schedule back.  People showed up for breakfast in Blu only to be turned away as they were closed.  They should arrive in port the evening before in order to complete all of the necessary inspections so that the passengers on the first cruise out on the new itinerary aren't treated so poorly at check in.  After things got straightened out we had a great  cruise.  Great food, great entertainment, great time.

Was looking forward to the Stingray adventure but the wind cancelled that portion of our excursion. Turtle farm was informative and who can resist watching them in the water and/or holding them.

Falmouth, Jamaica

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

Plenty of beach chairs. Water is a little choppy but great place to relax. Nice to have the ship/s crew BBQ and serve food. More than one spot to get food so no lines and no crowds. Great place.
