Review summary

Very nice ship in the Celebrity ship line. Plenty of room for everyone, with quiet spaces to steel away from the crowds if you want to. The captain of this cruise vessel rocks!!! Watching him maneuver this vessel was awe inspiring. Recommend this ship for cruising anywhere. I’d like to take a trip to Europe on this boat. Food and Room Services were on a par with a 5 star hotel. When getting back from excursions, it was my refuge. Did not want to leave when we got back to Lauderdale.

Nice atmosphere!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the shows. Activities were geared toward older more affluent folks so the activities tended to be more subdued.

The Hideaway

Nice comfortable seating great balanced sound quality.

Grand Foyer

4 out of 5

Music was generally earsplitting. Lots of sound reflection because the space is tall and somewhat narrow. The sound reflection caused excessive dB noise.

Solstice Deck

5 out of 5

Very beautiful and comfortable space to privately lounge away from the large crowds.

Cartagena, Colombia

Street vendors maul you and there is a chance of pick pockets. Not fun at all and did not feel safe!

Colon, Panama

Hell hole! Very poor destitute country. Smell of sewage, etc. The contrast of the affluence of the cruise ship alongside the poverty put a real damper on the tour. Tour guide was nice, but the lunch was a fiasco. We stopped at what amounted to a food court. With the language issues and lack of service made getting lunch a joke. People had to get angry before the tour guide stepped in to help.
