Review summary

A relaxing 3 night beach break to the Bahamas for some South Florida residents aboard a celebrity cruise ship that served as our seafaring resort and our floating hotel.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Pretty smooth. Carried on bags and parked in the Palm Garage right across from the terminal 25. Only hiccup was one port authority young employee with a chip on her shoulder at security. My wife tried to put her belongings in the bin there and the person yelled no bins no bins no bins at us. Why the heck are the bins there then? This person seemed like she wished she was elsewhere or resentful of people headed on a trip she wasn't.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate dinner and 1 breakfast in Blu. Great service food as expected and very Good on most levels. The buffet was OK but not quite as good as Apex or equinox. Still good. Other venues like the coffee shop and mast grill per as great as ever.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Game shows were good and guest karaoke was hilarious. Celebrity central was only used for movies? Odd we thought 🤔

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Broken strings just OK. The comedian and magical were good not great. The castxshw was pretty good. Again we love celebrity but entertainment is always their weakest link when compared to say Royal Caribbean.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room attendant steward was fantastic as usual. Dining staff bartenders great. Cruise director very Good 👍

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We love the solstice ships. Reflection is very good but we still think equinox and silhouette are the creme of the solstice class.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Aqua class deck 11 balcony port side. Great as expected.

Ship tip

No need to get to the theater shows early. Plenty of room

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did hideaway beach. We enjoyed our time and the food was really good.

Bimini, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We did the Hilton beach club world resort. It was very nice although the weather early was not very good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and smooth but we has carry on as it was only 3 nights, and we parked at the port as we live 45 minutes from port everglades in Palm Beach County. Ate in the buffet and food and services were nice this morning
