Review summary

Celebrity cruise line delivered as far as ship cleanliness, welcoming staff and great food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy flow of passengers. We were on the ship within 20 minutes of arrival!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
First night was prime rib dinner in the main dining room and it was excellent. We ate in the main dining room the next night and after that we decided to go to the buffet because we were not very interested in the meals that they were offering. Nothing really stood out to us. And that was ok because their buffet was excellent! So many choices for all 3 meals. We found everything to be very good!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We visited the Spa area for adults only which was relaxing but pools are small. One disappointing factor was the casinos few servers going around offering complimentary drinks….rarely saw them :(

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoy going to all the shows the ships have to offer. Celebrity’s entertainment was very enjoyable. We thought all the entertainers were really exceptional, thoroughly enjoyed Feel the Funk , Illusionist Chad Chesmark and comedian Monique Marvez as well as cruise director Luigi.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We always saw staff cleaning the ships areas. There were always waiters going around the pool area and theater area asking if you’d like to order a drink. Our room steward, Fregie was great! Such a sweet young girl that always greeted us by our names and asked if there was anything she could help us with.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very nice ship! Well maintained and pleasing to eye. So many attractive areas to sit , relax and enjoy your time away.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bed was very comfortable as were the pillows, we both slept well. No issues. Chocolates on the pillows was a nice touch. Haven’t seen that in a very long time! Cabin was a big tight due to small table near couch but no problem for us. Cabin was well-maintained, very clean looking.

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy your time away. It is what you make it, have a good attitude 😊

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Interesting port the day we visited. Certainly not for children, it was Fantasy Fest week and there were things I saw that were quite interesting to say the least. 🤣

Bimini, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Beautiful blue waters. Looks to be a quite an undeveloped island. We felt for ourselves, it was the type of port “once and done”. We did go to the Resorts World casino. Very small and limited on games offered. Friendly staff. Looks to be a very nice Hilton hotel to stay in.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We took the early disembarkation, easy peasy. Off the ship, after breakfast at the buffet by 7:30-8am
