Review summary

This was my first cruise in many years. We wanted a premium experience without paying for the super-high-end cruises.

 

The staff was very friendly and took care of any request.

I was a little worried about staying in a 200 sq foot cabin, but it is very efficient with space.  It worked out great.

The food was very yummy.  My only (minor) disappointment was that the food was served warm (and not hot) a few time.  It still tasted great, but may have been sitting around before served to our table.  I guess this is to be expected when they have to serve 3,000 people at once.

 

Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend Celebrity Cruises, and will sail with them again in the future.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The top-chef competition was really a Celebrity cook with a passenger mostly just standing there. My partner is an excellent cook, and wanted to actually cook in the competition. We did not go to many other onboard activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Much nicer than I expected. We especially liked the acrobatics.

we pre-booked a private took with Jamaica Phil to hike/swim in the blue hole. It was great, and I hear a LOT less crowded than the hike up the waterfall.
