Review summary

We had an Aqua class room with a balcony. Besides being a larger room than expected, this level of room helps you zoom through check-in and security. We must have saved over an hour of waiting in line. The amenities in the room were nicer than the average cabin, with an enhanced room service menu, a little spa bag with slippers and lip protector, and a special dining room. The service everywhere was excellent with the single exception that it sometimes took a long time to get a drink. It wasn't too excessive but it was longer than I would have expected but it wasn't all the time. 

 

The ship is beautiful with art, murals and statues everywhere. The rooms and public areas were spotless. The officers, staff and crew were very friendly and helpful. Our cabin steward Prez remembered all our names from the first day and ALWAYS had a smile. 

 

This cruise does tend to skew a little older. My sister and I are 48 ad 51, respectively and we were in the younger set. There were some families with young kids and teenagers but not many. Because of this, the ship has a more subdued feeling than, say Carnival. Having said that, there was plenty to do if you felt like letting loose a little. They had the usual pool games, dance lessons, party spots and plenty of bars. 

 

If you're looking for relaxation, being treated like an honored guest, and a little luxury Celebrity is the way to go.

Spotless and well maintained not to mention beautiful!

Cabin / Stateroom

Bigger than expected with more than enough storage for my sister and I (both adults). My parents were in the cabin next door and we had them take the divider down between the two balconies (it actually swings out of the way) That was a nice bonus. If you're a must sit in the sun on your balcony kind of person, this isn't the room for you. There is an overhang that in no way interferes with the view but does limit sunlight on your balcony. I liked that fact but some people might not.

Ship tip

If you can afford it, go with Aqua class or above. Saves tons of time and adds a little something extra.

Ports of call

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

Keep walking to the right for more secluded locations and more available chairs.

Cozumel, Mexico

The shopping here is very close to the port but nothing else really is. Had a great time at Senor Frogs but couldn't get a feel for the island.

George Town, Grand Cayman

Loved the feel of this island. Coastal village feel and crystal clear water.
