Review summary

There were many activities and the staff overall was great. I would not consider cruising again on a ship that doesn’t have many activities for young children’s (under 3). As adults we were limited in our activities and they was nothing for our youngest to do.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was very low key, other cruises I go on have a party or entertainment for sailing out of port, but they didn’t do much. Also there line took 2 hours to get onto the ship.

The food and staff was very good. Great variety and helpful staff.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I had a child under 3 and I would not suggest going on a cruise with a young child. There was little to no activities for her and we were limited in what we could do. She couldn’t even get in the pools.

Children's Programs

The kids clubs are great for 3 and older, but I would not recommend going if you have any children tounger. Our oldest had a great time in the fun factory.

You should go oh Harmony of the Seas or Oasis or Allure, we have done them all. We took 14 relatives all age groups on the Oasis and everyone had a blast because there is so much to do and the best entertainment ever. Celebrity is not an entertainment ship but it’s the best for everything else, I love it. Cruised 24 limes

That is why I choose Celebrity. ...not to many kids, strollers, etc. Disney Cruise is perfect for you.

Best cruise ever

Classy Ship

Could have been wonderful if service had been honest and responsive. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Concierge upgrade was definitely NOT worth it.
