Review summary

All in all we had a great time. Celebrity is a very nice cruise line. The food on board was excptionally good for a crusie ship. We enjoyed our ports of call and enjoyed the excusions we participated with.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Not smooth, the boarding process was disorganized and the saftey muster drill required us to be packed in an over capicity room for too long.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Hands down, the food was fantastic for a cruise. We ate at several of the different venues and enjoyed them all. I was very impressed with this aspect of the trip,

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Only complaint was on Sea days, it was a fight to fnd deck chairs. Apparently people feel its acceptable to reaerve a chair by placing towels or other items on it and then liesurly come sit innit at some point later in the day? The crusie line needs to find a better way to deal with this. The fitness center was really well equipped, but the touch screens on a number of machines did not work well if at all so it was hard to select workout programs. Need to be better maintaned, however, I would eventually find a machine that worked okay.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows and activities were well done. We watched both cmedy shows and three of the evening productions. The comedians were really good and the musical cast of the performances was also geeat. All decent, the musicians on the ship were very talented and perfomances were “tight” and well rehersed.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most of the staff was exceptional. Had poor customer service from one of the counter people at the Spa (she was kinda rude), but other than that, all good,

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Newer ship, great design, well maintained! Loved the fast elevators a ton!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was nice, loved the balcony. We found the bed to be sligtly uncomfortable and storage space to be some what lmited, but otherwise it was one. If the better ships canin rooms ive had.

Ship tip

You don’t need to worry about bottled water. The ship water from the fontains and dispensers across the ship deliverd very clean and good tasting water. Just bring your favorite water bottle.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
All the stops were great. I would have liked to have more time in Cozemel and Grand Cayman, but otherwise loved the ports. The beach at Costa Maya was great for a laid back beach day.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
We rentd bikes for $10 off the ship and took in all the sights. Very easy to bike where you need to go.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Nice spot for a beach day and to shop for trinkets. When you leave the port arwa, the taxis rigt outside the gate will take you to town for $2 a person. Good spot to bargin for trinkets etc.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We did the Salsa Salsa Margarita tour and had a blast (highly recommend). The port was rather busy as 5 ships were all docked at the same time, but crowds were manageable.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
My favorite stop of them all. The Caymans are simply breath taking. The beaches and the scuba diving was fantastic, as were the people.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Super smooth compared ro boarding. A little confusion on which baggage carosel to claim bags, but we fond them.
