Celebrity never fails to deliver. Despite minor irritations it was a fun, entertaining 10-day cruise that gave us a wonderful excape from winter in Michigan. Celebrity is a top-notch cruiseline! We've already booked the Equinox for a 10-day voyage next year!
PS: Wifi needs to be available on the boat for free! Or at least provide a room for Wifi access. Why should I pay for 10-days Internet at a price that is triple what I pay at home??

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining room service depended on where you sat. Twice we had painfully slow service. One section was especially good service. Quality of food has diminished--turkey & gravy not the same as prime rib! Very small servings. We often ate at the Ocean View buffet. Lunch offered many options but dinner did not. Overall, food on a cruise is not what it used to be!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We went to the wonderful solarium pool every day. Pool was perfect temp and hot tub was hot! We enjoyed the outside pool and the music and games around the pool. Spa, as usual, was overpriced. Let's make a deal activity was a lot of fun. Lots of live music!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Best we've ever had. The performances in the theater varied every night and were excellent. Stage production crew was polished and wonderful! Onboard musicians were top notch! Casino was a lot of fun. Finally, they gave free drinks on sea days and machines and tables actually paid off!
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our room steward Ricky was awesome. Our room was cleaned twice a day and left in immaculate shape. Servers in Oceanview Cafe were plentiful and provided great service. As I mentioned before, service in main dining was sub par and seemed chaotic every night.

Just right. We enjoyed our balcony. Bed was comfortable.
Ship tip
Try to get a room close to an elevator/stairwell. Lots of long hallways.
We did a Panoramic Antigua tour thru Delta Sky Miles Cruises. Island is beautiful! Casino and shopping just off the pier. Friends did the Catamaran Lobster Lunch and loved it so plan to do that next year!
We did a 3 hour tour of St. Maarten (Best of St Maarten) which was ok but stopped only briefly at a few spots, none of which had good shopping or restaurants. Next time we'll catch the water taxi at the pier and go the Great Bay Beach on our own. Lots to do near ship including multiple casinos and lots of shopping.
Collection of luggage was chaotic. No one told us that there were multiple bays with luggage. Signs need to be posted outside the collection area so you know what's happening when you walk into luggage area. Took transfer thru boat for Miami airport which worked well.
Appreciate your informative review. Nice to know the there is still a cruise line that does service to the cabin twice per day. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite of the food options not being as good as before.
