Review summary

Took this "upscale" cruise for our 50th anniversary. We think we will just stick with Royal Caribbean.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
While the food was generally excellent. The offerings were not really to our tastes and limited. Their desserts "looked" beautiful but tasted like they had been bought frozen and thawed out. There were no venues for mid afternoon or late night snacks unless you wanted pizza.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Celebrity leans more to sedated activities like game show style things.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The featured guest entertainers were very good. The production shows were like most we have encountered on cruise ships. They ruin them with scantilly clad dancers doing inane routines more akin to pole dancing than stage entertainment. Ony stayed for part of one show. Disappointing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Stateroom attendants and restaurant staff were outstanding.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Generally well laid out. Need more seating in the grand foyer since much of the musical entertainment happens there.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very pleasant, especially as we had a wakeview veranda. Our concierge had a poor opinion of lowly Royal Caribbean Diamond Class crossovers. She insulted us the very first night and we never attempted contacting her again. Disappointing.

Ship tip

Beautiful ship if you just want a quiet getaway.

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Just flew in and out with overnight stay before.

Wish we had known about the nice pool area and lazy river at the port but we enjoyed our beach adventure too.

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Just stayed aboard since we had visited here several times previously.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

3 out of 5
