Embarkation

Easy experience and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet items were varied and delicious. Main dining room was too repetitive and not up to Celebrity's standards. We had several drinks and they were all great.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Games were plentiful and fun. Did not do the pools but every time we were in the area there were chairs available also same issue with towels on chairs and no one in the chairs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Neil Diamond Experience was excellent! Comedian and magician were good. Production shows were disappointing. Singers and dancers on stage pretty much just standing there singing. I expected a "production" "show" not just singers standing there one after another singing. Lots of songs we had never heard before.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All provided excellent service. No complaints on any staff. Ship officers/staff were all over the ship and very welcoming.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean. Love the "real" hand towels in the restroom to dry your hands.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Excellent cabin and location. Largest balcony. It only rained once but you can still be on the balcony and enjoy the view. Foot stools provided.

Ship tip

Enjoy the dark lounge outside of the Murano restaurant. The World Class Bar has some interesting drinks!

St. John's, Antigua

The Catamaran Sailing with Lobster lunch was great. They grilled the lobster on the boat. Nice lunch. Two stops for swimming. Boat is pulled right up to the beach so you can walk off and swim if you want to.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Did self tour. Nice port. Plenty of stores. We've been here several times so made a trip to a salon for mani and pedicure.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

Did a visit to a bird park. We went inside the enclosure and the parrots, parakeets, etc land on you. You've given a cup of food get to feed them. Then on to a cheese store. Great visit!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We arrived around 7:00 a.m. but didn't get off the ship until 9:45. We were given a 8:25 departure. Got to the luggage area and the tags were torn off of one of our bags so bag was placed in a different room against a wall. Took about 40 minutes to find it.
