Review summary

I have been on many cruises, several Celebrity ships. I may never cruise Celebrity again. Medical staff and subsequent interaction are very poor.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

could not have gone better

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet good, main dining great. Did not use specialty. Our attendants were VERY hospitable and went out of their way to make our meals enjoyable!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Mostly used Solarium, but other pools were also good. The nightly shows were a little less so.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I have been on cruises that the entertainers were great. These seemed a little lower than previous.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very good. I did get injured in port though and I was not impressed with ship medical staff.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean, layout was average.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean and comfortable, bathroom was very good, cabin a little small. The balcony helped with that issue.

Ship tip

Buy the trip insurance. It can really help if unexpected happens.

I made a mistake. WE did the water falls excursion. They warn you about the 20 miute walk at end of excursion. They forgot to mention the 45 minute climb to get to the falls. Jumping off the falls was great fun.

Marina snorkeling. Snorkeling was fun, the 1 hour wait setting on cement bench at end of our excursion for the divers to get done stunk!!!

Disembarkation

I fell and hurt myself in port. The medical crew worked hard to get me off the ship so they could sail. Treating patient -- not so much.
