This was a test cruise for us. We wanted to compare Celebrity to Royal Caribbean. We're still loyal to Royal but would be glad to go with Celebrity if the cruise was going to a place we want to see.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

We ate in the buffet the entire cruise and food was great. Coffee was not as good as it is at our house. I was disappointed in the specialty coffee as well. Royal Caribbean is better at coffee.
Onboard Activities

We didn't participate but all the activities we saw looked like fun.

Service and Staff

Our room attendant, Peter, was great. The cabin we booked had a noise problem in the ceiling which kept us up at night. Guest services handled the problem by upgrading us from an interior to a veranda cabin. Waiters were exceptional! Except, in the buffet, they didn't come to your table to offer coffee, water, etc like they do on Royal.

Our first cabin had problems but the one they relocated is to was great.
Ship tip
Don't forget that as soon as you board you may take your carry-on bags straight to your cabin.
Lots to do right off the ship. The excursion we took was a panoramic bus tour. The island is beautiful and more wealthy than most. Didn't see any evidence of crime (barbed wire, bars on windows).
We did self-assist and the line was very long. Many self-entitled people were angry because they weren't allowed to cut in line. Kudos to the line lady who cheerfully sent them to the rear of the line.
