Review summary

So we started with a 7 night cruise, suite level, all the bells and whistles, which got shifted to a 4 night cruise due to equipment issues. once we finally left port for the first island, we were rerouted to search for a man overboard. We found him, deceased and floating, and missed our first port. St Croix let our ship doc but there wasn't anything for us to do, there were like 6 excursions for 1500 people, obviously not enough, and two pubs in town, so we just wondered around then went back to the ship. The next two ports were uneventful, thankfully.

I felt sorry for the captain (who is the first non greek Celebrity Capt I've sailed with. She did what was right while asea, but the company needs to compensate its travels for the additional diversion. My daughter only turns 30 once and this was a very special event for her, she missed all three islands she choose excursions for, you can't get that back. I'll still cruise with Celebrity, because I like them, but come on guys, step it up a little.
