Review summary

This was our 2nd Celebrity cruise. Our first was to Alaska. Both cruises we had a Sky Suite so we had some of the extras. Of the two the Alaska Cruise was much better our Sky Suite was larger. Our butler served us snacks in the afternoon and there were other touches that were lacking on this cruise. On both our butler was excellent so it was not the service however the amenities.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Since we were Suite guests we primarily ate in Luminare. We were able to choose from their menu as well as from the main dining room. Service was excellent and food was good to superb. Drinks were very good. We found the Tuscan Grille to be good but not great. Entree was tough and service was slow

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is older however it was very clean and well maintained. The ship was small however it had all the amenities of its larger sister ships

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The suite was well sized and very comfortable. Beds were comfortable. Our balcony was a bit larger than others in our category as it had an angle. Other reviews mention the deep bathtub but ours had hand grips so there were no problems. We were on the 6th deck, aft which was convenient to both stairs, and elevators to most venues. We were also close to internet center.

Ports of call

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

Stayed on board at this port

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
St Kitts was wonderful and perhaps our favorite port. We took the Train and Catamaran tour which was excellent.

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
I was disappointed in ST. Lucia perhaps because of our guide. We did the all day trip to Soufriere and saw the Pitons, A plantation which was very interesting. However it is a long day on winding roads over and around the mountains.

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
We did a 1/2 day beach tour which was very relaxing and the beach was beautiful

St. George's, Grenada

5 out of 5
Another long day on a bus but our guide was excellent. Visited a nutmeg plantation, an actual nutmeg factory which was fascinating. Stopped at beautiful waterfall.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was simple and quick.
