Review summary

With nearly 30 cruises total, this was our first on Celebrity. Smaller ship but not crowded, that means fewer activity options and shows (by contrast, we were on a RC Oasis-class ship two weeks prior; way too crowded but many activities & show options). Older crowd and fewer children so much calmer than family-oriented ships. We enjoyed and would cruise again. Tuscan Grille not worth the extra cost; MDR featured good food and great service.

Older but good shape. No issues finding a bathroom and well maintained/staffed

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Small with too much furniture. Nice makeup table with plugs & lighted mirror. Steward kept it clean!

Ship tip

Hard to find drinking water outside dining areas. Bring a bottle and fill hygienically

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

One of the Best Caribbean ports. Clean & safe. Enjoyed Celebrity excursion

Nassau, Bahamas

Improving but still madness outside secure area. 3rd party excursion was good (not great). Ship excursion was better

Disembarkation

OK but older terminal with kludgy baggage claim and narrow exit from ship
