Wow I'll never do this ship again to small moves around way too much. It was clean beds an older boat staff was great but the main dining we ate their 1st night it took for ever to eat. Then we ate during day 5 it was much better much quicker.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Guest Services and Explorations!

5 out of 5

They took care of a few things very quickly good staff

Gift Shop

4 out of 5

When you see a watch that is $20 keep in mind you're buying a piece of junk it's worth $20 you not saving anything

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Got to see one comedian and he sucked

Masquerade Theater

1 out of 5

You'd schedule stuff on the app for the theater and then it would disappear you never knew what was playing or when it was playing you only knew that day if you looked at the compass at the right time on the app

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Over all the staff was wonderful except the main dining Room on the 1st day

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean if you like the small boat it's easy to get around on but that thing moved around so much I'll never go on that boat again

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our Room attendant was fantastic left the towel animals every day straighten everything out did a wonderful job

Ship tip

If you get seasick avoid this boat it moves around more than any other boat we've ever been on

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5

No one was sick on board they would not let us come anyway just if you were from Italy or China or had 1 of those passports they wouldn't let anybody in guest or crew so we had to go to a other island.

Fort-De-France, Martinique

You know if you're bringing in U.S. tours you should put down US prices and be able to give change and US currency not very inviting at all

Disembarkation

Got right on the boat no problem the only thing was is keep getting emails telling me that I was gonna have my temperature taken so we won't bring in the Corona virus or any illness on the ship and there was no one taking anybody's temperature

When we were on it, half the passengers and crew were walking around with barf bags. This ship is too small to handle rough seas. Food stations seemed unorganized compared to carnival.

The bow was definitely hopping up and down when we were on it! But I didn't find it uncomfortable at all

Thank you for the review. We have not been on this class ship with Royal so I was wondering about the ride.

Our Celebrity ship was not allowed at Dominican Republic last week. Cleared us about an hour and a half after we left. This was after we were anchored offshore half the day. No explanation for denying us. Captain apologized to us and gave us a generous compensation.
