We love cruising and Celebrity is our favorite cruise line. We were on the Eastern Caribbean 7 day cruise that departed on Sunday, December 7, 2014. This cruise, with the exception of one aspect, did not disappoint.
Pros: The ship is beautiful. The only time it felt crowded was when we were in the food areas - main dining room and the buffet area. There are many nice lounges and seating areas that are beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed the guitarist Jonny Java - he was fantastic! We loved our stateroom - Concierge level on deck 11. It was spacious and quiet. The chairs on our balcony were comfortable. Food was great - never had a bad meal. We did not eat in any of the specialty restaurants because we had an awesome group at our table for dinner and we did not want to miss out on their company! We are Select members of the Captains Club and we enjoyed the events that were held for the Captains Club - a wine tasting, two cocktail parties, and a backstage tour.
Cons: Fortunately we have cruised before but if we had not cruised before and this was either our first cruise or our first with Celebrity it would have left a bad taste. The only downside to this particular cruise is something that we have never experienced before on any of our many, many, many cruises. Really hard to generalize but overall the other passengers on this cruise were an incredibly obnoxious, poorly behaved group. The kicker.....the worst behavior we routinely witnessed was from the large population of retired senior citizens traveling on this particular cruise! A few examples:
Spacious. Loved the location - very quiet. Spacious balcony with comfortable seating. Large bathroom.
