This was our first trip with Celebrity and we truly enjoyed ourselves. We chose this trip because of the itinerary - St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Barbados, Dominica and St. Maarten - and it was during the Thanksgiving holiday. Our overall impression of the Celebrity experience is positive - this ship had some of the friendliest crew members we've encountered in a long time. Our cabin attendant, Faisal, was top-notch. He was extremely attentive and fulfilled every request in a timely manner. He set the tone each day with a wide smile and friendly greeting.

The ship itself is large but not so huge that you feel like an ant among thousands. The decor is sleek and minimalist with white curtains hanging in the shopping area. Modern art photos hung on stairway walls throughout the ship. The atrium was not "Wow!" but featured a huge multi-colored vase with a tree that shifted in the "wind." The public restrooms were modern and featured cloth and paper towels. They were always clean.

Our cabin, 7161, was comfortable with a slanted veranda. We didn't care for this as we could see directly into the veranda next to ours from cabin 7163 (I think). The veranda was directly over the huge lifeboats so the view wasn't the best, but the angle was interesting. Loved the sleek bathroom and glass shower. Very stylish. Read more
