Sail Date: Nov 2016
Cabin: Ocean View 8

We were 2 couples traveling in two cabins. The embarkation and disembarkation were flawless.

The ship and the cabin were physically tired. Our room was on deck 3. It was the last passenger cabin forward before the crews cabins. We could hear water dripping in the walls all night. One night I was awakened at 2:00 AM by a continuous drip of water on my head from the ceiling. I had to put a towel on the pillow and scoot over to my wives side to finish sleeping. They fixed it the next day. The cleaning solution made the bathroom smell badly when we first arrived. It got slightly better as the cruise progressed. The noise from the floor above, which was a public space, started every morning at 5;30 AM. It was some sort of work space with lots of banging and moving of heavy items.

Dining in the main dining room felt under staffed. Reservations were no problem with the anytime dining. The sommelier was nowhere to be found on many nights. We were half way through dinner on 2 nights before we could get him. Sometimes the wait staff was very attentive and other times they seemed overwhelmed by the volume of tables they serviced. Food portions and quality have gone down hill as compared to other Celebrity cruises. We have taken close to 20 Celebrity cruises and 40 cruises over all. The menu choices weren't great on some nights. The steaks were very tough.

Decent size window

Port Reviews

Barbados

Boat Yard beach. This is where the crew goes. $25.00 gets you lounge, umbrella, one drink and van back to ship. Beautiful white sand beach with diving pier, rope swing and floating slide.

Antigua

Valley Church beach. nice white sand beach with facilities and lounges

St. Maarten

Beach is great. $10 will get lounge, umbrella and bucket of beer. Blue Bitch Bar with Ricky the Fox right on the beach walk is a must from 12:00 to 3:00. Great fun.
