We expected Celebrity to be better than other cruise lines as it was more expensive, so when we saw a good deal we went ahead. What a disappointment! Overall the staff and service was excellent, the cleanliness of the ship, especially public areas could not be faulted but the entertainment in the theatre was pitiful, in fact we tried it several times but left after a few minutes. There were some bars with reasonable music which luckily were good enough otherwise it would have been pretty dismal. Probably the most annoying things for us were the fact that the running track was in the middle of the sun deck, so we had to go really early to avoid all the idiots and then we learnt that you had to be like a German and leave your towel on a sun bed otherwise you couldn't get one all day as there were not enough for all the guests. This wasn't a holiday for young at heart as the ship seemed to cater for the very elderly and unfit types in wheelchairs. Wouldn't recommend it and won't be going with Celebrity again. Not value for money.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2B

Cabin 2B

Nice and clean and well maintained, the bathroom was bigger than on some other ships. The storage space was limited as it would have been useful to have more shelves or drawers, perhaps in the wardrobe. Thankfully I took some hangers otherwise there would not have been enough. The MOST ANNOYING THINGS: no light on the balcony, no make-up mirror, no washing line in the bathroom and worst of all NO TEA MAKING! We even got that with Carnival!

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

We went on our own to a great beach and saved loads of money!

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

It's a dump don't waste your time.

Barbados

Arranged our own trip to s fantastic beach which was empty. Mother sea was wonderful, we had a glorious day out.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Embarkation was quick.

St. Maarten

Don't go to the town beach in Phillipsburg as it is horrible. We went a little further in in a taxi and had a great day on a lovely quiet beach. The sea was simply lovely.
