Embarkation & dis-embarkation was a breeze,very well organized with very little fuss or formality. 'Champagne' welcome was a good start, however luggage was delivered late about 5pm but we were allowed into our cabins at about 1pm. The cabins were smaller than expected but the bathroom and veranda were larger which was a big plus. The wardrobe space was very limited. Wouldn't advise taking a lot of clothes which need hanging. We had the steward remove the bath robes (they are really not needed in the Caribbean and take up a lot of room) and had the 'fridge' emptied to make room for our own 'goodies'. Whoever designed the cabins should have used less space for the entrance foyer, and put the extra into the cabin. The "rounded Bed" was good because it allowed for more room to navigate around. The veranda door was the best, easily opened and closed. The food was very good on the whole, not quite the quality of meat and fish we expected. We only tried the one speciality restaurant Murano, which was a great experience with absolute impeccable service. The entertainment was good with the exception of the artist who did a children's mime show for an adult audience, which really didn't go down too well. I think he was put in at the last minute, however they could have put in the ACapella group or the singers they had available who were first class, as were the two production shows. The ports of call are what you make of them yourselves, each person has their own preferences. Our favourite was Roatan, the Iguana Farm & Mangrove Tunnel tour which we arranged ourselves on landing..Celebrity did not have this one advertised, as it is a bit primitive. All in all it was a great cruise with super amenities on this beautiful ship and many great activities, and the best of all virtually no unnecessary announcements at all times of the day. Would recommend it to anyone. The cruise director John was excellent as were his staff. In fact all the staff were very good, helpful and well trained.

Tiny Closet. Good Balcony with loungers. Across from crew space but were never bothered by this.
