Generally a fairly poor cruise that was ruined by nightime noise from crew deck below. We complained about being woken up by sounds of furniture being dragged across floors, banging of heavy objects & general noise. Nothing was done about it and incredibly on 1 night they had a staff party with singers, drums & guitars. This started at 11pm and went on until 2am. By this time we were taking sleeping pills to help us get some sleep - not what I want to do on a cruise.

Other bad points included woefully slow check in at San Diego [no such problems when we cruised from there last year with Holland America] & a problem with our keycard that would not allow us into our room for 24 hours. The front desk continually issued us with new cards telling us the problem was solved only for us to discover the problem still persisted. It took intervention form our cabin steward to realise the problem & call an engineer to fix the door lock. That was something that was beyond the front desk's capabilities.

The excursions are generally very poor [the Eco Cruise on Gatun Lake being the biggest waste of time & money]. The only highlights were driving the beach buggies in Cabo San Lucas and a private tour we booked in Cartagena [better & cheaper than Celebrity's]. Read more
