Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 1C

This cruise was the fifth time with Celebrity, the fourth ship, and have to say the standard is consistent, we desperately want to try other cruiselines but Celebrity make it difficult. The ship was beautiful, we have sailed on Eclipse twice and Equinox is just as good. We usually visit three speciality restaurants but only one this time because the quality of the food and service in the Silouhette dining room was really good so we decided to stay there. We loved the two waiters Cyrel and Kevin and the Sommelier Alan so asked each night if we could sit at one of their tables. The lady at the dining room reception Corica had an extremely difficult task but managed to squeeze us in where we wanted each night ... brilliant service.

Alejandro the Cruise Director was on Constellation in July so we knew what to expect, he was even funnier this time because either his English is improving or we understand him better. Never had a problem with any CD but Alejandro is definitely number one.

The stateroom was perfect, we had one small issue that was rectified immediately, one measure relating to the quality of service is, in my opinion, how quickly a problem is dealt with and Celebrity excel in this area.

Port Reviews

Puerto Limon

Excellent guide and interesting places visited

Puerto Limon

Good guide boat and train trip very good, the bus was modern, clean and air conditionec

Colon (Cristobal)

We made a big mistake in not booking. Tour with the ship. We like to explore ports on our own usually by hiring a taxi however , we found this port and the people around to be extremely intimidating, take our advice and book a tour with the ship.

Belize City

The people were welcoming and helpful, had a great lunch at a reasonable price.

Cozumel

Too many shops of the same type selling the same things and extreme hassle from the shop owners.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Took a taxi into the City which is a beautiful walled city, the people were welcoming and really helpful. Taxi to the city cost $40 and only $20 for the return trip???

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

We shared a mini bus taxi with a family from the USA for $40 and taken to most of the places of interest including "Hell" "The Dolphin show" and Seven Mile Beach. It is a very nice island and probably our favourite.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Spent one evening and a morning in Fort Lauderdale it really is a beautiful place
