we are primarily princess cruisers, first time with celebrity. we were impressed and very satisfied with our trip. we tended to compare everything with what we have experienced with princess. we cruised on the eclipse. it is a very easy ship to navigate. cabin was the usual balcony setup. we thought the food on the food court was great. plenty of choices and it changed on a regular basis. cabin steward was the best we have ever had,,and we have cruised a bunch !!! the bella river duo was my favorite musical act on the ship. they were a pleasure and we tried to hear them once or twice a day.the perk package they are offering at the moment is a great deal !!

the classic drink package is quite a bargain if you like a drink or 3. I mark them down in one area only. getting off the boat is quite chaotic. I prefer princess big time over X. evidently the tags they use are not too good. a lot of people lost tags which means looking at a lot of bags on the 3 different carousels.

for the most part,,the excursions were great. only negative was the zip line. its about a hundred bucks and for that we got 5 wires ! the guised are great and the scenery at the old sugar plantation is marvelous,,but there are just not enough wires to justify the trip. swimming with the green sea turtles and interacting with stingrays,,GREAT !!!
