After a horrible booking experience with RCL (we lost $750 due to a dishonest RCL cruise planner!) we decided to try Celebrity and now we are hooked for life. The service, food, amenities and entertainment were all top notch. We know that Celebrity is a subsidiary of RCL but had a vastly superior experience than our prior RCL sailing. My wife and I traveled with our 19 yr old son and he had a great time as well. Our concierge service was outstanding. The fruit and canapés delivered to our cabin each day was very welcoming and appreciated. This was the most relaxing cruise we’ve ever been on. We had a premium restaurant package for three nights and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. It was a nice change from the main dining room. Murano, Tuscan Grill and Silk Harvest were outstanding. Our itinerary took an unexpected change from San Juan when a passenger needed emergency medical attention and we diverted to Nassau. My son was disappointed because we booked a Bacardi tour. As far as Nassau goes: been there, done that and not enough time in port to take a trip to Paradise Island. We just walked around the main shopping district. St. Thomas and St. Maarten were great beach days. The fitness facilities were first class. We now love Celebrity Cruise lines!

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 3

Cabin C3

Very good cabin although the balcony view was blocked by the ships bridge. Being in the forward most cabin we felt the ship movement more but it was not unpleasant. It was quiet and relaxing being in concierge class. Our concierge Max was fantastic. He attended to our every need.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

We took an open air group taxi ride to Magans Bay. The beach was stunning. Get there before noon! It will get packed as the time comes in.

St. Maarten

We took a cheap water taxi to Great Bay Beach, rented chairs, umbrella and got free drink service and WiFi for $35 for the three of us. Gilbert, our beach attended was great! The rum punch and Presendente beer was flowing.
