This was our first Celebrity cruise, and we are now sold on Celebrity. We loved the ship, it was not too big, very easy to find our way. The Celebrity app on our phones helped with scheduling and navigating. We were in cabin 8293, and our friends were in 8295, so we were able to have the divider on our balconies opened up. Our cabin had plenty of space, and ample storage. We were close to the elevators. We only ate in the main dining room, and the food was fabulous! There was never a disappointment, and our waiter and assistant were wonderful. They anticipated our needs. I'm gluten-free, and they automatically had gluten-free bread for me, and advised on menu choices. The service on this ship is excellent! Our room steward was great. We enjoyed the entertainment and saw a great movie. There was a glass-blowing class, and a beautiful lawn on the top deck. We went to a presentation on Faberge eggs, and learned a lot about them. When we arrived in St. Thomas, our ship was bumped from the pier, so we had to tender in. This was an inconvenience, it took a long time to get off the ship. We didn't get off the ship in Punta Cana, since it would take a taxi ride to see anything. Nassau was in terrible shape, we were warned not to wear jewelry and watch our wallets. Sidewalks were missing bricks and you really had to pay attention to avoid tripping. We didn't feel safe. We took a sea and land tour of San Juan, and it was very informative, loved it. Embarkation was good, and we were greeted with glasses of champagne when we boarded. Disembarkation went fairly smoothly, just waiting for your number to be called. I would recommend this ship wholeheartedly.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 1C

Cabin 1C

Our cabin was spacious, and we had ample storage. The bed was comfortable, and we loved the veranda. The adjustable chairs on the veranda were great. The cabin was spotless!

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

We've been to St. Thomas before, so we just walked around and did a little shopping.

Nassau

The daily newspaper on the ship warned us not to wear jewelry and not take a lot of money to Nassau, also watch your credit cards. We really didn't feel safe, didn't spend a lot of time in the port.
