Embarkation and disembarkation were excellent. Ship was boring. Basically a quiet ship by midnight. Only disc jockey at 1 or 2 locations after that. Casino was the worst I've seen in years. They were forced to lower table odds because on a few people were playing. Blackjack was awful. All shuffling machines except at $50 & $100. When no one was playing they made one $25 table without a machine. Only 2 players played so they closed all tables except $5 one by 11:00 most nights. All tables under $50 had 6 to 5 and no even money on blackjack. They had a $5 table that had a $25 max limit. Hard enough to win with proper rules. Now it's almost impossible. Players realize this and are not playing. Didn't see many hits on slots of any size. Shows were not up to par with shows seen on other cruise lines. This was a Caribbean cruise and there was no island music at all on the ship. There was only one deck party they basically has no theme. They basically played Zumba exercise music and the line dances were more like an exercise class. Grand foyer is poor area for any activities with limited places for viewing. Itinerary and 11 day length were really the only good parts of the trip. Service and food were up to Celebrity standards but menu is getting a little old.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2B

Cabin 2B

Decent veranda cabin. TV choices very limited. Free movies were limited to 5 and they weren't working. Basically ESPN and news networks.

Port Reviews

St. Croix

Spent day at new resort called The Fred. $35 dollars for 2 people to use pool, hot tub, towels. umbrella and beds. Short walking distance from dock. Great snorkeling. Limited beach with coral. Food next door. Bar on premises.

Antigua

Church beach was good

Barbados

Boat yard beach is always a great stop

St. Lucia

Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa was great. $85 per person for full use of resort, served lunch, half day use of float park and 3 drinks. Well worth it. Book on line for better price. Can't book from ship.
