Bahamas Celebration Review
Rating by category
Additional details
The embarkation process was quite a breeze, we checked-in and turned over our room luggage to go thru a scanner. The guy that we checked in with was quite a character, he joked with us and got us into a "Celebration" mood! Once our luggage had gone thru the scanner we were cleared to take our carry-on luggage and go thru security screening. That took all of 30seconds. Next we went to a table and the lady checked over our preboarding documents and then sent us over to a teller station to have give them our credit documents and passport so that they could give me my room key.
Next we went thru and had our embarkation photo taken, and then made our dinner reservations. It was not manditory to do so and no one called us over or pushed us to make them. I choose to wait and then stepped up to the counter and went ahead and did it. I am glad we did; we had the choice of 6 or 8pm and the Cove or the Rio. You could eat at both on different nights or the same one both nights. We then passed by a table for the spa; they gave us a brochure and told us the discounts we could get if we booked our appts. right then. My friend and I decided to wait, but we knew we wanted to book an appt for different services, we just didn't know which ones yet. There was just one last stop we had to make and that was to give the captain a copy of our embarkation form and double check it with our passport.
When we got on the ship we a porter our cabin number and he took us and our carryon luggage up to our cabin to settle in. Our cabin was 5108. It had two upper and two lower bunks. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of room we had in there. My friend and I could both be standing by our bed and not feel crowded. We had port hole windows that did not open, which was a bummer, but we could at least look out! The bunks were very comfy and the comforters on them were quite comfy too! The thing I was not too impressed with was that to open the door to our cabin was quite difficult, and you had to step over a step to get in and you had to step up to go into the bathroom. The bathroom was quite small, no bigger than an airplane bathroom that had a shower added at the last minute. The ship is also not on American wattage, but you can get a converter from the Information desk. You can also borrow a curling iron and a straightener from them.
Cabin Review
We were in cabin 5108. It was small but not tiny, we had plenty of room to move around. The bathroom was tiny, comparable to an airplane lavatory. We had a tv; which I didn't think we were going to get, and it had local channels, not previously taped programming that was fed in. The door was hard to open, and the bathroom door was hard to pull away from the wall. You have to step over a step to get into the room and step up to get into the bathroom.
