I saw the reviews and the great information about Celebrity. Yet honestly for all I hoped were not met. The amenities on the ship were disappointing in that sheets were quite scratchy and the toilet paper was like sandpaper. Yet my review of the room attendant differs! Dinesh was awesome! The Dining Room experience was not what I had expected as well. The service was uneven along with cooked food. My steak was so chewy and full of fat, there was little to eat, my husband who ordered his medium well, came rare. All the posting about what was allowed in the dining room were clearly ignored by the staff as well as the passengers. Hats of every kind were worn, especially at breakfast, yet even in the dinner I saw two hats. There were faded jeans on the formal and casual nights. The entertainment was lacking. Yet I spoke with many crew members and even the Activities Director. The all shared the same thing. This a revenue generating ship, the activities are shopping on the ship. Had I have been informed that for 7 days straight that is pretty much all they would schedule, I would chose another ship. All the port information was only about where to buy things at the high end stores. There was no history of the locations we were going to see. The nightly Theater productions were just songs. There was not an actual show done on any of the nights. There was one comedian who was very funny! It rained 2 and 1/2 days, yet you shop, shop, shop, as nothing else was planned. The ship had I would say about 40% or more of younger cruisers and I heard and commented myself about the lack of entertainment. I do not believe I will ever cruise again. 4 days at sea with nothing to do, and port information terrible. No thank you. So many cruisers told me that Carnival and Royal Caribbean were so better on things to do on the ship. I saved my daily sheets and am bringing them into my cruise agent.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2C

Cabin 2C

The cabin was clean, yet the balcony showed a little wear. There was no light to be able to have dinner on the balcony. The bathroom was nice and had ample storage. The main room I wish had better storage. One side for hanging, the other side with shelves.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

We went to BlackBeard's Castle and then Meagan's Bay. The statues at BlackBeard's castle were very neat. Meagan's Bay was very crowded.
