7 Day Southern Carib from San Juan (20-27 Feb). Actually liked Galaxy better than Millennium. Entire staff was pleasent and helpfull. Celebrity has moved to the top of the market. Lots of little added touched that make the whole experience great (Ice tea, lemmonaid around the pool, cold wash cloths when you re-board in ports, Champaign when you board etc etc etc.) Food was wonderfull, shows were the best I've seen on any ship. Pick Galaxy, you won't be dissapointed.

I prefer that class of ship over the M class myself. We love the Century and like you, we liked it better than the Millie. Glad you had a good cruise, so are you booking another one yet :lol

I was also on 2.20 Galaxy, had a great time!!! Very classy ship. Enjoyed guitar player Tony Petra....can't seem to get Hank Williams Jr. song "Family Tradition" out of my mind...he had a lot of requests to play that song and he honored all of his requests!! Only bummer was the talent show was cancelled due to not enough participants. Martini bar was excellent.

Just returned from the 2/20/04 sailing also,(Hi goldie)!
Can't say enough about our cruise. Compared to RCCL, I would pick "X".
I did not have any real complaints about RCCL but "X" is classier to me.
Service was excellent, as was the food. We only saw all of one show, a magician/comedy
act and really enjoyed him,(how did he get that $100 bill into that orange)?

Embarkation/Debarkation was seamless. Our time to leave the ship was 7:30 and we were off the ship by 7:40. Shore excursions were well organized and right on time.

Looking into an Alaska cruise next!!

I was actually looking into an Alaska cruise next, too!! lol!! How did you get such an early disembarkation? We had 9am.....got out a little later than that...but I must say embarking and disembarking was seamless, as you said. I wonder if we ever ran into each other? I didn't make it to the party...........I was at the 2nd Battle of the Sexes Game, though.

I have been on them all,, the Celebrity's are top notch. I like the C class ships, smaller, more quaint.

Try the Century and Galaxy.

Just returned from Galaxy South Caribb. 3/5-12. It was WONDERFUL! This is only my second cruise, but compared to my first on a carnival ship it was sheer Heaven! Only negative was that it was VERY WINDY and I'm told it has been the last couple of weeks in the Caribb so the ship moved a bit more than I like, but Seabands are wonderful things!! We were given a complementary upgrade from the deluxe oceanview to a premium veranda which really made us happy. I hear that doesn't happen often. From the time we got to the pier to the time we got off the ship the crew was absolutely wonderful and all so happy to help you. We were on the Vista deck, and our steward was Andrew Fernandes. He was extremely helpful and even retrieved our luggage from the original cabin on the panorama deck. The food was good (I'm a hamburger and pizza kind of gal!). Every port was great, and the weather was beautiful with a little rain at night. We liked St Kitts the best because it was so green and pretty. Took a horseback ride through the rain forest and though we couldn't walk for 2 days it was worth it just to see the scenery there. Parasailing in St Thomas was fun though I got a bit green from the bouncy boat!

We feel there just is no comparison between Carnival and Celebrity, and we are already planning our next year's cruise! Thanks everyone for the great tips!!
