Galveston to Mexico on the Celebration
By:  Pat McTigue

 My wife & went on this our third cruise & had a great time.  I have read other reviews on this ship/cruise & obviously some people just can't be pleased. Our food & wait staff was outstanding; best food we've had on a cruise ship. The old ship needs a little TLC, but travels full almost every cruise. The cruise director "Dave" is a hoot. He helps make the small rough things go away. Even greeted several of us in Cozumel while shopping to give us some assistance. Cozumel was exactly as expected, having been there before; great snorkeling. Calica (?) is not much of a port, but you get off & go do your thing, no big deal. We went to Xcaret & it was beautiful, just not enough time to see it all. Great food at this park, also. Overall, it was a great time, with the biggest disappointment being Galveston's cruise faciilty. It needs some real help; access, parking, traffic, etc. I recommend this cruise for both new & seasoned cruisers.
