Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffets were better than dining room. Anytime dining had food quality problem. Service was great Steak restaurant was much better than other dining room.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Fitness center was nice but used it once because tread mills were not usable until 0800. Seem cabins under tread mill would received to much noise. Pools were nice but hot tubs were worthless, not hot, just warm.

Enjoyed the shows.

Children's Programs

no kids with us.

Very clean with enough room for price paid.

Ship tip

If you dislike cigarette smoke don't take this ship. Bad smell in the casino and most of areas around it, central area on floors 5, 6 and 7 was bad.

We did encounter some smoke smell in the casino but that was the only area on the CP. Our anytime meals were perfect and the hot tubs seemed hot? Sorry you had a bad experience.

The Speak easy room is next to the casino and people smoke in there, when we were on her we stayed away from there.

"Smoke free" is near impossible. Celebrity is supposed to be the best controlled non-premium line
