Review summary

The cruise was great, we met so many nice people and made longtime friends. The crew were so friendly and helpful. The ship is really nice. I can't wait to cruise on the Celebration again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It took longer because being the first cruise they had a Ceremony before they let anyone board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We only ate in the Main Dining room once. There are many specialty restaurants that we went to multiple times. The food was very good where we ate.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Well I finally rode Bolt the roller coaster, It was a big thrill. I also finally did the rope course which I was very scared at times. Not sure if I would do it again (I am 67 years old)

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were fantastic especially the new Circus show. The musicians were also amazing. and comedy (PG) ones were funny.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was good. At times it was slower than normal, but it was a new ship for a lot of them and they were still finding their way around. The staff are always fantastic very friendly and accommodating.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I do love the design of the ship, The food areas are spread out throughout the ship so it doesn't feel crowded. The crew are always cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The balcony cabin is very comfortable there is plenty of room for the 2 of us. The bathrooms are smaller than the older ships, but I do like the glass shower doors.

Ship tip

Do the Your Time dining so you have an opportunity to utilize the specialty restaurants.

So, if you have an assigned dining time you can't go to the specialty restaurants?
