Review summary

Strange ship, that grew on me. awsome theater with the best shows I've seen. musicians around the ship seemed hamstrung by a "chill vibe"

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent. I was confused about the time, I showed up at the pier and it was deserted, no porters, no people just me and my cab , thankfully they had just enough people in the terminal to check me in

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
food was good, not great, but not bad. it was very confusing to me what was included and what was a specialty restaurant

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I enjoyed an outdoor movie, trivia, slot tournament and several other things... good sea days

Entertainment

4 out of 5
the production shows were a good as any I've ever seen on a cruise. I hate deducting two stars but the live musicians around the ship were too talented to play the monotonous play list they did, lots of lounge-ee "do you know the way to San Jose" type music. The night of our port day they had thier "B" entertainers all over the ship. The live music around the ship is so important to me on a cruise I may not be going on celebrity again.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It's a really cool ship... It is different. I'll admit it grew on me but a strange cruse ship in a good way. I loved the magic carpet

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
the balcony or "verandah" is a completely enclosed little sun room with a switch that lowers the upper half of the window... it squeaked the whole way down and up... not a big deal... little wierd

Ship tip

The theater is a game changer. the backdrop of the theater is a 120 degree, 22 foot high 17 million pixel screen. Any thing from photos to video or computer generated graphics can appear behind the performers. the possibilities are unlimited! I think some other cruise lines have this technology but it was the first time I've seen it. We saw two amazing shows... Tree of Life and Crystalize

Ports of call
