Review summary

Ship was incredible. Celebrity needs to get staff filled, as it shows. Food was subpar, like they are afraid to make the flavors strong. .

Embarkation

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Ship was full capacity, but we were constantly reminded that they were short staffed, and it showed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Design is beautiful. Layout is haphazard, with shops over several areas. They even had to note in elevators that certain places could be best accessed on another deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was huge. Ample room to store bags. Balcony was well appointed with 2 chairs, table and 2 loungers. Room steward did good job keeping it clean. Just the tub alone is major to clean twice a day.

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5
Flew in 3 days early to experience Amsterdam. Had great weather. Bought 3 day metro passes, as our hotel was a 5 minute walk from station. Recommend coming in early to experience this beautiful city.

Molde, Norway

5 out of 5
Did the 8 hr cable car and Norway experience. Trip was fantastic, but tour guide was terrible. She did not inform us of changes when she received them. Our lunch was moved from 12 to 2, but she didn’t tell us until 1:30

Alesund, Norway

4 out of 5
Dis another cable car at a ski lodge. Great views and waffles for us at the bottom of the lift.

Flaam, Norway

5 out of 5
Stunning town. Ship literally bigger than town. Took the train. Again, poor tour guide not giving correct info.

Stavanger, Norway

5 out of 5
Did the lysefjord cruise. Boat went deep into cove and pulled up to waterfall so crew could get water for us to taste.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
In the Retreat lounge for departure. Concierge walked us down to our bags and got us to bus.
