Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food - Breakfast -mainly buffet but also tried dining room and room service. Lunch - again, mainly used buffet. I think Celebrity’s lunch buffet is by far the best of all cruises we’ve taken. Dinner - not sure I like the 4 dining rooms set up. I prefer having a consistent staff each night Bars - disappointed with the inconsistency across the various bars throughout the ship

The Sunset Bar

1 out of 5

I don’t know what was going on here but the drinks were not good at all. After 2 visits, I avoided this bar entirely

The Martini Bar

4 out of 5

This venue had the best drink menu but it was hard to get good service as it was always packed in the evening hours.

Café Al Bacio

5 out of 5

Delicious sweet treats and specialty coffees. The service here was excellent

Eden Restaurant

5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Celebrity needs to step up their entertainment - the theater shows were boring. The shows in the Club and Eden were the best

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All staff were courteous and helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship - the artwork incorporated all around the ship was unique and interesting

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Personally, I love the new balcony design. It makes the room seem much larger. And the light blocking blinds are fabulous.

Ship tip

Be prepared to wait for bar service - it was always slow

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Somewhat lacking in communication. Possibly because we carried off our own luggage but there was no direction .. we just followed the crowd
