This was our first celebrity cruise having always been with Royal so it was interesting to compare the two. Thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, made all the better as we had some great weather
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Extremely fast and easy - we were aboard in less than 15 mins
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate mostly at the buffet (mainly for speed as there was always something we wanted to do/go see!! We ate in Cosmopolitan a couple of times and had dinner at La Petite Chef which was great fun
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We didn’t take part in any activities but enjoyed watching those who did! We watched the archery, dance classes, trivia, game shows etc - the entertainment team were fabulous and good fun
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Crystalise was my favourite show - amazing. The Eden cast were all super talented too. Comedian was very good and the opera singers were fantastic. The ship musicians were all very good but I felt they weren’t allowed to shine as we have seen on other cruises. It was almost “background “ music in the Martini Bar at times but I realise that was probably because the clientele were slightly more mature and wouldn’t want it too loud. Personally I missed a real drum kit rather than an electronic kit !
Children's Programs
No children
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room steward was great, officers etc were all very friendly and visible throughout the ship. Cruise director Lewis did a super job, entertainment team worked very hard. On the whole the waiters and bar staff were all very friendly/ attentive with a couple of exceptions
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship is beautiful with some lovely touches, well maintained throughout. The cleanliness was good throughout but the one thing that really disappointed me were the amount of fellow passengers who wandered into the buffet straight past the hand washing stations and hand sanitizer. There was no “washy washy” person either which might have helped “remind “ them!!!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
First time in an interior cabin and I was a bit apprehensive about it but I can honestly say I didn’t really miss the balcony too much. Cabin was spacious and comfortable, I would have no hesitation in booking again
Thanks for your review. We just got off the ship in Southhampton and enjoyed it like you did (minus Norway, darn). Glad you had a feabulous cruise like we did. Oh so nice!
