Entertainment on this ship was top notch. The house band Cavoti Brothers rocks and will have you up and dancing. If you don’t dance, you will be thoroughly impressed just watching the lead singer. He is very energetic and fun to watch! The comedian, Jamal, was excellent. His delivery is outstanding! Don’t miss his late show at 10:45 pm! The casino is very nice. The host Renee is an absolute sweetheart. Casino is very crowded at night and stays crowded til the early morning hours. Try visiting on sea days in the morning.
Embarkation

We arrived at the port around 11:00 for our 11:30 embarkation. We got right on the ship with no lines and no wait time whatsoever.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We don’t really like to adhere to a schedule while on vacation so we do eat in the buffet a lot. The buffet food was very good. The seafood extravaganza on the last sea day at noon was very good.
We had no dining reservation but stopped at Cypress one night at 7:30 and got a table for 2 immediately. The service was excellent! Lobster tail was delicious! We were in and out within an hour, which I love.

Entertainment
5 out of 5
We absolutely loved the house band Cavoti Brothers. They played at the pool, the Grand Plaza and The Club. The energy and talent from the lead singer was amazing. He truly put on a great show every time he was on stage. The band is fabulous. Dance floor was hopping every time they appeared.
By far, the best band I have seen in more than 20 cruises!
The Club
5 out of 5
Go see the house band do their rock show in this venue. It was so fun and entertaining! It was a late show but I had no problem staying awake for this one. This venue makes you feel like you’re in a fabulous nightclub.
The Theater
3 out of 5
Get there at least half an hour early. Too many guests on board for this size theater!!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All I can say is Fabulous! Celebrity always hits it out of the park with the best service of any cruise line! The service in Cypress was exceptional. I cannot say enough about Mature, Yolanda and Anastasha. They were perfection!!!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is absolutely stunning. The only negative I believe is that the theater is not large enough to accommodate the amount of passengers on board. I literally sat on the floor to watch the comedian, Jamal. I wasn’t the only one sitting on the floor. If you don’t arrive half an hour early, don’t bother going. I believe this speaks to the amazing talent the ship has. The shows definitely draw a crowd unlike some of the older ships we’ve been on where the theaters are only half full many times.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Our cabin was, of course, beautiful and new! This is the first time in 20 cruises we really didn’t like our cabin location. It was too far forward and away from everything. Great exercise, but I was ready to go home at the end of the cruise. Porthole balcony was the smallest balcony I’ve ever seen. I didn’t like the porthole and we had the window cleaning machine in front of us. We do not recommend this cabin location. Counter space in the bathroom is non-existent.
Ship tip
Arrive at theater half an hour early for your show
