Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We were in a suite so used Luminae and for speciality dining roof top grill, Eden, Le Voyage. We also used eden cafe at lunchtime. All of the food quality was exceptional with great service. Didnt notice any supply issues or reduction in quality from past sailings on Celebrity.

Le Voyage by Daniel Bould

5 out of 5

We went twice. Beautiful quiet romantic venue. Ist time went a la carte and loved the food and service. Nice complimentary glass of veuvre cliquot and little treats. The second time we had the tasting menu. It was fantastic. More courses but each was smaller so didnt overwhelm us. The somellier matched us wines from our premium package.The little madelines and chocolates were a delicious finale! Expensive but we though the tasting menu worth it and the best option for usThe only VERY MINOR negative was the zelous explanation of everthing on our plates...a problem I think if you were in a large group!

Eden Cafe

5 out of 5

Lovely ourdoor terrace. Sandwiches freshly made with a selection of salads and sides.Drinks available from the bar. Fresh fruit cookies and cakes also available.

Entertainment

A lot going on and good quality. The stage production shows were exceptional. Some of the music on board was a bit dated.. Time to move on from the beatles and rolling stones!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service was absolutely excellent all over the ship. We didnt notice any shortcomings at all. If they were short staffed or if there were supply issues we didnt notice. There were an few passengers who we observed treating crew pretty badly. They were demanding in the extreme and to be honest pretty embarrassing. I thought crew and officers handled them with remarkable patience and calm!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is absolutely stunning. Modern, spacious and the remodelling of the sunset var gas provided an outstanding ourdoor venue. We loved the little staircase from the destinatipn gateway to the martini bar and speedier access to the aft elevators. Well thought out!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We loved our room. Layout was perfect nice ourdoor space. There was some slight sound from Eden below which we noticed a couple of nights...but we were usually out so no problem for us.

Ship tip

Download the app. Use it on board to control lights temperature tv etc in your room. When you sail it gas your daily programme on it. Explore the ship and locate all the venues especially access to Eden! Some on our sailing didnt find it till the end of our cruise! If you want to dine at Edem restaurant book before sailing as it was full booked.

Glad to hear you had a great experience. We are looking very forward to this ship when it arrives in the states, we sail in November in a Sky suite. Sailed on Edge last September and fell in love with Celebrity.😊
