Review summary

Nice cruise. Really good food. Overcrowded on sea days. It was nearly impossible to get chairs around the pool decks because the ship was very crowded. It was more crowded than we expected for Celebrity. The food was quite good everywhere and the premium restaurants were very good. The house entertainment was okay overall, but only the professional celebrities were really good. The TV channel selection in the rooms was very limited (news or sports), which was frustrating at night. The logistics of embarkation, muster and debarkation all went very smoothly and professionally. We had a very negative incident where the rooftop garden restaurant ignored our son's egg allergy and served him a s'mores desert that had eggs in it. we had very clearly told them before the meal that he was allergic to eggs (they had actually asked). he got very sick to his stomach. the staff was apologetic once they realized what they had done, but no one offered us anything to compensate. in retrospect, we should've complained more at the time and demanded that at least his meal charge be removed. it was a serious oversight on your part that could've been very dangerous if his allergy was more severe.

main dining rooms, buffets and restaurants were very good. we did have one issue where the restaurant ignored our son's allergy to eggs.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools, trivia, bingo, a few shows. They were all good, but not great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The professional celebrity artists were very good. The ship's house band was not particularly good. Their voices were off key and had uninspired musicianship.
