The evening entertainment was outstanding night after night. The live orchestra was also fantastic and added much to the performances. Our cabin was comfortable with a sofa in front of the television. We chose a cabin with an obstructed view but still the view was more than adequate and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony weather permitting. The dinner menu seemed bland to me. The pastas and Indian dishes offered more flavor and spices. The service in the Moonlight Sonata was excellent as well as in our cabin. If you want to make the most of the ports, you need to do your homework. Even when you take the ship's tours, you are not necessarily told about sights of interest that you can see during your free time. If you decide to do the port yourself, you receive minimal information while on the ship. All in all we had a very good time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
To many bland dishes on the dining room menu in the evening. I ordered an entree that I think said Cajun or at least New Orleans inspired but it had no spices/seasonings on it. I mostly ate Italian or Indian entrees. Disappointed that we could not get anytime dining.
Onboard Activities

Loved the lectures. My husband enjoyed the casino.
Entertainment

Entertainment was outstanding: Jayne Curry was our favorite followed by The MacDonald Brothers, Laura Brand, Davie Howes, Stevie B, Izabella Zebrowska, Steve Larkins. The band is wonderful. Keep using live music.
Service and Staff

Ramon and Vitaly did a great job of keeping our cabin clean and stocked with necessities. Both were very pleasant. We enjoyed Eddie-the cruise director. His "10 things about" series was interesting and great fun.
Ship Quality

I liked having a sofa in our cabin. Much better than having to sit on the bed all the time.

I like having the sofa. Much better than sitting on bed. Room was bigger than I anticipated.
Ship tip
Go to the evening shows. Do your homework re tours and sights of interest.
I wish the staff had given us directions to the train station and told us about the boat to the CInque Terre. More info should be offered about seeing the port on your own. Monterosso is beautiful.
The Sintra tour guide left us across the street from the National Plalace but did not identify it or tell us we could tour it. All she told us about was shopping. The Celebrity information did not say it could be toured either. I still enjoyed Lisbon/Sintra despite the tour.
Hi! We've only cruised Carnival but love the ports of a Celebrity cruise scheduled for February of 2017. Is Celebrity an "older crowd?" We are a young, dancing 70 and 80.
