Review summary

This is the 11th cruise I have taken and the first on Celebrity.  Overall it was a good experience.  The service was outstanding and the crew made every experience extra special. 

The food was good but not great, I have had better food on other lines however nothing was bad.  We ate at 2 of the specialty restaurants and while they were good I did not think they were worth the high cover charge.  We had the premium drink package and it made things very easy and I was not shocked my a huge bill at the end of the 2 weeks.

The only complaint I have about this ship was the bed, it was hard and rutted.  I spoke with my room steward who did all he could to add a few layers of padding however it was still very difficult to sleep.  Since I paid a fair amount for a concierge level balcony I was hoping for a better sleep experience as the Celebrity description stated.   I have been a regular cruiser on Princess and enjoy their new bed's as getting rest is very important to me while on vacation.

I was so very happy with the atmosphere on the ship, I never felt as if I was being badgered to spend more money at every turn as with other lines.  I appreciate that there is still an old style of cruising available, thank you Celebrity.
