We didn't know it before hand but this ship had alot older crowd, 65+ age group. But we choose this cruise based on the itinery and enjoyed ourselves greatly. The ship and workers were very friendly always smiling. Very clean ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We bought a 5 nite speciality package but to be honest if we had the time back we wouldnt have bought it. We enjoyed the dining room and buffet areas more. The speciality restaurants were disappointing to us. The workers were great and friendly, its just the food didn't keep me wanting to go back. It didn't meet my expectations. Although we loved our waiters in the dining room.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We did use the fitness centre, hot tub and spa pool area these were all great. We especially liked the covered relaxing spa pool area. Only problem was trying to get a chair to use. It seems people claim them and leave which isn't fair to others. The crew tried to control this but it didn't work. Other than that celebrity didn't have other activities at times it got boring cause there was no room left at the pool and there was no activities to do so we just walked around onboard. It's more of a relaxing cruise than an activities cruise. We still enjoyed ourselves. Not really sure why it's classified as a 5+ star cruise.

Solarium

4 out of 5

Loved the covered pool area. They called it the spa pool. Very peaceful and away from the loud pool area.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The shows were good. Loved the comedian and and Acrobat type show. Other than that the shows were lacking compared to other cruises we been on. We were really looking forward to some shoes on this ship knowing it's 5+ stars but we weren't impressed.

Celebrity Theater

3 out of 5

Lacking, nothing blew me away in the shows. The comedian was good we both liked him.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward kept our rooms clean and it was all done so fast, always had a nice word and smile from him, a very hard worker. Our waiters were very good as well couldn't ask for better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very nice lay out of the ship. We are not casino people but even the casino is smoke free so we didn't have to avoid it due to cigarette smoke or cigar smells.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Larger than usual inside cabin. Loved it. That was a big PLUS for us.

Ship tip

If you want to go to relax this is a great ship. There isn't much physical activities to do on this ship.
