Review summary

Loved the relaxation of the long amount of sea days. Loved the older crowd on board with no riff raff and the quiet. Loved the November sailing from cold in Barcelona to going south to the warm. Would like it if there was a trip that went to Morroco or african ports and then transatlantic to south America.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate in Blue and the staff was amazing!! We ate in Muranos and the lobster cooked at the table was excellent, Tuscany was also a surprise and treat and wonderful, did not like the the new Quisine and could not find a reason to go back disappointed that the old one quisine did not continue - one of the reason we were excited to go on this ship

Onboard Activities

Did not like Lanzarote too much or Cartegenga Loved Rio. Santos was not so good either I would have preferred to have a 2 day port day there in order to do the Sao Paulo excurion.

Thank you for the detailed review. I am sailing on Celebrity for the first time and this information really helped. If you could only choose one specialty dining on the cruise, which would you recommend?

How did the cruise line deal with the Brazilian visa issue?
