Review summary

The ship is in amazing shape but still needs to take some time off for a refresh of public areas and staterooms. It is long overdue. I did have to reassemble a drawer in my room in order to use it. The room itself is very well laid out and the bed was far larger than I expected. The extra large balcony was huge and high and allowed me time arrive from jurassic park out in the public areas. Most of the passengers are not just "older" they are "old." That is okay, but be aware that Celebrity itself knows that and programs towards it. The majority of your meals will be okay, but there will be a distinct lack of things that the elderly do not like, like salt, seasoning, and apparently high temperature. Do not leave at the last minute for something because you will be slowed down by folks with walkers and their old kids running interference for them. And this being a cruise out of New York/New Jersey (no real difference) the majority of folks will be from there, so set your expectations for that behavior. So in short, get a balcony and have no guilt about using it. When you come out, the ship and the amazing crew will take care of you.

Beautiful, just beautiful

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Bermuda really outdid themselves, the Dockyard area is the best of any port area I have ever visited. Lots of unique things to do and see while limiting the same ol' stuff the other ports seem to have. Transportation options are amazing. The historic architecture of the entire place is breathtaking, from the ground and the ship. The water-based activities are within crawling distance of the cruise ship. The dockyard tram is the best idea ever at a port, and it even comes to the boat itself.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
You have to be out of the room by 7:30 yet my disembarkation number was not called until 9:40. Brutal. It was quick when it happened, but we were moving around as the crew closed off areas to us.

So, I’m almost 68. Does that qualify as “old”? Will I fit in? 😂
