Review summary

I realize that Celebrity suffered a lot financially during Covid, but Celebrity great are now gone, or cost extra. The Classic Beverage wine selection is pitiful. The staff, while still great, seem to be constantly on the run to keep up with the demand for their services.

Food and Dining

Persian Gardens

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The main stage shows haven’t changed in years, and we’re not as good as the older production shows. Comic was not funny, and we had 3 male singers in a row. The first one, The BGT’s winner was excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, the best part about a Celebrity cruise is the staff, in all areas. Our room steward Manoj, Blu waiter Vaibhau, assistant waiter Josephine and Som Alonah were all great.

Tour was good but ran long and we did not get to walk around the town

Quebec City, Quebec

5 out of 5
What a beautiful city! We did a 3 hour walking excursion and the guide, Ann, was excellent.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

4 out of 5
Not much in Sydney, but we took a music excursion that took place on the second floor of the terminal and it was fantastic!

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
Boardwalk area was great, many restaurants and shops. The Bicycle Thief restaurant was exceptional, as was the Maritime Museum.

Portland, Maine

5 out of 5
Same comments as Halifax regarding the Old Port area right off the ship. We went to DiMillo’s for lunch and it was wonderful.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Generally okay, but we had to wait for our van to the parking lot to make 3 round trips before we finally got back to our car.
