Review summary

My first east coast cruise. Enjoyable overall. We had good weather and saw the fall colors in Quebec. A little early for a full display.

Amazing service. As a vegetarian, my selections weren't as plentiful, but I had access to the MDR and specialties Indian food - which was really good. Even had some off menu item created.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We cruise celebrity a lot so we know what we are getting. Activities crew was good but not great.

Entertainment

Celebrity isn't know for its shows. Guest performers were enjoyable.

Service and Staff

Always amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Pleasantly surprised. The ship is due for refurbishing but everything was clean and in working order. Not as modern as other ships, but we really enjoyed the older vibe.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Sooo much storage! We had empty drawers. Two closet made for easy unpacking. Loved having a bathtub. Not the best location - under the buffet. You could hear carts rolling, but honestly didn't bother us.

Ship tip

Get a drink package.

Ports of call

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
Arrived a couple of days early and took a walking tour and ghost tour on our own. Nice and very walkable town.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

4 out of 5
Most things to see are an hour drive away. With limited time, you feel rushed. Didn't have any time in town.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

5 out of 5
Walked around on our own. Really clean and cute town.

Portland, Maine

4 out of 5
Walked around town. Lots of shopping and restaurants.

Quebec City, Quebec

5 out of 5
So much to do and see. Walked around on our one one day and took a taxi tour the next.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Retreat class has its perks, we were escorted straight off the ship when we were ready to leave.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. We were on the same cruise and had a fun time with excellent service. Did you see the Northern Lights on the last evening?
