Review summary

Loved the ship. Had a infinite veranda room. I think it will be a hit with some but not all. Celebrity really did a good job. Eden was a neat experience. The shows on board and overall entertainment was disappointing. They need to really step it up in that area.

We tipped our room attendant our first night. I was expecting a little better but our bathroom was never really cleaned very well

Ship Quality

Loved the ship and the martini bar. Magic carpet was fun

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I really liked our cabin but my spouse was not keen on the infinite veranda. Opening and closing the window worked well but was quite noisy at times.Design features were great.
