Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Could have been 5 star but service was inconsistent. 2 of the 4 main restaurants were consistently good the other 2 not very good. Le Petite Chef was excellent

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools good, Onboard activity’s just average

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Expecting this to be the best but it was about the worst experienced from 14 Celebrity Cruises. Technical difficulties were blamed for only seeing the onboard cast in 1 show in 10 days.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room Stuart very good. Bar staff and waiters on the whole very good

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Plenty of space although a lot seems to be waisted. Very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Size and comfort good. Storage badly designed. Not a balcony under any stretch of the imagination. Booked as an infinite verandaed but really an outside cabin with a large opening window. Not the same effect. If you want a balcony you now have to book a suite.
