Review summary

Very good itinerary. Nice new ship and very spacious. Some area very disappoint especially infinite veranda. Magic carpet brilliant for tender operations.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very good efficient embarkation better than any other ships

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.

Ship tip

Don’t expect a balcony unless you have booked a suite. Also a lot of the top deck is for suite passengers only.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Good port. No excursion

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Easy to get around. Very pretty

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Excellent except for demonstrations. Lots to see and do.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

5 out of 5
Great. Casino well worth a visit

La Spezia, Italy

2 out of 5
Spent 2 days here because we couldn’t get into Santa Margarita. Very disappointing

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and easy.

We booked a Sunset Verandah for our upcoming Edge cruise. Not a suite (way too pricey) and terrific views of the wake.
