Review summary

I booked this as my "cruise of a lifetime". Now I'm hooked and will return to Celebrity again and again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining room experience was overall very good. It is quite a feat to feed a 5 star meal for 750+ in less than a 2 hour period. They did the best they could and the varying menu selections were terrific.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The main entertainment events were somewhat lacking at times based on my experience on other cruiselines.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

After only one visit to any one of their many specialty bars the staff remembered our names each time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I booked my cruise last minute and it was not until after I was committed that I heard from so many of my friends that either they had personally been on this ship or knew someone who had. I guess I lucked out because everyone I heard about had wonderful things to say and I felt the same from beginning to end of my cruise!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I knew that by booking a suite we would have a larger stateroom than on previous cruises. That was an understatement. I am now afraid that I have spoiled myself for future

Ports of call

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

3 out of 5

Good shopping if that's what you are there for.

Don't Miss: Hiring a taxi on your own once in port was much more reasonable but they are quite the salesmen once you are in their cab

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5

I did not see any of Naples because I had a 10 hour excursion to Capri and Pompeii. I was sorry to miss the city but Pompeii was definitely worth it. It gave me chills! While Capri was one of the most picturesque places I have ever been, I did not have enough time there to get a good feel of it and it was far too expensive for shopping.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5

The city was surprisingly run down but of course the Acropolis is a do not miss. It gave me chills.
