Review summary

Corazon was our room valet, and she was wonderful; excellent job. Dudley was our asst. waiter, and we loved him; beautiful smile, and so nice; did a great job...deserves to be a full waiter. Cyrel was our waiter and did a good job. Food was unbelievable...always good, and such a variety. Ship clean & sanitized. Room nice size and comfortable. /we joined our balcony with 2 other couples and enjoyed hanging out on it. We thought the evening shows were marginal. Two magicians, and they did 2 of the same tricks. We looked forward to a staff variety show, but there was none. Compared to other ships, the evening entertainment was definitely lacking. Woman singers were good. We loved the covered drink package, that was included, as was the tip package and $300 on board credit. Celebrity was extremely efficient in organizing passengers, esp getting on and off ship. Could not hear announcements in our room..had to go out in the hall. Liked the way the safety drill was handled. Al in all, a super trip.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Can't use enough exclamatory adjectives, it was so plentfiul,, and good and varied.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

we did not take advantage of many onboard activities, so can't really rate them.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

I already commented that this was the big disappointment on the cruise. We have seen fabulous programs on other ships and cruise lines. We really didn't like the phoniness of the cruise director, either. He was way over the top in fake enthusiasm. The two womnan singers were good, and I lied the movie, but it should have been shown at an alternate time, not as the main evening program.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

we took no children...very few on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We were actually in 7322 beside our friends in 2 adjacent cabins. so we had the partitions taken down between our balconies and enjoyed hanging out there together. Bathroom and room spacious enough...lots of storage if you use the shelving over the bed, too. Liked the spacious shower. Could use more counter space in bathroom. Heating & air worked well.
