My wife and I chose to sail with Celebrity again based on the itinerary and our previous positive experiences with with Solstice class ships. We LOVED Dubrovnik but could do without Toulon, France. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly, attentive, and professional.

13 nights is a lot of entertainment but only 2-3 of the shows were actually impressive.

Love the Aquaclass suites.

Ship tip

Since the spa has been taken over by Canyon Ranch the prices have literally doubled...for everything. If you can hold off until later in the trip you'll see better deals available. For example, you'll get an 80 minute massage for the price of the 50 minute price.

Ports of call

Istanbul, Turkey

5 out of 5
Instead of the first night being docked overnight they left at 11pm that first night due to security concerns. We arrived 3 days early to enjoy the city and we felt very safe.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
Ephesus is a must see

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
Don't go to the ship-promoted beaches. Take a local shuttle or taxi (20 euros) to Paradise beach. It's 15 minutes away and has bars/restaurants and all amenities.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece
