Review summary

I was so looking forward to the evening sushi in the Oceanview Café (buffet) and had told so many friends about it. I was so disappointed they didn't have it, but had a sushi restaurant I didn't use.  Celebrity has struggled with that space and they should use it as a Captain's Club area.  I am surprised how many people I speak with that don't realize the benefits of the Captains Club.  If they designated it as the Captain's Club Celebrity could offer a free drink/cruise for Classic members (yes, top shelf), two three free drinks for Select members, along with appetizers such as shrimp, cheese, spreads with baguette slices, etc.  Please pass this on to Celebrity as it was a huge disappointment.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

In the Silhouette, try having a a gourmet hamburger, for instance hamburger, swiss cheese, mushrooms, truffle aioli and truffle fries. I think it would be a hit. Dessert tends to be a bit tasteless, although the apple crisp was wonderful. My husband had lava cake in the Silhouette one night and it was about 1.5 in square. The scoop of ice cream was bigger!!

Onboard Activities

I was looking forward to playing bingo and having a drink during the game (a memory from a Princess cruise), but the least expensive bingo game was $49 and it was in the Celebrity lounge so thought drinks would not be served.

Ship Quality

One reason I enjoy Celebrity - the ship is immaculate and there are no chips in the wood or spots on the carpet, etc. Very well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very, very clean. One thing is that we had to ask the cabin steward to bring us ice at 4:00pm.. We are usually tired and want a refreshment upon returning from an excursion. Other than that, our cabin was excellent - so clean - there was nothing that was worn and all was spotlessly clean. Our cabin steward worked very, very hard to assure everything we need was attended to.

Ship tip

You can ask anyone anything - the customer service is excellent!!
