Review summary

Very nice paced cruise with two sea days at the front and the back end. The ports were all in a row. We had a concierge 2 balcony cabin which was very well appointed with plenty of room. Cabin stewart very attentive and not intrusive.

Food; main dining room offered a variety of items each day with great service.

We had purchased a four pack of specialty restaurants and had wonderful meals at Murano and Silk (Chinese). We chose not to eat at Tuscan grill or the Sushi. The buffet was also very good for breakfast and lunch choices. You needed to walk around to the different stations to see all the offerings. I did notice the reduction in the staffing, as to cleaning the tables, passing extra coffee, and bar service was way less than previous sailings. The onboard entertainment was varied with comedians, singers, Frankie Valli type group  (December '63) who were excellent, and the usual cruise singers and dancers production type shows.  "The Corning Glass demonstrations were fantastic and the ladies who were the glass blowers were very informing. Embarkation  was very delayed due to US Coast Guard ship inspection, so we sat an hour and a half before they would let us board. Disembarkation was very quick and painless. All in all, a great cruise and would sail Celebrity again.
