Mixed bag

The pros...

1.   Great ship. Loved the indoor pool, especially on the day it rained. Loved the green lawn on the top of the ship. Went there to lay in the shade and enjoy a little quiet as there were not many people there. Restrooms are beautiful and kept very clean. Many nice cozy lounges with luxurious extremely comfortable couches and chairs.

2.   Excellent customer service throughout the ship. Our room steward was outstanding--the best we've had and this is our 4th cruise.

3.   It was very nice to be greeted with a glass of champagne upon boarding the first day.

4.   The silent disco was a lot of fun.

5.   The coffee was very good and a nice selection of teas.

6.    The shows in the theater were much better than the other 3 cruises we have been on which were not Celebrity.

Cons....

1.   Very bland food in the main dining room. My husband is not a professional chef but an excellent cook, and his cooking was much better. It seemed they ran out of salt, pepper and sugar in the kitchen. Sauces were tasteless as were the desserts. The vegetables which was steamed carrots and cauliflower was straight from the cafeteria which they had every night.

2.   Food was much better in the cafeteria, but they repeated most items for lunch and dinner.  Desserts were soggy and tasteless.

3.   Not enough onboard activities. Mostly it was just activities that involved selling you something.

4.   It rained the whole day we were in St Marteen, and it would have been nice if they had a Plan B of onboard activities planned for when it rains. Really there was nothing going on.

5.  A wonderful jazz quintet played one night only. The rest of the cruise they were playing with the backup band during the shows. Not really any live music going on in the lounges/bars except a guitar and singer.

6.   It was horribly annoying to always have them trying to sell you a drink package from the moment you step foot on the ship.
