My family had a really good time on this cruise. The experience was made even better by the friendly and very personable staff that Celebrity employs.

Embarkation

Very efficient just wished everyone smiled more. Felt like we were being hurdled like cattle through a maze. This was our first impression being first time cruisers.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We went to a detox class-very Informative. We went to the Equinox Theater for a medley on theater music which was excellent. Only went to the pool 2 times had a hard time getting lounge chairs, would have went more if the seating was readily available. Enjoyed the Disco DJ that was fantastic. I wish that had happened more times on the cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the DJ that played disco music-that was by far the best dance night. The Sweet Criminals was a good band. Really enjoyed the medley of Broadway's hits that were sung at the Equinox Theater. The female with the dark hair was outstanding!

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

Our bartenders were excellent!! Never had to wait and they always had good suggestions for new cocktails that were delicious. Gusti was one of our excellent bartenders! Joseph in the Oceanview Cafe was such a ray of sunshine always greeting us with a smile! Our waitstaff in Silhouette Restaurant were fantastic...they made the whole dining experience so wonderful. Our wine sommelier Arlyn made sure that my wine was always refilled at dinner. She was so nice and friendly. Without a doubt Fernando, Valcin, Sergio made our dining experience the absolute best! They never complained when we would ask them to go the extra mile an take a picture of my group at dinner. We even asked them to join in with us!
