Review summary

Suite 2119 - warning, the buffet is right above the deck 12 suites and u hear chairs moving a lot,.Sshout out to Butler Gordana brings all room service food and also canapés at 530 plus anything else you request, very hard working and always ready to please. 😠😠warning -wish bed was bigger, just a standard full cruise size 😑😑Suite guests had a separate lounge ‘Michaels’ could get fancy coffee all day or any kind of coffee or drinks. High tea was served at 330 with tiny sandwich’s and desserts yummm. Food-luminae for suites, had a gourmet hamburger with truffle fries, waffle with fresh berries yumMMM best steak ever good flavor very tender,,, Most foods had a good seasoning flavors but a few were bland. Main dining room -excellent service, lots of waiters, don’t have to wait for food. Warning ⚠️ Murano specialty restaurant overpriced and not worth the extra $50 per person,, Dinner -main dining , daily menu had escargot , Caesar salad, chicken and steak served as daily choice plus 4 speciality entrees each nite, good breadsticks, and good fish selections always fresh,, The Buffet for lunch and breakfast - B grade, good variety, had lox and bagels and blue cheese daily, which u cannot find on most ships. Last day has a mega desserts selection with chocolates fountain . Entertainment - average, comedians, some singers, 3 production shows only C grade. Variety Music every nite in main atrium with dance floor, don’t miss the silent disco , everyone has headphones and u listen to 3 different channels , it’s a blast watching and dancing too . Usual shopping, last two days have pop up sales, with the best prices, - [ ] Casino - had some good luck, won my money back. Which is very rare on ships, also, one nite had free drinks for players,, Persian garden extra $$: spa room had 8 heated lounge chairs but can get crowded, gym had treadmills with tv, usual variety of equipment also crowded on sea days. Beautiful solarium, with padded lounge chairs , beds and hammock plenty of pool towels, don’t have to hunt for towels like on most ships.. Aqua spa cafe in solarium had a variety of self serve salads in small bowls, great to sample at lunch time. A separate gelato and gourmet dessert bar/ coffee bar for extra $$, for a gourmet treat desserts. This was a more adult type of cruise, not many kids. Very friendly staff , will definitely cruise celebrity soon😀
