This was a retirement cruise for us. Celebrity was highly recommended. We have been on two other cruises. This one topped the others without question. We will definitely choose Celebrity next time we cruise. Thank you for the quality control in every aspect of our experience. . . A forever memory that will always put a smile on our faces.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All the food was good and there were so many options. The La Petite restaurant was amazing! We have never experienced an animated meal. It kept us mesmerized. It was so creative and fun. The food and the service was delightful. We went twice! The BLU was also amazing. The decor was beautiful. The service was outstanding. The food was “to die for.” Amalia had a never ending smile and was very delightful. Hector was so accommodating and so nice. His personality was so enjoyable. He went out of his way to make everything special and personalized. Ekaterina was so nice and very attentive. We will remember Marites forever. When our choice of drinks weren’t available she tracked what we wanted down She was determined to make our experience perfect and personal. We can’t believe how above and beyond she went. The food melted in our mouths The BLU experiences will make us smile for a long time.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We went to every show. They were all so. Entertaining and captivating. Loved them!! We enjoyed the casino, shopping, and the diverse music throughout the ship. We talked about how we wished we would have been on the ship at least two nights because there were so many cool things to do that we didn’t have time to experience all of them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We were mesmerized by all of the shows. The talent of the performers was outstanding. The comedians were hilarious. Jessie Hamilton JR was brilliant, touching, funny and so talented. Celebrity obviously knows what people want for entertainment. We enjoyed every activity.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Matt was our room steward. He was so pleasant. His attention to detail was impressive. We couldn’t have asked for more. ALL of the ship’s personnel were gracious and accommodating. One suggestion we have is in regards to the bartenders. We noticed they were overworked. They were busting buns to try to keep up with the orders. I felt bad for them. They had to work so hard and fast it had to be hard to interact with people in the way the other servers do. For the pace they had to keep they did an amazing job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was squeaky clean in every nook and cranny. People everywhere maintaining things.
