Review summary

We booked this cruise 3 years ago. It was so worth the wait. Relaxing yet so much wonderful entertainment and things to do all day. Crew is over the top great. Customer service top notch. Beautiful islands. So glad we did it!! And…we have cruised many other cruise lines. And I think Celebrity just became #1

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless! Arrival time 11-11:30 am. Got there at 11, on the ship at 11:30. So nice to be able to go to our cabin right away. Got our Sea Passes and done! Luggage arrive by 2 pm. Fastest ever!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dined at Tuscan-good but not great. Too much olive oil , but that is true Italian . Others loved it. Just a personal preference. LaPetit-WONDERFUL! We had the family story. Food, show amazing!! A must do! Main dining- wonderful. Many choices. Very elegant dining room. Our waiters Gede and Mohammed kind, knowledgeable. Just a pleasure each night!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Much to do all day and evening. We enjoyed just relaxing at the pool. But there were lectures, activities, trivia -all day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
12 night cruise with 12 stellar shows! Jason Lyle Black, a pianist was fabulous, Bernadette Nyari-Violinist, Celebrity cast shows, L.I.F.E, Elysian, just so many shows that were all 10 stars! Live bands around the ship 4JB just wonderful! Eddie Jenkins the cruise director and Peter Baker activities director always working hard to provide all the fun!

Service and Staff

All excellent. Our cabin steward Renato always paid attention to detail. cabin spotless. Servers Gede and Muhammad wonderful. Each and every staff member went above and beyond to make sure we had the best cruise ever.

Ship Quality

Beautiful ship, spotless!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect for 2. I brought many magnetic hooks to hang things on. Closet isn’t huge. 5 small drawers. Storage over the bed. I used packing cubes, just pop in the drawers. You have to be organized. Not as much storage as on some. But I knew that by watching many videos of the cabins on this ship. So the cubes, extra hooks were great!

Ship tip

Enjoy! It’s wonderful! Not one negative.
