Review summary

Great cruise overall. Got what we wanted and more. Very pleased with Celebrity. Have another cruise with them booked for November 2022.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Arrived before our scheduled time. No lines. Through check in in 5 minutes. On the boat and eating in Oceanview cafe before scheduled arrival time. Muy impressed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR needs some serious help. Food boring and bland. Not enough servers. To compensate, diners were crammed together to allow for fewer servers who couldn't possible be effecient. Oceanview Cafe/buffet was fabulous. Many choices at each meal and different at each meal.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Loud, even with my hearing aids turned off. Not my cup-of-tea.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Seemed under staffed, therefore overworked.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean and well maintained. But, no extra cleaning for COVID prevention. Therefore, 26 crew members got covid and some passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very comfortable. Larger than expected. But that could be because the bathroom was tiny. Like an airplane toilet with a shower.

Ship tip

Do it.

Ports of call

Nothing good or bad to say.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast. Off the boat and in taxi in 10 minutes.

This was the smoothest ride ever. Even in high winds and choppy season it was smooth as silk.
