Had a great time. First full ship since the pandemic and the crew did well accommodating everyone. Sadly the food was not up to Celebrity standards in my opinion but otherwise I would cruise the ship again.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was just okay, nothing special compared to other ships I've been on. Main dining room was also just okay. Specialty restaurants were delicious and very enjoyable.

Oceanview Café and Bar

3 out of 5

Buffett was mediocre at best. Food was cold, poorly cooked and understaffed. Management was less than friendly.

Mast Grill and Bar

3 out of 5

Mast Grill food was undesirable, precooked burgers and dogs are not enjoyable. Mast bar was nice but too smoky.

Although service was excellent, the location was terrible, especially when there was entertainment happening in the Grand Foyer.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
In house entertainers were barely average.. Guest comedian was superb but the ship only used him once in the 10 days he was onboard. Cruise Director was a pompous ass and very disrespectful.

Service and Staff

Service, with the exception of the cruise director was superb

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was outdated and not ver comfortable. There were only 2 outlets in the cabin and they were nowhere near the bed. Had to get an extension cord for my CPAP.
