Review summary

First cruise on Celebrity, 27 cruises before in the last 10 years. I must say you didn't disappoint! First class for the money all the way. Loved the layout and the huge variety of food and drink available to everyone. Service all thru the ship was a 10!! Every one smiling and having a great time. The library is a welcome treat too. Good entertainment for the most. Cleanest ship we've ever been on.

Embarkation

Perfect, from meeting Ms Iva to stepping into my cabin. I am short of breath and Ms. Iva got me to the ship and a young man got me to my cabin.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Two times in main dining room and it took to long to eat, we did meet some nice folks. The buffet was a whole world unto it's self. Always clean an well stocked! The variety of food available was amazing. Fresh fruit every meal was a real winter treat. My wife loved the ice cream everyday. The ham for breakfast is a country boy's dream, great job guys. Coffee was so good with the honey as sweetner.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Went to the theatre 3 times, good to have a place for the ones who are "stairs challenged"... Shows were good, I really liked the briefings from the older man about history and the ocean. More comedy would be good.

Entertainment

I don't do many musicals.

Children's Programs

They were very few kids and that is great for us. The ones there were really well behaved and out of sight

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Nothing to say here but OUTSTANDING from the first day til the last minute. Best staff overall I've seen in 27 cruises. Our room steward, Zainal, was so good and accommodating. Thank you. Buffet, grill master, Neal, was spot on every time I saw him, great steak and hamburger on the spur of the moment... stuff like this make for a great trip. Smiles from Tracee was always welcome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Perfect for us. Never a problem for anything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room for us two. The couch was a little uncomfortable, love the tv and all the channels. Balcony was plenty big and comfortable. ]
