Review summary

Overall this cruise was good but we also visited Cannes on the cruise. The tour company did not use the newer VOX system for groups and it made it very difficult for most of the group to hear.

The Staff had a great attitude. Our cabin Stewart addressed us by Name _wow The main dining staff were also great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This ship badly needed updates and the recent updates were helpful with new seating areas on the top deck. Echoes the Edge series.

5 out of 5

The cabin was well maintained and comfortable

Ship tip

Watch the price of the drink packages. If you drink a lot then ok, they are individually per person

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5

This is an exciting city with varied architecture and the Hop On bus tours are good. Taxis are everywhere and many have "FreeNow" a competitor to Uber,

Marseille (Provence), France

A pleasant surprise. We took the Open Top bus tour which was a disaster. Celebrity agreed and automatically refunded the cost to everyone.
