Review summary

We had a wonderful time on the cruise. Amenities, food, drinks, and activities were great. Made the right decision to be on the highest deck of staterooms, with ours right next to the pool, solarium, and gym/spa, and even with all that, our room was always quiet. The buffet was super convenient being right above us. The ports in Porto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Tangier were very nice and quaint, and convenient for when we had to hop on our excursions. Embarkation and disembarkation were super easy. Celebrity staff was always very friendly!

Buffet was great! We didn't have to wait too long to be seated in the main dining room, and we always got seated where we requested. Dined once in the specialty restaurant, which was excellent.

Lisbon, Portugal

4 out of 5
Loved Lisbon! Just walked around and did tuk tuk ride. Glad the ship docked the night, as we went back the next morning to walk around before it got too hot

Cadiz (Seville), Spain

3 out of 5
Didn't do anything in Cadiz, just took a guided shuttle bus to Seville, which was beautiful!

Tangier, Morocco

4 out of 5
It's OK. Excursion with a guided tour, first half was great riding the camels, visiting Hercules' cave, gorgeous views. Very disappointed with the second half, going through the Medina - we were swarmed by vendors

Disembarkation
