All Cruises have its good and bad points. Not sure we would do it again, except maybe taking excursions through another company other than through Celebrity, who use better buses with more leg room on these long excursions. Sitting on bus for 3 to 6 hours with knees hitting the seat in front of me was torture, I am 5 ft 7
Embarkation

Had to stand long wait outside of terminal, not sure what delay was about.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was very good, especially the afternoon lunch buffet. Unfortunately the main dinning room, staff was slow and food quantities and choices were limited. Drink package was well worth it and service in the lounges was decent.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Had 1 disappointing , we waited til dinner time to have hot tub all to ourselves in the solarium where there were 2 tubs, soon as I got in was asked to exit due to maintenance cleaning.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great Performers and shows
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Except for extremely slow service at main dinning room, which we decided was not worth a 2 hour wait to have dinner. We went to buffet instead. Service and room steward was good as well as other ship personnel.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was kept very clean
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was kept very clean thanks to our room steward. Size of cabin and balcony was comfortable , shower stall small
Ship tip
All in all it was a great ship with good food, except for main dinning room service
Liked the port, however our excursion guide although he was knowledgeable but we could not hear him well, he did not use ear phone technology. Don’t recommend this if you have mobility issues, very steep terrain and not many guardrails while climbing rock stairs. Monkeys were not aggressive. Great views
We did Pompeii excursion, we could clearly hear the guide, however we could not understand her accent was very heavy and would add an H to words that started with an A, ie; Hair vs air. She was very fast paced and terrains/ruins were extremely difficult to walk on with no guard rails. 2 hours solid walking on rocks with maybe one 10 min break is a lot to expect from middle aged people. Guide was heartless and shaming us to keep up. Her name was Rafaela. Ruins were great but unable to enjoy at this pace we were on and no bathroom breaks for 2 hours
Good excursion, however bus was extremely uncomfortable designed for children, everyone on bus complained about it. Would not do excursion through celebrity again unless they correct this bus situation.
