Dealing with Celebrity off the boat was painful. Their corporate number was useless and rude, and their website buggy and often misleading or incorrect. Suggest using only the travel agent or the team on the ship.
Once on the ship, things were great for me. Blu made Aqua class worth the extra money, even if some of the other “extras” weren’t honored.
The itinerary, even when a port was removed, was great. Antarctica was perfect.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Buenos Aires embarkation was a madhouse. Lots of people for two ships. However, the signage and staff were adequate, and the process was relatively fast with minimal waiting.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Trellis was fine. The Oceanview (buffet) was always packed. Qsine was interesting, though going once was enough to wear out the novelty. Tuscan grill was great. The Spa cafe underperformed. Sushi on Five was a good deal.
Blu, however, was superb. Great menu. Awesome staff. Only for Aqua Class though.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The lectures were good. Everyone loved MickeyLive. Not a huge amount of variety, but I was never bored.
Entertainment
Did not like show topics, so I did not attend.
Children's Programs
No kids.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Just great service all around on board.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship needs a remodel. There were broken chairs, and just general wear and tear. But it was clean, and the layout is great.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Good cabin. Below pool deck, so sometimes noisy. Closer to the front, many people could hear the club (two floors up) all night.
