Coronavirus was always in the back of our minds but this did not stop what was otherwise a very good holiday.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Taxi to the pool deck took less than 15 mins, this would have only been 5 mins, but Singapore immigration took a while.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food on Celebrity is usually very good, but it is very clear that they are trying to force passengers into the speciality restaurants. You’ve no chance of a filet mignon in the main dining room. Additionally, tables for two are a bit of a joke - separated by as little as 3inches and 4-5 in a line together making an effective long table for 8-10. Absolutely no good for me as I’m deaf ....
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Celebrity don’t tend to have much in the way of extra activities, though the pools and gym we both very good.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Guest entertainers were excellent, but while the ships company had loads of energy and enthusiasm, we’ve seen much better on Celebrity
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service is unupiversally excellent with a couple of exceptions. If a bar runs out of a particular bee4 Orr wine, I don’t expect to be told to try another bar. The bartender should offer to go and get it for me. They also ran out of my wife’s. Favourite wine on day 10 of 14 which is disappointing, especially with all of the big ports where replenishments could have been sourced.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
A major improvement on the ore refit Millennium, but some of the Edge upgrades doesn’t suit us - boom boon music in the bars and pool deck, minimalist decor and some rather plasticky furniture, but still very nice.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
As an older ship, our balcony stateroom Was a little larger than on more modern ships, and while the new furniture looks a little bland, it is exceptionally well designed from a storage perspective.
Ship tip
Stateroom tea making facilities are welcome, but use the tetley tea from the buffet restaurant!
Looks a Very pretty island form the ship but very basic indeed when you get there. Has a Beautiful beach though. The motorcycle and sidecar transport was an ‘experience’!
Amazing city but our visit was spoiled by all of the Celebrity excursion buses turning up at the same venues at the same time = chaos! Surely this could be better planned?
Astonishing place, we did a nighttime tour to see the lights on Hong Kong island from Kowloon. Such a shame about the Coronavirus virtually closing the place down after we left.
