Review summary

Overall, we had a great time on this cruise. We were a group of 6 and could always find something to amuse ourselves. The Opus dining room had great choices for dinner. Our waiter, Duarte, and his assistant Jeff, took great care of us. We frequented the Ocean view cafe for breakfast and lunch . There were always more choices than I could handle. Some of the bars were better than others, mostly due to staffing and stocking problems. Our room steward, Vendi, was amazing. We never wanted for a thing While we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, we may not do another celebrity cruise. Princess does it as well for less money.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in the main dining room was great. Drinks were mostly good, although they were inconsistent from bar to bar

Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria

2 out of 5

The Americano was decent, but coffee was simply adequate. The pastries were mostly dry and tasteless

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Pools were good if you made it out before the chair hogs. Activities formerly scheduled for the disco were held in the grand foyer. Not as grand as it needs to be. Very cramped quarters for a dance class

Hot Tub

2 out of 5

Seems to be enough hot tubs. Never had a problem getting in.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Grand Foyer

1 out of 5

Not the place to hold concerts or dance classes. Cramped and not nearly enough places to sit. Since half the passengers are nearing senior age, being able to sit is great when listening to music.

Celebrity Central

5 out of 5

Always funny. Mostly empty
