Excellent experience with fewer passengers than usual, but full crew and all amenities. The cabin was comfortable and intelligently laid out, with great service from our steward, Tony. Food was outstanding with excellent service. Entertainment was top notch and well-varied.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Smoothest embarkation we have had to date. We really appreciated the safety briefing and how efficiently and calmly it was handled.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Service and food in the main dining room was excellent, but we primarily dined at the buffet (Oceanview) because of the fantastic variety of choices and fantastic management of the restaurant.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Really enjoyed access to the hot tubs and had a great time at the casino. The library was also very nice.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We attended their theater shows almost every night and loved the variety and great performances we saw. We also enjoyed several areas around the ship for different music shows. We particularly enjoyed the ABBA music sing-a-long and the Rob Lewis tribute to Phil Collins as well as his Motown show.
Children's Programs
No children.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward, Tony, was outstanding and did a great job for us. We were also impressed by the staff at the customer service desk, who helped us on more than one occasion, and those in the ILounge. Wait staff in both the Main Dining Room and the Oceanview Buffet were attentive and did a great job.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship's layout was easy to navigate and everything was in good shape and clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin was well-designed and well-maintained. We particularly liked the fact that the shower had a door (instead of a curtain as on many ships) and we really appreciated the built-in night light in the bathroom. Sufficient storage. Obstructed view was not a problem for us. It was also helpful to have master light switches near the door and the veranda.
We did not do an excursion at this port, but we explored the town on our own, but we really appreciated the shuttle from the ship to town, which Celebrity offered for a reasonable fee.

Celebrity supplied a free shuttle into town and we took a hop-on-hop-off bus and enjoyed exploring, especially the astronomical clock in the town square.
We took Celebrity's "Easy Pompeii" excursion, which included the cameo factory tour, and appreciated that they offered such an accommodation for us seniors. The guide, Antonella, could not have done a better job.
We took Celebrity's excursion to Pisa. The guide was adequate; the town was fabulous and there was a restaurant with gift shop where we were welcome to sit and rest out of the sun.
