Review summary

a New ship but not that big. with everything but we feel like it's a paradise for elders, not for us.

Love dinner+services and night shows.

the only thing we feel bad is the disembarkation, it took so long to allow us to get off. (said to be 7am, but atually not) everybody wait with big luggages standing in the lobby. a bit crowded.

so sorry you didn't enjoy the ship, it is 4 yrs old and I have travel the sister ship the Reflection which is the newest ship. I have several friends that prefer Celebrity Lines over any other and you will find find yourself traveling with the older crowds from Nov to about the end of February from what I have researched. I hope you have a better cruise your next time. best of luck

I don't think it's new, but recently renovated.

Based on your profile name I'm presuming you were a first time cruiser and if so just a heads up on debarkation; it may say arrival time 7am and a lot of people presume "ok let's get off the ship". It doesn't work like that; the ship itself has to Clear Customs first before they can start letting passengers off the ship. Usually they call by zones or floors but not everyone follows the rules and crowd the halls trying to get off. Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America caters to an older crowd just a heads up.
