Review summary
Celebrity cruise line amazed me a second time on this vacation. I continue to be impressed by the service and detail to which they aim for excellence. A cruise with this line is relaxing, pampering, and true paradise. The days at sea were terrific and the entertainment in the theatre was very good. The desserts onboard not as good as the other food. Also, my birthday was screwed up. The line that my companion ordered was not delivered to our table on the night of my birthday. An 'alcohol removed' wine labled Fre' was set, which was also in our room upon arrival. It tastes terrible and the wine master that we had was very smug about it and he did not respond as he should have by apologizing and fixing the situation. He claimed it was wine and appeared uninterested and busy.
We were cabin 1662 on the Celebrity Siloutte March 24th-April 2nd. Also, my birthday cake was not a surprise because the staff came out and asked me if I wanted my first name on it..haha.
Lastly, a bartender in the Sky Lounge told me he was going to make me a birthday drink, which I assumed was complimentary, then he charged me $15 for it. These things did not make my birthday feel special, so that was a loss. It was actually one of the worst birthdays I have had. I choose Celebrity cruise for my birthday, so I expected a special experience, which did not happen. Yet, the rest of the cruise and ports were so nice and I was grateful to be away for my birthday. The dining staff did sing happy birthday to me which was very sweet.
Also, the eggs on the ship were too runny for my taste, but those are small details.

Ship tip
I would suggest researching the ports and excursions and planning ahead so that you don't have to do that on your vacation. I hope that a special event, birthday, etc...goes better than mine did. Be specific with the cruise line about what you expect or order.
