Review summary

Not sure exactly why, but this cruise was age wise way too old for us.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

First day the ship did not have crown royal or a few premium wines that was included with the premium package.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Again started out bad because of the location that they had us seated. Next to where they come in and out with food. Cruise was full so they were not prepared.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

This was my 5th cruise and second with Celebrity. Not impressed. They had the usual pool and some exercise classes, band playing here and there, but nothing else happening.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Children's Programs

no kids. Everyone was over 65.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

My suggestion would be to take out the indoor pool salerium and out in a pickleball court and more activities.

Cabin / Stateroom

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Leaving the ship was easy and fast. Tip. Do a self check out. Roll your bags off the ship vs waiting for your time to disembark.

We took our first cruise at age 40 on celebrity and loved every minute of it. Not a party ship for sure. There is Carnival for that!!!

My husband and I are getting ready to board our 3rd Celebrity Silhouette cruise. We are 43 & 44 years of age and have loved cruising with Celebrity. We see a vast age range on the ship as there is always something for everyone. The only thing we don’t see is crazy drunk partiers. 5 days to go!!!!

You didn’t say much in your review. What started badly? Why was it a problem that many other cruisers were older?
