As usual Celebrity delivered an outstanding cruise. The Fjords are breathtaking and we plan to return in the future.

Embarkation

Very quick and efficient. On board within a few minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in the main dining room was outstanding. Lots of choice and food served up was hot and extremely tasty. Ocean view cafe served up lots of delicious choices of food. Downside was that it was always so busy. Lawn Club Grill speciality restaurant was excellent as usual but disappointed with food and service in Murano restaurant.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Good pools and great fitness centre. Apart from that, not much else to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room attendant was the best we’ve ever experienced. We agreed a time for him to service our cabin at the outside and he did this every day. He was always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. The waiters in the MDR were excellent and couldn’t be faulted. Not keen on the Sommelier, for me he didn’t put in any effort and finding a wine I might like to try.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love this ship. Some common areas and cabins need a facelift but overall a great ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Lovely midship balcony cabin. Just about the right size for us with a great bathroom and shower. Very clean and plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobe.

Ship tip

Take the time to tour the ship and see all she offers.

Ports of call

Bergen, Norway

4 out of 5
We did this port on our own. Felt the maps were poor and it was quite a walk about 20 mins into the town. A shuttle takes you to the port gates but could do with the shuttle going that bit further into town.

Alesund, Norway

5 out of 5
Loved this port. We did fab tour so didn’t really get chance to wander around the town.

Flaam, Norway

5 out of 5
What an amazing place! However unless you do the train trip there doesn’t appear to be a lot going on but it is breathtakingly beautiful. Lovely farewell to the ship when leaving this port.

Stavanger, Norway

5 out of 5
Great boat trip to Lysefjord and Pulpit Rock. We arranged the trip ourselves on Rodne cruises but you need to book early as the best times sell out quickly. Very pretty town.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did self disembarkation as we wanted to get out of Southampton early. Worked well except Port Gate 8 was closed due to upcoming boat show which meant we had to have taxi to get to our car when we had planned on walking.
