Fab cruise, friendly beautiful ship with great food and entertainment.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We had to arrange a PCR test prior to boarding ( we spent 48 hours in Fort Lauderdale after arriving from Uk, so our pre flight test was not within time).
This proved difficult to organise so we went with Celebrity test at the pier. Cost us $99 each but after a little delay at the testing facility , boarding was fine.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We were Aqua class, first time for us, and were excited to try Blu restaurant. We were not disappointed. Atmosphere was friendly, Maitre D was superb and the wait staff excellent. They remembered our names after the first evening, our seating, wine and food preferences. The menu itself was interesting, healthy but honestly delicious .
We had booked a speciality dining package for 5 nights, as we have done this previously , but after trying Blu we cancelled it.
We ate in Murano one evening only, it was great, as you’d expect, with good service, traditional dining with a slightly dark, club type atmosphere .
Main buffet was good. We had an occasional breakfast or lunch in there on sea days. I love to eat outside and the tables out back at the stern were great. Only criticism was long queues at the salad stations waiting to be served.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools and hot tubs clean and not too busy. Fitness centre v quiet and clean. Husband loved the peloton bikes. I was sl disappointed no yoga or Pilates classes but v minor thing for me.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Best shows we’ve seen on any cruise, hands down. From smaller venues and single artists to the Theatre, it was clear a lot of thought had gone into giving a broad range of entertainment and we appreciated it all. Cruise director Tim was in evidence and fun.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Excellent wait staff, genuinely friendly and eager to please. When we had any quibbles about our charges, reception staff at guest services really helpful and can do attitudes.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Slightly smaller than we expected but adequate and good position
