Overall great relaxing cruise. Really enjoyed food, wished bar service would have been quicker in some lounges. Looking forward to our next Celebrity in the Med

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet overall very good quality and menu changed daily. Meats on carving station always tender and well cooked.
Food in main dining room very good, their French Onion soup never disappoints, steak cooked to order very good.
Steaks in Lawn and Tuscan Grilles were superb, well worth the extra cost. Did find the Tuscan Grille far too dark and gloomy, although the service was outstanding.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Enough quizzes to keep us happy. Maybe need a few more things happening around the pool during day on sea days.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Didn’t go to theatre, shows weren’t to our taste. Quite a few repeats throughout cruise I noticed. Found quality of bands not as good as previous Celebrity cruise. DJ Jahno knows how to get atmosphere going. Activities Team were great, Cruise Director was bland.
Game shows were a lot of fun in Celebrity Central or Sky Lounge.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Overall the service was very good. Waiting staff in all eateries were friendly, helpful and efficient. Found Mast Bar service and deck drink service slow to non existent at times. Bar tenders just too slow. Not enough drinks waiters in Sky Lounge in evening especially when shows etc were on, quicker to go to bar.
Room steward kept cabin clean but disturbed us every night while we were getting ready to go out for the turndown, frustrating.
Ended up in Medical Centre one night after a fall, all staff were helpful and very thorough, very professional.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
All areas around the ship were clean and well maintained, however did not see many if any staff cleaning down lifts and hand railings on stairs, unlike other cruises especially post covid.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Pretty spacious ocean view cabin, plenty of storage. Decent size shower with sliding door and useful foot rest. Missed washing line but did have 2 hooks in shower for wet swimwear. Bed very comfy. Our cabin was under casino but heard no noise, pretty quiet location on ship even though there’s a bar at end of corridor. Liked location for bar and getting on/off ship, gangway just a deck below, no waiting on lifts.
Ship tip
If you prefer ship excursions, need to book early pre cruise.
Spent some time on Rainbow Beach, $5 pp each way in shuttle taxi. Chairs & umbrella $40! Very busy, wouldn’t return. Shops around port were on the pricey side. Found their local rum Cruzan cheaper elsewhere.
