Review summary

This was our first cruise experience and probably our last. While we mainly booked this trip for the ports of call, the on board experience came with disappointing activities and was far from a family friendly cruise like we were told from . We were also sold to upgrade to Concierge Class and we experienced zero benefit for the added cost. The ship was modern and the crew were lovely. I think this will be our last cruise experience for a while.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Buffets got boring and the speciality restaurants were expensive for the experience. Room service food was awful.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Onboard activities were geared towards older passengers. The Celebrity app daily activities had misleading information that did not match the actual activity. For example, the app listed Art Hour - watercolor, knitting, etc. and we showed up and it was copies of paper and a few colored pencils. Disappointing activities!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Performances were enjoyable.

Children's Programs

Very few children on the cruise, so we didn't send our toddler to Kids Camp.

Waiters very friendly and our room steward was amazing.

Cabin / Stateroom

Comfortable room, not worth it at all to upgrade to Concierge class. We saw zero benefit.

Ship tip

If you are ready to travel with all retirees and elderly passengers than choose Celebrity.

Confusing way to get back to the ship through the port and ship yard. Did an excursion and it was supposed to have 3 stops and only had 2. Disappointed in the one shore excursion we did.
