Review summary

I've done 9 cruises on RC and Carnival, this was my first time on Celebrity. My husband and I are in our mid-30s.

Pros: Concierge class was great, Italian restaurant was amazing and well worth the extra fee, ports were A+, scenery obviously incredible, the boat is very new and modern feeling, rooms/beds comfortable, loved the shaving bar in the shower, lots of hand sanitizer everywhere, lots of hot tubs, ESPN for my husband, only like 5 kids on the whole boat, public bathrooms were HUGE and actually very nice

Cons: entertainment was AWFUL, food in the dining room was too fancy for our tastes, the cruise director was almost nonexistent it felt like, the hot glass show was being renovated so we didn't get to see it, bathroom sink faucet made it very hard to wash your face, small closet, no Dr. Pepper on board, no 24 hour food since pizza/pasta closed at 1am each night, slightly lacking nighttime activities, casino table game minimums were too high (ie. $20/hand)

If not having dr pepper is one of your major complaints, then all in all it sounds like it was an excellent cruise.

Who, for goodness sake, is Dr. Pepper?

Beatles wrote a song about a Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Any relation?

I guess he must be something to do with food, as his absence from the ship upset you as did the lack of food after !am.,

I note you were on Honeymoon. amazing! Words, for once, fail me.

Did you have face cloths in your bathroom to wash your face, I did and I washed perfectly well, my food was perfect, every meal, well presented, tasty and plentiful, we enjoyed our cruise so much we booked again. Maybe Dr Pepper had lost his fizz and was treating someone else, or on another cruise?

Easy for me to say because I don't gamble, but why are you complaining about the cost to gamble when you can afford concierge class?

Alaska and the ship were great but the on board entertainment was lacking
