Highly recommend sailing with Celebrity if you want the big ship experience without feeling crowded. Also there are usually not many children on board (except probably the school holidays) less than 20 on our cruise.

I absolutely agree with your impression of Cafe al Bacio. It is a relaxing setting, has great coffee and espresso based drinks, and generous servers. Not only did they remember my favorite drinks, but also which drinks at different times of the day. I am looking forward to this experience again on the sister ship (Equinox) later this year. Thanks for the great review!
