Review summary

This was our first time sailing with Celebrity. Excellent ports of call. We especially liked Tracy Arm Fjord. I wish we would have had more time in Victoria. Passenger age may be slightly higher than other cruise lines. There are still a lot of different age groups. Make sure you understand what your room key entitles you to. We had booked so far in advance we forgot what we had selected during the booking process. We learned we had the beverage package toward the end of the cruise. Entertainment is above average. The ship’s singing and dancing group were very good. Song selections were very up-to-date and they looked like they were having so much fun. The naturalist on-board also gave excellent talks-very enjoyable. Overall, an excellent trip!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Liked the Epernay Dining Room very much. Service was excellent! Oceanside cafe-not so much. Food quality was not the same quality as served in the Epernay. Ended up having breakfast in Epernay to avoid Oceanview. Oceanview had too many food stations. Took longer to find your food. It was difficult to find seating.

Could have had more variety

Entertainment

Very good, but some additional variety would have been good. The comedian was the only non-singing act.

How did you realize you had the beverage package? That's too bad.

We love Celebrity! Went on the Solstice on 2015. Everything was great. Ship and ports. If anyone needs any suggestions please let me know and I'd be happy to message you on shipmate.
