Review summary

We thought going on a Celebrity cruise ship would be a step up from Royal Caribbean as they are sister ships... but we were disappointed :-( The decor was impressive and there were many bars to choose from but only after about 5pm. The very large lounge at the top of the boat was very comfortable and a great place to sit and relax... and although there was a bar in the middle it was rarely open.

Ship tip

If you like to have a drink while sitting in a bar with a view... book Royal Caribbean instead... bars open in the middle of the day were far and few between

If you're looking for things like a flow rider or roller rink, stick with RCL, as they offer more youthful entertainment. Celebrity is more about entertainment options that appeal to 50 somethings. It's theater shows, comedy acts, musical talent, etc.

So, what else was there on the ship? Surely not one bar? Pathetic review.
