Review summary
This was our first cruise on Celebrity. It was our 10th cruise and we thought we'd try it. We had a good time but not a great time. With so many other choices we won't sail with Celebrity again.The ship had its plusses for us, one being the food. We thought the quality was better than other major lines. The ship was a little tired looking, but clean. Stateroom was good size and comfortable. We particularly liked the bathroom layout. Staff generally was not friendly, they seemed either tired or not happy. Of course there were a few exceptions and those staff members stood out. Our room steward was great. While there were many onboard activities, most didnt appeal to us. The lecturers were very good. There were no exercise classes which I enjoy. I didn't want to pay 17.50 plus 18% added gratuity for a class! This brings me to my next point which was a major negative. From start to finish we were inundatedated by pushy staff members wanting to sell us something. It was obnoxious. We felt like second class citizens with just a regular class stateroom and no drink package. And everything on the ship is outrageously expensive. A cup of regular coffee is 6.00 (when not in dining venues.) All on all, I was told Celebrity was a cut above, but I found the opposite. We are going back to Princess or Royal CaribbeanEmbarkation
