Review summary

I found this to be the most scenically beautiful cruise I've ever taken. Every minute there's more beauty. The staff was amazing and took great care of us.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
This was not good for us. Once we cleared security the woman just before getting on the walkway to the bridge, who worked for the port and NOT Celebrity was so rude and mean to my daughter, who has a brain injury, and was already stressed from all the stimuli, that this woman's outright rude behavior caused 2 seizures for my daughter. She didn't say anything to us. She just watched and said "you need medical help?" Fortunately an employee of Celebrity rescued us and the situation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all the food from the buffet, to MDR and we ate in Murano on the first night and indulged in the Veuve Clicot Chef's Trading dinner on the last night. I thought the buffet had a wide variety and we never waited very long for anything, except maybe the Belgium waffles at breakfast 😁

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent all the way through. Or amazing room steward, Kadak and Wayan, as we had two rooms were fabulous and took care of everything we needed. Wait staff was great in all venues. Bar staff also fabulous!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean. They are cleaning all day long. Wiping down every surface multiple times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was small but we had 3 people staying in it. Our cabin attendant was exceptional and got us anything we needed. Very clean and lots of bottles of shampoo, shower gel and lotion

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was slow and slightly chaotic. I can highly recommend booking your transfer before you disembark!

Why was the port staff person at embarkation picking on the daughter? Have had some rude ones in the past, but they were just generic rude. Most of the time they are not so much rude as bored with the same scenes over and over or very friendly. Hope the daughter got over the seizures and enjoyed the ship.

I was sorry to hear of the experience you and your daughter had with a rude Port worker Good on Celebrity for making it better.
