Review summary

I booked this cruise as a quick getaway from lingering winter. It was enjoyable, but I would likely avoid Celebrity in the future. Was very disappointed in the food for the reasons mentioned above. Also, the ship's Wi-Fi is a joke! Could barely text; forget about reading the news or researching facts about your trip or ports of call. This is a simple technology fix and wouldn't cost much. Says volumes about Celebrity to charge for something that is so terrible!

Embarkation

Ship's crew didn't handle onboarding in an efficient way.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Meat dishes were not very good. Terrible ribeye steak at one of the specialty restaurants (Merano)

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Live music by the pool was great, as were all the on-ship entertainers. However, the pre-programmed music by the pool was the same 12-15 songs over and over and over...... Not good!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

No issues. One maintenance issue on the veranda was promptly fixed.
