Review summary

We loved the ship and the crew! The food and entertainment were both outstanding! This was our first time in Bermuda, and we can't wait to go back!

 

For our family, the most important area that needs improvement was simply that the teen area was not open very much. Even if there was just one crew member in the facility so the kids could play video games, it would be a vast improvement. 

 

Also the implementation of the anytime dining (which we have experienced flawlessly on Norwegian, Carnival, and Princess), needs work. It was unreasonably difficult to get a table for 4.  

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in both the main dining room and the buffet areas was outstanding! Nelly and the lemon sorbet were our favorites. The stir fry section in the evening was wonderful, but could be made better simply by adding the availability of Sriracha sauce and chopsticks.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The programming for adults was fantastic! We especially liked all of the lectures/QA's by officers and the tour of the kitchen. Programming for teens was incredibly limited, and will frankly likely keep us from sailing on Celebrity again until our 12 year old is out of the house.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Every show we saw was fantastic! We loved the dancers, aerialists, comedians, and magician! My only suggestion would be to rebrand iHollywood to something more general, since it was sometimes difficult to see the progression of the theme.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
The X-Club programming was too limited, and even when there was something on the schedule, it was often combined with the little kids.

Ship Quality

We were mildly concerned about sailing on a ship that is so old, but the design is stunning! We especially liked the design of the views from the buffet area.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
3058 would be wonderful for 2 people, but the configuration of having the pull out between the main bed and the bathroom left barely enough room to squeeze between the sofa sleeper and the desk - just inches. It should not be used for 3 people.
