Lovely. Enjoyed spending time with the new friends we made on this trip. Clientele wAs fun, not stuffy, and u did not have 24 hours of loud obnoxious alcohol infused individuals. Lots of people having a good time all over the ship, as there wAs something fun going on throughout the ship each and every night.
I would cruise celebrity again, but not for the food or dining options.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
We chose "select" any time dining for the 2 of us. I was told via phone, just call up and make a reservation. When I called I was told just come to MDR we do not take reservations for party of 2. First night, sat us in hall way right outside kitchen entrance. People entering and exiting dining room walking right by u, wAiters and servers buzzing by, not the romantic wedding anniversary diner I was looking for. I was just waiting for someone to snatch something off my plate. Next evening same thing. Did not return to MDR for remainder of cruise. I was told a 45 min wait to sit in dining room. So we ate at the buffet the remainder of the trip. Omg, Norwegian's buffet is 110 times better. Celebrity's buffet lacked choices. Thank goodness for the pizza station and salad bar. A nice touch they have is the Grill, they cook your meat right in front of u, however, one grill, one worker , long line. Selection was not huge. Even in the morning for breakfast if u wanted hash browns u had to go to the grill to get them.
Pool side grill had burgers, hot dogs and crispy fries, which were delish.
Celebrity has 2 free dining rooms one for AquA class rooms and I think Spa class of which we could not dine at.
They have 3 fee restaurants which we did not dine at
My opinion, Celebrity needs to step up when it comes to dining options and food choices.
No coffee pot in your room. I was told each room had a coffee pot, a huge disappointment. Enjoy making a cup when We wake up, before bed. Yeah I can order a pot from room service, but who wants to wait 30 min for it, or be woken up, cause u ordered it the night before.
And I had a hard time getting a hot cup of coffee from buffet. Always like warm.
Onboard Activities

Plenty to do or not to do.
Pools. Just like every ship on sea days, packed. One nice addition was the giant hot tub pool. Some type of thermoputic pool.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Awesome
Live Music could be found at any given place from 1 pm to 12:30 am and later. From piano player in the Bistro to karoke.
A different performance every night. Wonderful.
If u cruise celebrity and Lou Gazarra is performing, don't miss his show!!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
From Carmelo and his assistant in the dining room, to Keive at the upstairs pool bar, Amazing. Everyone was polite, courteous and helpful.
However our room steward Pablo, gets the gold star, not for just being pleasant and smiling all the time, for extra pillows, but for honesty and integrity. I forgot my jewelry on the morning of disembarkment and when I remembered, he had already sent it to guest services for me to pick up. Also, it was in their security system, when they swiped my card it came up, they mDe sure I picked up my stuff.

Ship tip
If a pArty of 2 traveling, don't expect to sit at a table inside the dining room, without a long wait, and don't believe for one minute they take a reservation for 2.
Be prepared to sit in the hallway of the dining room with lots of traffic.
