Review summary

Very happy with this cruise. The food was great, the ship was clean, loved our verandah room. I was weary of Celebrity snobs after following the Facebook groups for a few months but not a big deal. Have another cruise booked with Celebrity in 2024 and also taking advantage of the future cruise offer to book another.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Nothing really to review. So quick and painless. I feel like we stepped out of our Lyft and onto the ship in record time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Did not eat in the MDR. I’m a specialty dining fan. Ate in Sushi on 5 the first night. So good! In fact we decided to there our last night as well. A particular favorite of mine was the lobster and shrimp wontons. Le Petit Chef at QSine was so much fun! And the food was great. My 11-year-old onion hating kid demolished her French onion soup. Her main course was the steak frites which she enjoyed. A lot. I had the sautéed chicken breast…very good.We also ate at the Tuscan Grille. We both had same…the the same: Caesar salad, filet mignon. Again, fabulous. We also stopped in the cafe a few times for “second dinners” or late evening snacks.

Entertainment

We only attended one show: Soundtrack. The highlight of that (for me) was the four James Bond theme songs. The singers and dancers were great.

Maybe it’s just my kid but she does not enjoy the kids camps. She has tried carnival a couple of times and now tried Celebrity’s.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was my 15th cruise. 13 of those cruises have been with Carnival (the one other was Norwegian). So that is where the bar is set for me (although I will say that overall, the Havana balcony on Horizon remains my favorite room). Our room was clean, was bright, updated. My favorite part? There was a shower door NOT a shower curtain and the bar for my feet for shaving my legs. It’s the little things. But the bathroom was bright, clean, plenty of counter space and shelves. And roomy. Our balcony was clean, comfortable (except when a neighbor on one side decided to use his to smoke on occasion).

Thanks for the review. I've only cruised on the summit but from pictures and YouTube videos the showers on other ships often seem tiny. I thought the shower in my cabin was great and having an actual door keeps the water contained. Glad you had a fun trip
