Review summary

A relaxing cruise with very good food with the exception of La Petite Chef. Loved the entertainment on board as well as the At the Podium lectures. Nicely refurbished ship with great staff.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Although the Boston port is challenging to reach (40 minute taxi for what should have been 10 minutes) and a marginal terminal, it took minima l time to board once we arrived. It helped that we only had small dollar bags and backpacks.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Bleu was excellent as usual. Dinner twice and lunch at Tuscan Grill were equally great. Sushi on Five was fine. Petite Chef a huge disappointment. We have eaten there many times previously, but the food was mediocre. More significantly, it took 40 minutes to get a glass of wine and we sat there for almost 30 minutes before the presentation began. Buffet was fine as was the main dining room. Always enjoy the Martini Bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Went to fitness center daily. Some of the treadmills were not working and were not fixed for a couple days-inexcusable. Enjoyed lectures from both guest lectures.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the singer, Marli Carelli. House band, Seagulls, were very good. The string duo were excellent. Loved Legacy and Tommy Green Jr. production shows were ordinary but ok

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff in Bleu were friendly and outstanding. Same with Tuscan Grill. Our room steward was slow at returning laundry initially but improved and did a good job of taking care of our room.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship nicely refurbished-both common area and cabin.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin nicely refurbished but smaller than newer Celebrity ships. Very small balcony. The shower is tiny but manageable

Enjoy the music and lectures
