Review summary

Very nice cruise. We are Celebrity Ceuise people but this was a nice change. Not as many beautiful desserts, but food was great. Shower in room was so great!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Good enough but took awhile

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Great. The Lido buffet experience was new to us- everything had to be served to us- we are used to getting our own on the other ships. It was ok after we got used to it but not quite as fast in lines.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The gym was excellent

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved Music arrow. Shows were excellent. Big problem is that theater is too small- had to arrive 45 mi utes before showtime and sit there. And then while waiting, nothing happening. They could have had decent music playing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great staff all around

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Great except for small theatre mentioned above. They would need 3 shows a night every night to take care of this problem.
