We had a nice cruise. Celebrity cruise line is better experience for us overall.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Alfredo's Pizzeria
Good pizza and service. Was easy eat at without a reservation or wait. Only feedback I have would be to have more pizza options.
Crooner's Bar
One of my favorite bars that we stopped at every night. The bartenders Henry and Jun are excellent and fun. My understanding is this venue on other ships has a piano playing. Not on this ship. You are on the main piazza so you hear that entertainment. We liked the tables by the windows.
Club 6
Enjoyed this venue. We stopped here for a while almost every evening. The young adults tended to be here in the evenings. I am older and there were varied ages of the patrons. The bartender Leo is awesome! Only downside is that venue is small. My understanding is that it was made smaller for more casino space.
Allegro Dining Room
We had a majority of our evening meals here. Seating - There was always a wait of at least five minutes and sometimes longer to be seated. They appeared to be working through growing pains with a new seating system. This got better as the week progressed. We were always seated at a different table with a different waiter. We personally prefer having the same wait staff as experienced on a competing line. Having the same waiter builds more of a relationship and enhances the experience. Food - The food was good but not great. Waiter service - Allegro service was average. Speed of service was good most nights. Not much personality by this staff.
Vista Lounge
I am not a big fan of this venue. Too small for the shows on this cruise. If you are not there early like more than fifteen minutes there might not be seating. This was a problem with early and late shows. There are many seats here that have obstructed views of the stage by poles. Seems like a problem with the venue design. Another issue is lack of supervision by crew staff and other passengers standing because of lack of seats and further obstructing views.
The Pastry Shop
The cake was awesome. The coffee/expresso taste was ok. Seems like they could use a better quality expresso. Have many snacks and sandwiches available any time.
Sabatini's Italian Trattoria
The food and service were excellent. Highly recommend.
Ocean Terrace Seafood Bar
We did this twice for lunch. The food and staff were excellent. I highly recommend this venue. Ask if you want to change the menus offering. They were very accommodating.
