Our 5th cruise and first with Celebrity, we are both in our very early 50's from London, United Kingdom. We stayed in the Pan Pacific hotel overnight, it sits atop Canada Place which is also the cruise terminal.

Check-in was a breeze once we had queued for around 30 minutes getting through US border control, five minutes later we were onboard. Although the ship is the oldest in the Celebrity fleet the stateroom was still in good condition although there were a few minor faults these could have been found on even the most modern ship.

Cova Cafe had a great atmosphere with windows to view the passing scenery while listening to one of the great entertainers on board. There is a daily info sheet delivered to your stateroom for the forthcoming days events, read it carefully so you don't miss anything of interest. Island Cafe/Pizza Bar/Burger Bar/Ice Cream bar being the very casual venues that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. There was plenty to choose from at breakfast for example there were six styles of Eggs Benedict. I saw separate areas marked English, American and Asian breakfast. Everything we ate in the island cafe was enjoyed. The main dining room was excellent with a great choice on the menu with good variation over the seven days, one evening we arrived 20 minutes after closing, the staff pulled out all the stops got us seated and served an excellent 3 course meal all with a smile. We used Marano the menu was interesting and the food and wine served was wonderful with service to match. Ana was particularly memorable for her pleasant manner and humour.The only onboard activities we got involved with were the talks given by Silos the ships guest naturalist. He was a most engaging speaker who was able to convey the excitement of the natural world around us.

Cabin Review

Royal Suite

Cabin RS

Royal suite 1041 is divided into 5 areas, the living area has two sofas, occasional table and large flat screen TV, the dining area had a small dining table and bar area with a small fridge and the bedroom had a very comfortable bed and two bedside tables with alarm clock, iPad dock and a second large flat screen TV. The wash room had a full size whirlpool tub and a separate shower stall and two sinks with ample room for bits and pieces. The balcony deserves special mention, it was huge, there was a teak round table and four chairs plus two sun loungers, two foot stools and a coffee table and still there was plenty of room in fact it looked quite bare.
