Once again delighted with Celebrity and the quality provided. This was our fourth time with Celebrity and everything was as we have come to expect.

Several days before departure we were offered an upgrade from C2 to a Sky Suite which we accepted at extra cost. The suite was enormous and comes complete with much bigger balcony, a larger than normal television, a butler who was extremely helpful, and even a set of scales in the bathroom. However being situated at the stern there was constant background noise and a slight vibration from the engines. We have previously been midships where there is quiet and a more comfortable motion in rough seas.

Everything you read about the standard of service is true. Embarkation was efficient and the glass of fizz when you get on the ship always a nice touch. The food in the main dining room, Moonlight Sonata, was excellent.It was always hot and if anything better than before on the Eclipse and the Infinity. The food in the Oceanview restaurant is also good but although there is a very wide range to choose from it does become repetitive. We would have thought that with some thought there could be a 'dish of the day' for each style of food to add variety. And why are there no French baguettes for breakfast? They produce them for dinner each evening in the Moonlight Sonata restaurant. Finally, there are not enough tables and chairs to cope with the rush periods. Finding a table becomes a lottery, whether cleared or not.
