We took this cruise (Venice to Rome) for its itinerary and in that respect we were not disappointed. We were also curious to try the new class of ship and to test the Celebrity standards of food and service which in our experience had declined in the past few years.

Embarkation was OK although the People Mover signs were difficult to find and elevators were defective. Signposting at Venice port for luggage drop-off was confusing.

In the evenings we ate mainly in the main dining room and found the food generally good and the service too. Our table was in a strategically poor location next to the serving bays but we stayed put because we enjoyed the company of our table companions. The serving staff were attentive and made heroic efforts to manoeuvre in the narrow space between the bays and our table. We also found that the Ocean View cafeteria had a good variety and standard -- we particularly liked the Indian food for lunch and the excellent breakfast selection. But the lack of trays to carry your complete meal to the table was a major handicap. Bring back the trays! We ate one meal at the Murano -- the food was excellent and the service superb. But not worth the $40 pp plus the missed meal in the main dining room included in the cruise fare.

3115 below discotheque. Thumping music noise until the small hours. Unacceptable.
