Like most Transatlantic you get a long cruise for a bargain price. The service throughout the ship was excellent from Stateroom (Janette) to Dining room to wine stewards. It was clear that passenger comfort and safety were of prime importance. The ship had mainly British passengers on this trip from Southampton to Ft. Lauderdale, and there was a problem with US Immigration that left many standing in line for hours. It appeared to be the fault of US CBP, not the cruise line, there were 5 other ships in port trying to clear at that same time.

Initial passage was a little rough, but hey, we're talking the Atlantic, not Lake Caribbean.

The Celebrity life lectures were excellent, especially Dr. Reill the historian. Another highlight was the West Side Strings trio that played daily in the wine bar. Other passengers I visited with mentioned the excellent quality of the entertainers in the small venue bars and lounges. The large scale shows ranged from excellent to so-so, but all I saw were Very good to Excellent.

Cabin Review

Great cabin, amidships, port side, near the Library, quiet up high enough to see everything, and great cabin attendant who brought is a cheese plate every afternoon instead of the ho-hum appetizers at 4 PM
