This was our second Celebrity Cruise (one previously on Celebrity Equinox in May 2010) and there were improvements. The ship design is comfortable, with easy access by stairs or elevators. Cabins were spacious and roomy for clothes, suitcases, etc. Public spaces were maintained well and there was a focus on hygiene for passengers.
In terms of positives:
(1) The food selection (eating in the main dining room at 6:15 pm and breakfast and lunch in the buffet area) was much improved. There was variety, portion sizes were good, and there was a major increase in vegetarian options, gluten free, no sugar added, etc.). The Indian food on the buffet was excellent, and the daily grilled fish. Deserts were numerous and the low calorie choices were good. The meals in the dining room were 4* throughout and on occassion 5*. We appreciated availability of fresh fruit.
Adequate for the journey...well positioned for dramatic entrances to a variety of ports with wonderful views. Cleanliness at onset was no up to par (due to quick turnaround of trips) but handled well thereafter.
