While it has been a while since I have cruised, I can still say this is the best cruise I have ever taken! Some observations:

Ship - Tasteful decor and unparalleled cleanliness! Staterooms were very quiet and well appointed. We had a veranda room and I will never cruise again unless I can reserve a balcony room.

Food - very good in both the Opus dining room and the Ocean View cafe. We did not try any specialty restaurants as we could not justify the cost having already paid for very good food! We used the 'Celebrity Select' dining option as we didn't want to be tied to a specific meal time. The longest we waited was about 15-20 minutes and that was because we wanted a table for two.
