We are Elite Plus Members and have done this particular cruise several times. Overall, a good cruise, but Celebrity's cutbacks are severe and greatly affected the quality of the experience. Major cuts in the Activity staff took place - Zumba used to be taught free of charge on the pool deck twice a day for the duration of the cruise - this is gone. Huge disappointment - and this was one of the highlights of the cruise in the past, both for participants and non-participant observers. Canyon Ranch runs Zumba now - the new Spa onboard, and they charge $13 US after the first two free classes and it is conducted in the gym. Canyon Ranch in my view charges far too much and many of us decided to wait until we got home to have our spa treatments.

The staff onboard starting from the Captain down are truly exceptional and do everything they can in their power to make your cruise as pleasant as possible. The ports of call were superb. The ship is meticulous although the women's facilities at the pool require more attention. The food was not near as good as before, but it is still very good. There were more drunken passengers than ever, possibly because of the included drinks package for some, and one disturbance that took place during Perry Grant's performance was most disturbing.

Get ready for huge price increases next year, which in my view, are completely unwarranted.
