This was our third Celebrity cruise (Infiniti-2002 & Galaxy-2003) and eighth overall (four on Holland America and one on RCCL). It was our best one. Physically the ship is outstanding - beautiful, clean, etc. But there seems to be a real sense of "family" among the crew and it showed in incredible, cheerful service.

The other welcome "best ever" was the entertainment. I was overwhelmed with the the Celebrity Dancers shows that include acrobatics. Also the non-showroom entertainment was truly first rate: Toby Beau Duo in the rendezvous lounge and the a cappella singing group "4-2-5". The food was the same as previous Celebrity cruises - the best ever. This cruise we also ate in the specialty Ocean Liners Restaurant. Again - a best ever experience.

There was just one surprise - we received no rating questionnaire. That has always seemed to be a very important event on previous cruises. They missed out on getting straight A's if we had one to complete. Read more
