This was my second cruise with celebrity, the first one had departed form the UK so no experience of the flight/connections etc Flew Heathrow to Athens on 12th . Stayed overnight in the Novotel. The hotel is fine but the area around it is a bit dubious. We had organised a private transfer, we obviously missed the fact that there were coach transfers when we booked (online).
The food and service on board was excellent, although the main dining was a bit empty during non formal nights and the atmosphere was a bit dull.. I think a large number of guests took other dining options on non formal days.
Theatre shows were similar to those experienced on Eclipse in 2013. Apart from the first night they were very good. There were a number of musical acts that played from time to time around the ship. A classical Duo were particular good and a Beatles tribute band played a very lively session one night, which got everyone dancing. The poolside disco during the sea day was a bit grating.
