Generally a good cruise. The ship has excellent facilities. Unfortunately we were not allowed to bring a portable iron , this was confiscated and we had to the hold to bring our own luggage to our cabin. This is poor service. We not warned not to bring portable iron to iron our own clothes. The staff member who confiscated our iron informed us that the ship would like us to use their laundry service to iron our clothes and pay a premium price. This is wrong and celebrity needs to review their policy on taking aboard portable iron for personal use. Is there a rule on taking on board alcohol when you embark for the first time, if so it was not made clear. This made no difference to us but some in our neighbouring cabins were complaining about it. Their policy on bringing on board alcohol at the port of embarkation is not clear.
The tour excursions were good but rushed and expensive. It would be cheaper to organise your own tours with friends.
Dining facilities were good but the food is tilted to the American cuisine and the use of some of the dining areas were not well publicised. The food in the open dining area is rather average though there is wide variety of food.
Good compact cabin with a balcony overlooking the sea
We just walked around the port
We did our own tour
