This was our first cruise with Celebrity. We were traveling as a couple only this time. Our first cruise was with teenage sons on Carnival. Celebrity is more my speed, and we enjoyed the ship and its amenities very much.
Entertainment was good to excellent. We particularly enjoyed the solo guitarist and the duo and would look for them on the activity sheet when planning our evenings on board. We booked the late dinner seating and ate in the main dining room each night. Perhaps I am missing out on the specialty restaurant experience, but I don't really see the value in upgrading for $50/person when the mdr is pretty fine in its own right. Staff in the mdr was excellent. Elias and Mark, and our sommelier Reuben took very good care of us.
The Cellar Masters bar and the Martini and Molecular bars all had great offerings and the Bacio Cafe was a really nice touch. A coffee selection like Starbucks with friendly table service.
Port side aft. Configured with bed closer to door. I like this configuration since I did not have to worry about tripping over a coffee table when navigating to the restroom in the dark.
