To start with a little bit about myself. I am 47 years old and I love to cruise. My wife & I have been on 13 cruises. And we both agreed this was in the top 3. THE CABIN #8265 hump cabin: The cabin was like all Balcony cabins over all. But it felt larger do to the carved wall. There was plenty of storage area and the bathroom was of ample size. We both liked the foot bar in the shower (easy to wash feet with and for wife shave her legs) and all shampoo and soap ect. fit nicely in wire holding rack. what we don't like was where the toilet paper as placed hard to get to, so we just removed it and placed on the counter in the plastic tray. And the water faucet was out over sink to far the counter stayed wet. But the best part of the cabin was the TV, free movies to chose from, lots of music choices and you could even pause your movie for up to 48 hours. THE SHIP : What can I say, It is amazingly beautiful to see it is to appreciate it. The ship is laid out well, everything was in easy walking distance (but our cabin was in the mid ship area). The Theater was little small compared to other ships of this size, But they were not crawled on this cruise. Also bar service was a little slow in the Theater. The ship had lots of nice places to sit and read or just enjoy your time alone, all the furniture was very comfortable through out the ship. Our favorite place was at the sky lounge, music, dancing and fun at night. All the shops were to high end for us $32.95 was to much for a t-shirt. So we spent very little money "Thanks Celebrity" please build more ships like this and I will just keep my spending money. THE FOOD: We thought the food was very good overall, the Oceanview Cafe was laid out well with a lot of choices (it was the best buffet we have ever had on a cruise ship).The specialty restaurants were worth the sir-charge. We ate at all three specialty restaurants and the Tuscan Grill was our favorite. The steaks were wonderful and the onion soup was some of the best we have ever had. Don't forget the chocolate fondue. The MDR was still good, but not as good as it use to be just a few short years ago. THE ENTERTAINMENT: NEEDS HELP! The Theater shows were only ok nothing to write home about. If I ever return to this ship I will not waste time on the shows. However, the musical entertainment was very good although play times were to short. .
