This was our 4th cruise on Celebrity and it did not disappoint! We were a group of 4, my husband and I and another couple of cruising friends. Embarkation was a breeze! We were Concierge class, and the check in process took less than 10 minutes. Our room was ready - Stateroom 9300 and we met our Room Steward Boni right away. He was great, always accessible always smiling!

Our days fell into a pattern of meeting early at the Solarium pool and having a light breakfast at the small café that offered fruit and healthy options. The Solarium pool was never crowded, very peaceful and I have to say there were always an abundance of towels. We would then move outside - never had a problem finding lounge chairs, and enjoy the pool games and music at the outside pools. Lunch was always in the Ocean View Café and was very good - great selections, many items made to order and clean, clean, clean. Mid afternoons we either found our way to the Card Room, the Casino or enjoyed decadent Specialty Coffees and people watched. We had the Premier Drink package and the coffees were included. Ship personnel including the Captain were so personable - always stopped to chat, asking if we were enjoying the cruise . All ship officers seem to really enjoy their jobs great sense of humor. Be sure to check out the Dancing with the Officers contest & the Liars competition, you'll see what I mean!

For the first time we chose the Select Dining option...it worked well 5 out of 6 evenings - we always got the same table and the same set of waiters. (Moises the Head Waiter for Table 526 was wonderful!) The 6th night at a different table - not so good. To be fair I believe it was a problem in the kitchen - but to waiting 2 hours+ for the main entrée was ridiculous. Read more
