I've been very fortunate over the years to enjoy many different cruise lines; however, RCCL and Celebrity are my favorite after trying many different ships. Very pleased Cel. finally banned smoking inside the ship (incl. casino, bars) as 2nd hand smoke drifts into cabins & you're breathing it all nite while you sleep. We so wish RCCL would do the same with their line. Cel. is owned by RCCL; if they banned it, both lines would become a real step above Holland, Princess, & Norwegian.

The ship was neat. clean & tidy; attendants in the restrooms near the theater & Ocean buffet were appreciated & a nice touch. If only they would ban smoking completely from the ship, as we're so smoke free in Calif. It's time to make the change on Cel. & RCCL. Even if smoking is limited to certain area of outside deck, it still drifts & spoils the fresh air & brand image of Celebrity.

Cabin: inside, located on deck 11, upgraded; a very good location; one level up to fitness center & next level up to Sky Lounge; cabin attendant was very good. Amenities, soap, lotion were very nice. Would be good if you had greater assortment of int'l. tv stations since this ship attracts guests from all over the world. Read more
