We love Celebrity ships, Staff and Itineraries and have made many friends that we meet up with from time to time. We are now Elite and enjoy the perks that it gives us onboard. We have found that there is less on offer as small things are removed from each sailing to keep the line competitive. The staff are mostly very hard working and friendly. The Main Dining Room menu could do with a revamp as the puddings are so boring with little choice. Formal nights ( or Chic) are now a joke with anything goes in the Main Dining Room! The Officers are always friendly and visible.
Tendering was handled well for Elite.
Times are in ports of call and itinerary was good, but keep an eye on changes in the months leading up to the cruise.
Clean, quiet, not far to walk to either end of the ship.
Very easy to get around on your own, been many times. If you have only a short day visit Marina Bay Gardens, get a taxi by walking out of the port buildings, lots waiting there and much cheaper. You can board the Hop on Hop Off Bus from the covered area in the port. An ATM is available on the second floor as you exit the port as is Tourist information. There is a money exchange desk and free wi-fix as you enter a he port.
We have been before so had a relaxing day onboard the first day then hired a taxi from the stand to take us to an elephant farm, the Temple of Truth and the Floating Market. Had a good day but the driver didn't speak a lot of English. You get what you pay for, in this case it did not matter as we only needed a driver not a guide. The taxi was very new and comfortable.
