We'd heard mixed reviews on this ship and were pleasantly surprised on how much we liked it. It was a good size, not too big or too small. The staff on the ship provided a high level of service and was extremely friendly. There were a lot of late night entertainment options besides gambling, which we didn't see on our crusie on Princess. Captain Kate was awesome - great, humorous announcements and she really enjoys her job and enteracting with the guests. It was refreshing to have a young captain, and you've got to love the fact that she's the first American female ship captain. There were a few times when we'd see worn upholestery or wall coverings, but nothing that impacted the quality of our trip. I'd heard good things about the food on Celebrity - the food in the buffet was better than what I'd had on Princess; the food in the main dining room was usually good, though the main dishes and desserts were nothing spectacular. The food in Qsine was extremely good, worth the extra charge if you have OBC. We loved the martinis at Crush and the coffee at Al Baccio. We'd definitely go back on this ship again.
