The start of our holiday was stressful as ever ... due to a 4.5 hour flight delay out of O'Hare, we missed our connection in Amsterdam! We made several calls to Celebrity during all of this to notify them of our status. When we finally landed at BCN, they were waiting! Whisked us off in a private taxi and we jumped on board with only 5 minutes to spare ... carried on our own luggage to find a fantastic balcony cabin on the 8th floor :) Quickly walked around and found our way to the back deck for a glass of wine to enjoy the sail away. Wow, we were in heaven from that moment!

We often spent time on the back deck for sail away and the waiters/bartenders were absolutely fantastic! Hello Charles! Everyday after 9-11 hours in port we were so happy to come back and enjoy a relaxing sail-away with our favorite waiters. Great place to have some sushi also as the sushi bar opened each day at 5pm. Everyone loved the sushi bar and took full advantage each day when they opened for a great, healthy snack.

This ship and cruise was awesome. Every single thing about about it. The service and food were great. After we walked ourselves to death in every port ... we really were not motivated to dress up for dining room standards so we often dined at the casual dining area. GREAT CONCEPT! The sea bass was great ... service was too and we could enjoy in comfort at our pace. The entertainment was so nice every evening we did not want to spend much time dining ... casual dining was the perfect choice. We fell in love with the music of Franklin and the string quartet and also the Neptunes so we had quite busy evenings following them around! The shows were also very entertaining and often quite funny. The last day at sea we booked dinner at Murano. WOW. Fantastic! Good thing it was my last night or we may have eaten there every night!
