Embarkation was super fast. We arrived at the terminal around noon. Terminal 18 in Fort Lauderdale really has things streamlined. We got out of the cab and was on the ship in 15 minutes max. Once we boarded the ship, lunch was ready in the Oceanview Cafe.

Food. Food on this ship was above and beyond. Celebrity has there game together on the dining. Plenty of elbow room and space to walk around. Not once did I walk into the Ocean view Cafe and not find a seat, they were a plenty. We dined in Tuscan Grill which is a speciality restaurant as well as the Murano steak house, both were excellent and a true dining experience. The main dining room was as equally good. A good selection of food, great service and an attentive waitstaff.

Entertainment. Wow. Celebrity really pumps some money into their entertainment department. There was a cirque style show in the main theatre that will knock you socks off, if not by the plot, the special effects. The Cruise Director Lisa Richard was pretty amazing. She used to tour with Momma Mia and has an amazing set of vocal pipes. She actually sings a song from Momma Mia during the voyage. There was great enrichment programs on board too like navigational talks with the officers, behind the scenes tours and cooking demonstrations. The lawn club on the top deck was nice for picnics as well as the outdoor glass blowing shows. There is a lot of entertainment in the atrium too. Read more
