This was first cruise with Celebrity for us (after 3 with Carnival) and overall it was a great experience. My wife upgraded us to Aqua class which was a great move. We walked into the large terminal at Cape Liberty and were ushered to a separate check-in area and were on the ship very quickly. Consistent with other reviews we had read, the new rooms on the 11th deck were smaller than others we had on previous cruises but adequate enough. We had excellent cabin service throughout the cruise and enjoyed the treats that came with Aqua class.

We didn't take much advantage of the free spa option that came with Aqua but did enjoy eating in the specialty restaurant, Blu, every night. I had a few nights of difficulty getting drink orders, but once I got our excellent Maitre'd involved, the attention was excellent. I don't think others had any issues -- it seems that once you get started with regular drinks from the same staff, they remember what you want and were very attentive and pleasant. We typically had breakfast at the Waterfall Cafe as the made to order omelets and the plentiful sides were more than adequate. We had lunch just once in the dining area which was fine but we preferred the quick buffet meals of Waterfall and for a fast stop, the pizza and burgers were very good.

I hit the gym every morning early so there weren't many lines. My wife did some yoga which she didn't really care for but she loved the spa treatment (massage) that she had. There were some good shows and having the dancers do their thing and teach others in the Revelations Lounge was a nice touch. The highlight may have been the pianist, who was excellent. (His playing along to Lady Gaga video was great). We couldn't get enough of Nestor Santurio, whose personality, showmanship and Spanish guitar flair were amazing enough for my wife to buy his CDs.

Cabin Review

Smaller than previous cruises and a bit crowded between the bathroom and closets. Overall adequate.
