This is a lovely ship. It features Celebrity' unique style in decorating, which may not be everyone's taste but is still tasteful. Great effort was made to give this ship an upscale look so it could be positioned somewhere between the RCL type ship and the true luxury lines.

Some aspects of the service were excellent. Our steward was attentive and helpful. The staff in the dining room did their best in what is clearly a situation where there is less staff than in the past and those working are stretched more thinly. It shows, and it is not clear why Celebrity has decided to decrease customer service here. The food was very good---far better than on a Celebriy cruise we took 3 years ago where everything was bland a pretty cheap. On this cruise one could have fillet beef of once recipe or another at least 6 nights. We found most of the dining selections tasteful, well presented, and interesting. Clearly the put their best chefs here and have rescinded any prior policies of downscaling the dining room food.

There were some areas that were amazing, like the public restrooms that always had attendants during peak periods and were spotless and spacious. Then there were others that made one wonder what Celebrity had been thinking, starting with the stateroom and the "concierge" level.
