2nd cruise with Celebrity & 15th cruise overall. Got to port around 12:30 & onboard in 10 min. Upon entering they offered us champagne. They had 10 cabin stewards just standing there, none directed us anywhere but said we could go up to the buffet. No escort. Rooms would be ready by 1pm.

We went to our room & it was ready. Had the lunch buffet, nothing spectacular. Favorite "buffet foods" were the omelette & sandwich stations but not the "hot sandwich of the day" which was never grilled long enough to make it hot-too rushed. Best meals were in the dining rooms. Excellent pastry & bread chefs who excel over any other major cruise lines. Also have great fr. yogurt and ice cream. Great appetizer choices. Main entrees were hit & miss esp. fish which I usually order. Beef as others had mentioned was much better. Our dining room staff was great & accommodating for special orders.

Our cabin was a basic inside w/more drawer & cabinet space than we needed. Just wish the bed was just a few inches higher so we could put our big bags under it instead of inside one of the closets. Did ask for a mattress pad as the bed really needed it. Bathroom needs work, the "chrome" mirror stripping had peeled off to some odd looking plaster gunk. Rehab needed in public areas for sofas & chairs - gym could use updated equipment. It will look wonderful after the May drydock. Great activities staff w/lots to do which made it hard to decide what to miss. Love the production shows w/singers & dancers who put their hearts into it. With the choppy seas we were having, I'm surprised that we only had one dancer fall and she was on roller skates! Guest performers - Antonio Salci a pop/classical pianist who was too schmaltzy for me and Joe Mulligan a comedian/guitar player who was definitely different & made everyone laugh inc. me. Read more
