This was our first Celebrity - we love Royal Caribbean but decided to check out Celebrity.

The ship was very tastefully decorated and was stunningly beautiful.My husband loved it so much that we changed our next sailing to a sister ship. The ship does not have the promenade of RCI but smaller public areas. To me, the ship felt empty a lot of the time,but that was great for this itinerary which was less about the ship and more about the ports.For this itinerary the ship was perfect.

Dining: We were in aqua class so we ate at Blu the majority of the time. Disappointed at first because the wait staff was terrible - but a different waiter made all the difference and we requested him the rest of the time. We ate at all 3 specialty restaurants and enjoyed them. I think 150 Central on RCI has them beat, but a personal opinion.I enjoyed Silk Harvest a lot, maybe because we didn't have a high expectation, but the food was wonderful and the service was top notch. I think we ate at the buffet once and it was okay. Two formal nights for this sailing -not quite as dressy as RCI Oasis class Read more
