This was a cruise around the Adriatic with excellent ports stops. Most easily walkable if you were not doing ships excursions.

The Celebration is very popular with the UK market but I found it to be way way out of date. Its a very old ship that is constantly painted to cover the rust. The outside decks have dreadful stairs to negotiate and by the number of passengers with bandaged legs looks like some have accidents. The cabin are very small and very dark and old fashioned. Small beds, and dark and depressing. The shower area has an absolutely dire shower curtain and its pretty difficult to stop water going onto floor. Most of the ship is over air conditioned meaning that you ate quickly or took food outside to get away from it.

Not sure how good this cruise is for staff as our cabin steward was constantly behind his peers and he begged us at the end of the cruise to give him a good review. Very uncomfortable about hours they appear to work and conditions they work under that it actually detracted further from our holiday. The staff are excellent and a credit to the ship, always cheerful despite the long long time away from their families.
