Ship was clean, nice layout & friendly staff. The staff taking care of our cabin was very responsive. The food in the Opus dining room was very good. Our waiter made suggestions each evening and didn't steer us wrong. Great red wine selection. But all of this can't overcome the negatives and pull this rating up above anything but poor to average.

There are not enough activities to do on this ship. BORING. Come on Celebrity, we want to be amused and entertained. We want options and choices. I traveled the Princess Regal last Thanksgiving and there were so many things to do throughout the day. On Princess, I had to choose between an activiy I really wanted to do and anothe activity I really wanted to do!! The sea day itinaries on Celebrity were filled with self promotions to lead you into buying something for your aching feet, your skin, etc. Sprinkled between those snoozers were a handful of activies that had extra charges attached. The enterntainment was average except for the ventriloquist, who was exceptional. If you like music they did have a few music related events and venues. No sports bar, no comedy club, no piano bar, no karaoke, bars that weren't open except for a few hours which forced you to go to one that was two deep with other cruisers looking to be served...again, BORING.

Bar service was terrible. They have too few servers so the lines at the bars were long while you competed with out guests for the bartenders attention. And forget about having a server come up to you while you are relaxing by one of the pools and offer to get you a drink. They made appearances every so often to pick up empty bottles. I don't know if there is any motivation for the few servers they do have since they tack on an automatic 18% gratuity. And then there are the drink packages that many cruisers buy, so if you have already spent the money on the alcohol package they can save money and make more margin by making it difficult to get a drink.
