we are usually princess cruisers. we had noticed the celebrity boats when we would board our ship in ft. Lauderdale. always looked maintained. people had always spoken highly of their cruise experience with celebrity..... we checked em out,,found a great deal on a 2 week cruise and there u go !! we had no downside to our cruise, food was great entertainment was just fine,,our balcony cabin was clean and the steward took great care of us. we liked it so well,,,,,while we were on the boat,,they ran a promotion,,,,so we booked 2 more weeks this coming January !!! in my opinion,,,,they are similar to princess,,they try hard to be very good at what they do. only glitch was the deboarding process. that didn't go real well,,but we were told that they were already working on a cure for the ails of getting off the boat. we are glad to add celebrity to our potential cruising partner.
