We chose to do the Christmas /New Year cruise as something different over the holiday period , my wife ,two children (12 & 8) and parents throughly enjoyed our 12 night cruise, from embarkment in Sydney which we were on the ship with 20 min of arriving at the pier, first thing was to sign the kids up for the Kids Club (fun factory) , as we had not seen many reviews about the kids club we were concerned about keeping the occupied, the kids loved it and didn't want to leave each night , whilst it is open to 1.00 am, we made a point of collecting the kids at 10.00 pm ... the dining options had plenty of choices , with the Oceanview & Grand Epernay being our choice most nights - we did go to Silk Harvest one night and once again very impressed. The entertainment was good we felt that the ships entertainers were of a much higher quality than the Speciality acts brought on board , overall no complaints and will travel with celebrity again in the future.
