we selected the best of shri lanka and asia as we had never been to any of the ports of call. from that perspective really good but the ship was not up to usual celebrity standards. very tired and in need of refit which is scheduled for early May. the cruise line did not make us aware and the cruise was at full price with no discounts for condition. the food was only average and the entertainment well below what we have enjoyed on previous Celebrity cruises. the tours were all expensive and not well described - too many visits to jewel stores but with no time to look around even if you wanted to buy (45 mins). these were key stops even though we expected to visit temples, mosques and more interesting places. would not recommend to any one else and suggest careful check with cruise line before committing to a vacation
the bed cover valance was dirty and ripped, the duvet cover had holes in it, the bathroom was very tired and the shower poor. no shower gel provided, only soap, no in cabin fettle of coffee machine, not hard spirits allowed to be brought on board and all beverages very expensive and included an automatic 18% gratuity in addition to the fixed gratuity per cabin - way too much
