Chose cruise to experience Celebrity ship for the first time after 39 cruises with other brands. After Azamara we found this to be nearly as good, but more entertainment. Clean ship with very attentive crew. Music too loud. Smooth embarkation and disembarkation. We used private tour company, ships tours too crowded, Alla tours with maximum of 16 people and better content much better than last time we came to the Baltic. Service on board was good, food better than some other lines. Daytime activities on sea days are somewhat poor. Lectures very poor. We are going again but somewhere warmer so that there is more room in the ship when people can get outside. Shops much too expensive and not much variety. A whole shop selling Michael Korrs handbags? No everyday items available, the sale items were the same as on all ships and were the same old stuff day after day. Alcohol was rather expensive considering it was supposed to be duty free.
