Celebrity food and service were both exceptional! Ship may be showing a bit of age, but the crew and service remain outstanding! Dining room food some of the best experienced in many cruises. Bar staff and service great throughout the ship, especially the Martini Bar (Ice Bar!). Check-in process at the pier seemed a bit awkward, but no serious problems. The cruise buffet food was not the best we have experienced, but still very good. Specialty restaurants were outstanding! Several entertainment shows were outstanding! Great options for shore excursions, and the itinerary was excellent.

As always, cruises departing from Rome give a great opportunity to explore Rome, and we arrived three days early to do just that. Ports on the itinerary like Malta, Israel, and Crete were exceptional, and not ports normally seen on Med cruises. Definitely an itinerary we would take again. Price, service, food and itinerary made the cruise outstanding for us!
