We chose it because our 3 previous cruises with Celebrity. Which were all excellent. Embarkarkation did not go as smoothly as we had hoped, but the disembarkationn was good no problems. The first impressions of the ship were how clean everything looked,and how nice to be greeted with lots of smiling faces. The cabin was quite spacious with plenty of storage space, also spotless no issues there. We found the dining experience vry good food excellent has usual.And all though we often arrived in the dining room at the busiest time are maximum waiting time was 10 minuites. The on board entertainment was good, and so were the on boad activities. The service all around the ship was excellent. Bars Dining Room etc. Only did one shore excursion which was good vry well organised. We will definatley be booking again with Celebrity, and encouraging our friends and family to do the same
