This cruise was part of imagine cruising itinerary, golden triangle for 6days then cruise.
Enjoyed Dubai , wish we had more time in Abu Dhabi and Muscat . Usual hassle with Indian red tape and visas , but not celebrity’s fault . Unfortunately felt ship was showing its age in certain areas especially in communal areas , we prefer aqua class , but here again not quite up to mark as far as cabin goes , not much power in shower even when head replaced! Dinning was good especially in Blu and Tuscan grill , buffet lunch did tend to be a little samey and could be better organised but it is a smaller ship alround , which also meant fewer areas to just sit and relax with a coffee or a drink , martini bar was far too noisy which was a shame as we usually go there for pre dinner drinks. Can’t comment on shows , only went to one but it was ok . The service was good every where just what you’d expect from celebrity . Bit disappointed by on board shopping choices .
Very disappointed in shore excursion in Dubai for 4x4 dune drive camel ride and refreshments , camel ride was only once around parking area and refreshments not really Bedouin style .
Would have much preferred one with out the large overhang , which meant we didn’t get sun in day , but none available when we booked . Apart from poor power in shower room was fine , but could do with being upgraded .
