Chose this cruise mostly because of itinerary. Really wanted to check out India even though it’s only by a cruise stop. We explored Dubai for four days before cabbing it to Abu to board the ship. What a GREAT city. These guys in Dubai have really got it together. Embark and disembark went great. Entertainment was great. We found one thing strange. A one time only special production show was offered at 11 pm in the theatre. REALLY? Also if get back late from a shore excursion the food offering between 4-6 is VERY limited.Food at all venues was perfectly acceptable. We had late fixed in the MDR. This is mass market cruising folks and we feel people just expect too much. This not your private yacht. People continually arrive late for dinner and mess up the serving routine for the whole table.Service in MDR was just fine. This ship is getting older but they are doing a good job at keeping her in good shape. Getting a cocktail in the evening was a bit of a challenge. So many people with drink packages on these Celebrity cruises bars are really busy. Martini bar so crowded we often just gave up. Bartenders seemed more concerned with providing a show than serving customers. Shore excusion in Mumbai are a challenge due to traffic. We chose a private car plus guide. Best decision EVER. Wish they would run morning cruise director info in a continuos loop without all the advertising between segments. All in all a good cruise ,sorry for my randomness,but we are Princess people and just know the product better..
