this was our eighth cruise, and was the best, up to now, have a cruise booked in march with celebrity , of course. We sailed on the 13th June from Harwich. this was the first time that we had driven to a home port for embarkation, and it could not have been smoother. in no time we were aboard, and set off to explore the ship. the ship was in perfect condition. the crew were very good, and no complaints about anything. the captain of this ship was the best we have come across, he was a hands on captain, he was everywhere, taking part in events, and being young he seemed to enjoy meeting passengers. he was a breath of fresh air. all the crew were the same, very lively and all doing their work, and still being friendly at all times. this makes for a great atmosphere. the food was great, we went to main dining every day, and had breakfast and lunch at the buffet, or the pool deck. the entertainment was varied, and we always found something to interest us. the ports of call were all so good, I really think that I would like to do the Baltic again. when sadly we had to leave the ship, once again, so smooth, and well organised, we could not believe just how easy it all went. thank you celebrity

one problem was that we ended up sitting on a table for six, but being on our own for the entire trip.Tthe first eventing a couple joined us, but stated that they preferred buffet dining, so we did not see them again. perhaps we should have asked to be moved, but then should the dining room management have taken care of it?
