We chose this cruise because of the destinations. The embarkation was smooth and we were on the ship in no time. The cabin was spacious including both interior and balcony space and was kept impeccably by our cabin steward. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The dining in the main restaurant was enjoyable as the food was to a high standard most of the time. The entertainment was a bit mixed as you expect on cruises as you cant please everyone all the time. It was a very enjoyable cruise however there were some annoying niggles for one the ship berthed in remote moorings in both Stockholm (an hours drive to the city) which missed out sailing past the small islands leading to the port and also in Copenhagen where it berthed in an industrial site miles from the city whereas we could see when we got to town that Queen Victoria was berthed within walking distance of the town.

The ship itself lists it has room for 2800 guests however we were informed by the entertainment staff there were 3055 guests on board which compared to other cruises every bit of public space was crowded. There was little room to breathe on the open decks as passengers were packed like sardines on what were very stained cushions used for the sun loungers. Finally the desire to squeeze the last dollar from you would not have been out of place in the old double glazing world.

On a positive note seeing past these niggles we had a fantastic time the crew were great but I dont think I would use Celebrity again.
