I just read covemanb 12/18 review and it was right on target. My wife and I took three Celebrity cruises last winter and this one was by far the worst. The entertainment was poor. No bands during the day at the pool, no music at the pool , and no place to sit at the pool since they only have 125 lounge chairs and around 3000 passengers. Night entertainment was BB King and strings every night. They were fine for one night--maybe two.

They had a comedian and illusionist in the Main stage for two nights. Comedian was funny for five minutes and illusionist was boring and performed the same act that you've seen a hundred times. His card tricks were boring. Anyone that watched last season of AGT would have fallen asleep at his card tricks. There were two good shows in the Mainstage performed by the Cruise entertainers.

Breakfast at the buffet was the same every day. You had to stand in long lines and wait to be served. Celebrity at least featured some new items daily for breakfast and it was self serve. No banana bread for the entire cruise offered for breakfast.
