We chose this cruise for the destination. It was my second cruise (my 1st was with Celebrity in 2017 to Alaska) and my husband's first cruise. We were in a suite. Embarkation from the Port of Dublin was a nightmare and took just shy of two hours. Our cabin was 2210 located aft on deck 12. We liked the layout of the cabin (sofa near balcony). The bathroom was spacious and had lots of storage. The cabin itself had sufficient storage as well. All was in good condition except the sofa was a little threadbare. We could hear a little scraping of chairs from the Sunset Bar above, but mostly in the morning. It was not enough to bother us. Our cabin steward kept our cabin clean and stocked. Our butler was eager and pleasant but was not as present as he should have been. He failed to continuously stock breakfast room service order forms and we had to ask for them. He failed to ask us if we intended to attend the performances, but we showed up anyway to be seated in the reserved seating area. We had to remind him several times for the blankets that we had requested to use on our balcony. He did clear the refrigerator and keep it stocked with water as we had requested.

We ate breakfast in our room and were pleased with the quality of the food and timeliness of delivery. The food was warm, but not hot. The coffee was hot. We at most of the rest of our meals in Luminae. The service was exceptional. The food was very good. We did note, though, that the cooked fish dishes were what we considered over-cooked. We ate at the Porch once for lunch and found it very good. We also at Sushi on 5 for lunch and found it very good. The ramen was warm but not hot, but everything else was very good. We had lunch at the Ocean View Café once and found the service very good and the food good as well. We arrived right as lunch service opened and had no trouble finding a table. We were approached by wait staff several times asking if we had a drink order and tables were cleared quickly.

We tried a number of the lounges. We enjoyed Michael's lounge for suite guests. Staff were very friendly and professional. They remembered us and our usual drink orders. We enjoyed the several times that entertainment was provided there. Our usual lounge, besides Michaels, was the Ensemble Lounge. We enjoyed the live music there. It could have used another waiter. The bar staff and wait staff were very busy and the wait to put in a drink order was a bit long. We particularly enjoyed the performer Charlotte who played acoustic guitar and sang. We saw the guest performers but not the Celebrity shows. We enjoyed the guest performers in the theater. We enjoyed the silent disco twice. The dance floor was packed both times. We also enjoyed the Beatles review and again the dance floor was packed. We did a Ridele wine tasting that focused on the most appropriate type of glass for a wine. The wines served were very good, the presenter was well informed and a good speaker. Read more
