Wasn't sure about choosing this ship because the reviews seemed mixed but ultimately the itinerary and dates were the best for our travel needs. I'm so glad we chose it and would definitely do so again! There were minor dislikes but overall an EXCELLENT experience.

The entertainment in the ship lounges was terrific. The house band, the Cardinals, the acoustic duo. All wonderful. The main stage shows were hit and miss. Mostly misses. Although well done with strong vocals, production quality and the aerial act was great, the big productions suffered from terrible scripts mixed with popular music for a laughable combination. With all the talent in the music industry, this is one area where Celebrity could definitely use some major improvement. The show times were frustrating as we had late dining at 8:45 p.m. and the shows were scheduled for 10:30 p.m. With a table of 8, our dinner was often rushed and a couple of nights we just skipped dessert.

Service in all areas was great, buffet options at Oceanview Cafe were very good, room service breakfast was a treat, and we loved the stops in Olympia, Corfu, two days in Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Cruise sailed from Venice and we spent a couple of days there, too. Read more
