This was my 5th cruise and 2nd on Celebrity. I would like to thank everyone on board including my stateroom attendant Gede, my restaurant waiter Suliana and waitress Alina for providing an impeccable service and attention. The ship is absolutely beautiful. This time I chose an Aqua Class cabin with the balcony and let me say this, it is such a big difference from my previous sailings in interior cabin. If anyone tells you don't waste your money on balcony cabins, don't listen to them, it makes a huge difference in overall experience. Just imagine waking up in the morning to the beautiful sunrise right from your room. The stateroom attendant paid very close attention to our needs and the room was cleaned every time we came back, sometimes he'd clean it several times a day. With Aqua class you get access to a smaller, more intimate restaurant called Blu and also access to Persian Garden which has wet and dry sauna with nice warm beds to relax in. Great perk, we used it almost every day. The pool outside was nice but it was often crowded with people; we used pool and hot tub inside the Solarium area. The food quality and variety was very good, even in the buffet area. We made it a point to dine in Blu every night and we were not disappointed. Great selection of dishes including lobster tail, steaks, fish, variety of appetizers, and the presentation was amazing. We also tried a specialty restaurant called Murano for lunch. It is a French themed restaurant and we were extremely pleased with food and service. Definitely worth $40 for 2. There were several other restaurants on board but we were so happy with Blu that did not think spending $70-100 was worth it. There were plenty on board activities and the evening entertainment was top notch. Dancing, singing, acrobats, comedy act by Mike Wilson, Motown singers, were all great. Every night we left the show extremely pleased. And, of course, the cruse director, awesome guy named Maarten. He kept us entertained throughout the entire cruise. We met so many nice people and had great conversations. I am a very critical person by nature and it takes a lot to impress me, and I have to say, I was impressed. The only comment I want to make is in regards to Excursions; don't waste $39 on Beach Break excursion in Cozumel Playa Mia beach. It was a tourist trap with tons of people, murky water and lots of rocks in water, not even close to what you'd call a sandy beach. The sand was only until you step into the water, then watch out for rocks. If you want go to go the beach, just take a taxi to Paradise beach, it will cost you much less and the beach is better, based on my previous experience. In conclusion, this was an amazing trip and we were sad to leave the ship. THANK YOU

Great cabin. Aqua Class, with balcony. Excellent view out. Very comfortable beds, nice shower head and separate sitting area with a couch. The room is equipped with a flat screen TV, refrigerator, and a safe.
