- Absolutely wonderful from start to finish - ship very clean, cabin spacious and balcony added to it. Staff very warm and friendly and extremely helpful. Our waiters in the Restaurant couldnt do enough for us (Horas was a wonderful warm man and he entertained with his majic tricks which we couldnt see through). Food was plentiful and extremely good either in the restaurant or in the self-service area (although at times tables were hard to find - although not impossible). The only downside was the price of drinks (with the added 15% on each) although not heavy drinkers it did work out expensive for a glass of wine at dinner and two drinks during the evening each. Plus the waiters coming round all time on deck was a bit of a pain. Excursions were expensive but very good (we did the whale watching). The entertainment was great and the guy who was entertainment director was brilliant - the dancers and singers first class - although we were not impressed with the magician. We also had a guy most entertaining and informative who told us all about the wildlife in the area his name was Milos. Scenery although mentioned last cannot be described in words just spectacular - and we had wonderful weather as well. All in all well done Celebrity we will cruise with you again.
