From the moment we walked onboard, it was clear this isn’t just another new ship with shinier carpets and a few renamed venues. Some of what Celebrity Cruises has done here feels genuinely different. If you’ve cruised before, you probably think you already know what a “modern cruise ship” looks like. Bigger ship, more restaurants, nicer cabins, job done. That’s exactly why this surprised us. There are spaces onboard we’ve never seen on any cruise ship before, food that actually stopped us mid-conversation.

And don’t worry — this isn’t a glossy brochure tour. We’re taking you inside the most talked-about areas, trying the food everyone’s buzzing about, and giving you our completely honest opinions on what works, what doesn’t, and what actually feels special for real cruise travellers.
