Creator's Key Takeaways

The food was incredible. The ship was stunning.

Celebrity caters to an older crowd who appreciate the quieter, more refined atmosphere.

The buffet or as they call it the Ocean View Cafe was fantastic.

Entertainment is where celebrity lost me a little bit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask yourself what kind of vacation you are looking for before booking Celebrity.
If you don't have a drink package on Celebrity, prepare for sticker shock and consider getting one.
For Diamond and Diamond Plus members, the benefits from matching to Elite and Elite Plus are a step down from Royal Caribbean.
