To Infinity and beyond!

Modern Luxury is what Celebrity is all about and is what they deliver. The service and staff on board the ship was outstanding and the size and quality of the cabins (including the inside cabins) and suites were impressive too.

Pre-dinner drinks in the Martini Bar was a delightful experience and post-dinner drinks at Crush was totally cool with its ice-topped bar! The quality of food in the buffet and main restaurants was superb and the choice of meals varied and diverse. I also enjoyed a delicious French crepe lunch at the quieter ‘Bistro on Five’ and when I just felt like a light healthy snack the ‘AquaSpa Café’ offered a varied selection of snacks and salads to choose from. The highlight for me was dinner at ‘Qsine’ where we were taken on a culinary journey of textures and tastes all ordered from an iPad – although the waiters did offer much needed advice!

The gym, spa and thalassotherapy pool provided wellbeing and relaxation so even a rainy day in Le Havre was put to good use!

We were only on-board for 4 nights and decided not to get off in Le Havre – the weather was fabulous so we relaxed by the pool, soaked up the rays and made use of the fantastic gym and Canyon Ranch SpaClub.

We were invited onto the Bridge for cocktails with the Captain and crew and watched the sunset over Ile de Re and enjoyed a fascinating tour of the kitchens with the head chef. We even sampled afternoon tea at Michael's Club....totally spoilt! My favourite port of call (and a place I had always been interested in visiting) was La Rochelle which is a pretty French harbour town with great fish restaurants, shops and cafes. It's possible to hire bicycles for the day to explore and there are also boat trips to can take you to the off shore island of Ile de Re where you can laze on the beautiful beaches.

Celebrity Cruises are stylish, contemporary and would appeal to many age groups (families can make use of Toddler time, the Fun factory and X club for kids and teens), couples (Aquaclass in particular), honeymooners and those celebrating a special occasion or wedding anniversary.

Celebrity offer a fabulous experience all round! Cruising is no longer just for the retired!
