Just returned frm 'Exoctic Med' cruise. It was wondeful. ther were 4 of us athogether. We had cabin 4169 which my friend said on the first night "how can they rent this room out?"!!!!! It was ultra noisy due to being next to a lot of mechanical stuff! but we got used to the noise and were fine.There was a lot of space for clothes etc. the usual amenitites..shampoo no shower gel. that was the same for us on Grand Princess.
We were on 2nd sitting but just t a table of 4.Food was the usual as well .no different really from other cruise lines that I have been on.
Shows...production show were excellent nd some of the other artists were Ok but we had n Amerian ventriloquist and we did not find him very funny.He spent the whole time with one dummy.
The little extras on Celebrity.....champagne on arrival, flowers in cabin, chllee flannels after a hot day plus stewards handing out water, a trolley with tea and coffee and pastries available in lounges ,loads f waiters in self service just waiting to help you find a table and carry your tray.

We did have a problem with our loo. One night at 1a.m. we went to the cabin and found our bathmat all yellow and on opening the loo it was full to the brim with some one elses 'left overs'.We went to the desk immediately and they sent a plumber and a cleaner to sort it out right away!!!!!!!!
Would I Celeb again ...????? YES!!

One thing we had heavy seas going to Mykonos and it is the first time I felt oh so sick....even with Kwells.

I'm glad you enjoyed them Anthea. I know the "team" had a month together in Miami to rehearse. Very long days, and very demanding! Obviously having that time together practising works!! smilesmi

Their contracts are 7/8 months long!! They have to stay on board all that time!!( They're allowed to go ashore if they have no rehearsals etc!) Then they have a couple of months off and start on a new contract. The "teams" are new each time but generally 3 or 4 of them have been together before. She's on board now until late March! foxes_279

PS Their cabins are TINY and like passengers have to pay for all the extras on board....drinks, laundry etc!! eeksmi
