She has been the most talked about ship in the industry lately. The green real grass lawn on the top deck, the glass blowing show and even the solar power solarium has caught attention by the media and consumers alike. On November 12th, we had a chance to sail on her as she had just arrived from Europe and I can tell you, everything that has been said (and a lot has) holds true. This ship is remarkable in so many ways, and I will try to touch upon the details that I was impressed with.Beginning with the ship design, this ship is the largest Celebrity has built and not only does it have a multilevel dining room, a buffet and pool side grill; she also sports 4 specialty restaurants
that include a Spa, Asian, Italian and French styled choices. We had Dinner in Murano’s which is the French restaurant and the food and service was top notch. I still look at pictures of my baked lobster and escargot stuffed tortellinis with much enjoyment. Getting to the restaurants is also a delight since you walk through 
a hallway off to the side of the ship that is dimly lit with flowers painted on the walls and insects on the walls and floors. The scent of flowers and the crickets chirping while mood music played completed the effect, which I thought was extremely unique.On the top deck where the now famous lawn club exists, you can play bocce ball, take in putting practice or just sit and enjoy the manicured grass. I must say it is rather surreal walking on grass in bare feet steaming about in the middle of the Caribbean, but nonetheless relaxing.
Next to the lawn, they have a glass blowing show designed and created by Corning which is a fun diversion, where you can have the chance to win one of their creations. Unique, but once you see it, you probably will not go back to see it again.The Solarium, as I mentioned earlier has great cushioned lounge chairs and a number of small cabanas for relaxing while above you thousands of small solar panels suck up the sunlight. They use this electricity on board to supplement the generators, but I do not
think it really adds to the bottom line. Interesting, yet undecided.The cabins are quite nice with leather couch, 32” LCD TV, comfortable beds and bathroom amenities. Our cabin was a balcony room and that is definitely the way to cruise if you can afford it.
Overall this ship has plenty more to offer, from pool side to entertainment to shopping; but let’s just say, spending time on her would definitely make one agree that they went to great lengths to make this a great ship to sail on. I guess that is why they plan to build 3-4 more just like her.
