We just got hoe yesterday from a wonderful Med cruise on the Galaxy.

Don't kow what the fuss is all about. The shup was in good condition and everything was up the high Celebrity standards.

I don't complain much and enjoy the TOTAL experience while in a cruise. I know this is an older ship so I don't expect it to look like one that has just joined the fleet. How could it? However, I was looking for things that could be improved or looked shabby on this ship because of all the chatter on the boards about her. Not true! I think they need new dining room chairs. They were old and could use new padding..however, this did not take away from the wonderful experience on the Galaxy. I certainly would cruise her again. Still like the Mercury best but Itinerary is more important that the ship' decore and ambiance anyway.

There were 8 kids on this cruise but we never saw them. Certain more kids are cruising during the summer and school vacation times. Perfect for us, our kids are grown and this could have been an "adult only" cruise.

The Galaxy's entertainment on this cruise was the best we have experienced at sea, and that is saying something. Sorry I don't have another cruise booked now, will have to search the Med offers and see what I can find. Want to head back to Europe for another 10-dayer. This is the second best cruise we have taken, number one was the South Pacific.

Happy cruising and if you select the Galaxy you will not be disappointed.
