15 night from San Diego to Hawaii, and return. April 20-May 5, 2012.
I consider myself a seasoned cruiser, (20 something) but this was my first Celebrity cruise. I was automatically assigned "Select" with Captain's Club, due to my Royal Caribbean status.
I spent a couple days in San Diego pre-cruise at the Holiday Inn Express, downtown.....not much around that area....except hills. I did the Zoo, and some sight seeing. The (free) hotel shuttle service was excellent.
