Cabin: Concierge Class 3

BACKGROUND: My wife and I are both 50+ and now cruise at least twice a year. We've only cruised on Princess (Platinum card) and Carnival (Platinum card) but decided to try Celebrity since we found a really good rate for a Concierge cabin on this repositioning cruise. We're easy to please, use an AAA travel agent and always book a balcony cabin BUT we're always on the lookout for the best deal. We tend to book an aft cabin on a deck or two below Lido and the casual buffet eateries. That way we're close to the food but always use the stairs so we do get some exercise (LOL).

ARRIVAL: The flight to Newark, NJ was somewhat of a nightmare. Half of our baggage wound up in Philadelphia while we were in Newark, NJ. YIKES! The US Airways rep and the Celebrity "Meet & Greet" folks (at the airport) were very helpful in getting us on the ship then bringing our luggage from the Newark airport to the ship JUST before the ship set sail. I'll be sending out e-mails to Celebrity and US Airways complimenting those folks for a job well done! I was glad we purchased the transfers from Celebrity prior to the cruise. Other than that, we checked in at the ship around 2:45 with no lines, dropped off our remaining luggage and headed up to the Lido for food.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 3

Cabin C3

Support beams at 45 degree angle that went between cabins up to the overhang on the Lido deck above - the view was somewhat obstructed - for unobstructed view book a cabin on Deck 8. Sometimes/rarely noisy. Plenty of storage space BUT the closets are right across from the bathroom - can't open the bathroom door and closet doors at the same time. Tight fit walking between the foot of the bed and the wall.
