Sail Date: Nov 2012
Cabin: Deluxe Veranda 2C

We flew from London Heathrow, and the new Terminal 5 is so much easier, on British Airways. We upgraded our flights to World Traveller Plus instead of upgrading our stateroom, and it was well worth the small extra cost. The actual flights were excellent and on time and very smooth both ways.

After 9 1/2 long hours Miami Airport once again did it's best to spoil things, three hours from landing until we actually reached the doors and found the Celebrity Reps. The immigration process was once more horrendous, intermable queues and the usual gimlet stare from immigration officials. Miami, this is not "welcome to the USA". I appreciate that this was a Friday night and also the start of Thanksgiving week but this is just not acceptable.

Finally we were transported to the Sheraton on Seabreeze Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. By this time it was 3.00am our time. The hotel was fine, clean and comfortable and we had a good breakfast the following morning.
