Additional details
Our 7 day cruise was part of our trip that started flying from Manchester UK by Virgin Atlantic to Orlando, overnighting then driving Alamo to Ft Lauderdale and flying to San Juan a day later. All aspects other than my poor choice of a hotel in Ft Lauderdale were 1st class however please AVOID the Red Carpet Inn on State Road 84, Ft Lauderdale, it's awful!!!
On Friday lunchtime we flew by Air Tran to San Juan and a $20 taxi ride got us to our pre-booked accommodation, the Conrad Hotel, Condado Plaza in San Juan which was first class if anyone needs a room sailing from there. Great ocean view room, superb rustic eating places along the same street and we were at the ships terminal for a further $10 taxi fare.
Embarkation - this was very quick, I would say we were probably amongst the first 300 or so on board and everything was very smooth and as we were told cabins were still being cleaned we went to the buffet for some lunch. This was our third Celebrity cruise, the first on the Summit and as ever the first impressions of the food were excellent. Shortly into the meal the message came over the loud speaker that cabins were ready.
Cabin Review
Cabin 8035. It was ideal, large enough for the two of us, sufficient space to hang our clothes and then the balcony, not the largest but certainly a real bonus as we looked out over San Juan and sipped a drink and was well used this trip.
Our cabin steward was very good and did his work well and unobtrusively.
I was initially concerned that the cabin being close to a lift area would be noisy however I was proved wrong and it wasn't at all on our cruise.
