Flying to the west coast from the east is always a challenge for me. Once in San Diego all was fine. Check-in is a breeze.
Our cabin (in the belly of the ship - deck 4) was quiet and peaceful. We discovered that many of the storage nooks and crannies went unused during the trip. We could have brought two more suitcases!! Our cabin steward was accommodating and friendly. Everyone talks about the bathroom sinks on this ship. It looks like a pasta bowl. The faucet water does seem to leap out of the bowl at unexpected moments. I only mention this so you won't be surprised when it happens.
Dining: MDR was fantastic! Escargot is back and I ate plenty! We chose "select" dining and were able to get the same waiter every night. He was a hoot and was very popular with all the guests. Just ask for "Jimmy's section". The sommelier was a very sweet little French girl we had met on a previous Celebrity ship. It is amazing when we run into people we've met on other ships. The Murano specialty restaurant is well worth the money. Just think of it as a dining "excursion". The lido buffet is what it is. I like the fact that they still use trays in the serving areas. This way one doesn't have to make multiple trips back to the table while getting drinks, soup, salads,sides, desserts., etc.
Even though we were on the 4th deck, mid-aft, the location was extremely quiet. Plenty of nooks and crannies for storage. The only complaint is that the hallways and even the cabin had a musty, mildew smell that did not go away.
