Part I - Precruise A. Inception We are avid Caribbean cruisers. Two years ago, we spent Christmas and New Year's in the Caribbean on the Celebrity Mercury (which, sadly, sailed for the last time under that name in February 2011); last year, we spent Christmas in the Caribbean on Celebrity's Millennium; and this year, we wanted to do it again.
We looked at all cruise lines, and wanted another 14-day cruise, but the way that Christmas and New Year's are on the calendar this year, a 14-day cruise would've taken our son out of too much school, so we booked a 7-day cruise. We settled again on either Royal Caribbean or Celebrity (the only lines we have cruised on) because of their itineraries and schedules.
We prefer to drive to the East Coast for our cruises, but that wasn't an option this year.
7347 was a great cabin. We really could not hear anything that our neighbors were doing. Also, it was in the aft area of the ship, so there were no walk-throughs (the only people passing our cabin were those with cabins further aft). The location was great -- near the stairs and the library (helped us to remember where our cabin was).
