Additional details
About us: We are in our 50's and both retired. This was our 10th Cruise and our first Celebrity Cruise.
Arriving: We flew in from Atlanta, GA and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express that was about ½ mile away from the port. We considered walking over to our ship, but were told that our ship could be up to 2 miles away from the port entrance so we went with Holiday Inns bus service. I think it was $10 each, but I do know within 5 minutes of purchasing the tickets someone convinced me that we should have took a cab telling us "It would cost about ½ of what your paid". So it goes.
We arrived at the port about 11:15 am and the boarding process took 45 minutes. Was the slowest check we encountered in our cruise history, no problem since we had 14 days onboard?
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 1A
Great balcony real close to the elevators. Did not have any noise problems.
the balcony dimensions are est. to be 8.75 ft. wide at the door and 10.5 wide
at the balcony railing. The left side (facing the ocean) was about 12.25 ft. long and the right side about 10 ft. long. this is not warranted to be 100% accurate
and your measurements may vary ... Spent some time out there every night.
