The Cruise started very well when, arriving at London Gatwick at 04:30 to catch a 06:40 flight, we were welcomed at the BA check-in by a Celebrity rep who directed us to the right desk. The ticketing was very quick and we were in the lounge in 15 minutes. Good flight to Barcelona, met at the airport and coach to the ship all pretty seamless. On board by 11:45 and in the cabin when they opened at 1pm you cant ask for more.

This is the second time we have been on this ship this year. Our balcony stateroom was on deck 8, by the front stair/lift core, and it gave us our preferred layout of the couch nearest the window. We like this class of ship, it has a more contemporary feel to its interior design and the public areas are very spacious. We particularly like the Sky Lounge in the early evening.

We always do Select Dining, and make sure we book in advance although, in fairness the queues were not that bad. However it would be good if Celebrity could make booking select dining times on its website a bit easier we normally have to ring up head office! We prefer a table for two, ideally by the balcony edge overlooking the main dining area below, and managed to secure it most evenings through the hostesses at the front desk. The waiters were efficient and the sommelier friendly the food in the dining room was fine, better on some days than others, but no problem in finding something acceptable.
