We are retired, with about 20 cruises, 4 on Celebrity. I wasn't going to write a review until I saw the other one from this cruise.
We live only a half hour from the port and left our car at ParkNGo. We had received text, voice mail and email messages that boarding would not begin until 12:30 because of a Coast Guard inspection. Also, all of the crew had to go through immigration. We arrived about 1:15 and boarded very quickly. We were the only ones in the Elite line. We went to Bistro on 5, but had to wait a half hour since they were not ready to open. The food was excellent.
Our cabin was 8230, one of the large balconies. It was in an ideal location, just steps from the main elevators. There was no noise from the hall, the elevators or the lobby.
