This was our first cruise and booked last minute direct with Celebrity UK. We booked a guarantee stateroom with veranda and opted for select dining. We selected the drinks package as part of the 123 promotion and chose to pay the extra to upgrade to the premium drinks package which turned out to be money well spent.
We flew to Fort Lauderdale as flights to there from our home town were cheaper and spent 3 nights by the beach before driving to Miami for our cruise.
Embarkation was quick and within 30 minutes of arriving at the port we were enjoying lunch in the Oceanview cafe.
Quiet location. Partially obstructed but didn't spoil view of Ocean. Sun most of day on way out shade on way back.
