Give us one good reason to try another cruise line?!

Additional details
We are avid cruisers in our early/mid fifties having completed 25 plus cruises on various lines including Cunard, Holland America, Princess, P&O, Royal Viking Line. Celebrity is our "go to" premium cruise line as we are continually impressed as they seem to keep "upping" their game in regards to quality of service, food and their beautiful fleet of ships. In other words, great value for the money!
We flew in one day before and stayed at the Inter Continental hotel fronting the Bay of Biscayne with a lovely view overlooking the cruise port. A lovely hotel close to downtown and the Bay side market/Marina and only a ten minute taxi ride to the port.
Arrived at the cruise terminal at 10:30am with a 30 minute wait, fortunately we were able to sit in a area as most people had to stand and wait in line. I felt sorry for some elderly people, this problem must be addressed in this cruise terminal. Not enough sitting area unless you are an Elite/ Aqua class or Suite guest. We were on board by 11am and greeted with some refreshments. Having been on other Solstice class ships we are able to navigate quite easily and we always go right to the Sunset bar aft ship on decks 14 and 15.
Cabin Review
Two hundred square feet with an oversized pie shape balcony nine feet by eiht feet by six feet. With this much space you really require more furniture and especially a foot rest when you are reclining in your chair. For a new ship the teak railing on the outside the finish had been worn off right along the whole ship. This cabin was central on the hump close to the elevator banks but very quiet. Great location. Room requires more drawers lower down built into the end of the bed, the upper shelves over the bed are very difficult to access.
