This trip was over a year in planning and it was the first time we were on a Celebrity Cruise. We are in our mid 50's and were traveling with another couple. Embarkation was very easy and smooth as we were in a Sky Suite (2125), however there were no lines at all for any room type when we boarded. We went to the Ocean View Cafe for lunch and were able to find a seat. Shortly after they announced that the rooms were ready. Our Suite was very nice and spacious with a lot of storage. Most importantly, there was a bathtub!! Our only room complaint was that our room was under the buffet and was very noisy especially late at night when we were trying to sleep. You could hear a lot of banging and carts rolling across the floor.

After getting settled, our "Butler" Ryan appeared to introduce himself. It was a good thing because after that we barely saw him. The only time he was around was when he was delivering afternoon snacks which we rarely wanted. Our room attendant, Luz and her Assistant, Mulyo were great!! The room was always clean and if Luz saw us coming down the hall, she called us by name and opened the door. She needs a promotion!

The first morning we went to the dining room for breakfast but it was very unorganized and slow. After we ordered we waited at least 30 minutes and then they came to say they didn't have the right cheese for the omelet (which was one of the items on the menu that day). We almost had to leave without eating because of our excursion. So after that we just went to the buffet everyday. The buffet was good once you could snag a seat. That part was an adventure each day!
