Boarding  On arrival at the cruise port, our van driver took our bags out and stayed by while riders decided which bags to entrust to the porters. We were directed to the rear of a line that wound about like a ride at Disney World only it moved much faster. In-processing was quick and painless. Once aboard we were directed to the Cafeteria on deck 14, where food was plentiful but seating was not. Understandable, considering we were toward the end of the boarding window and just before the cabins were available.

Our cabin was on deck 6. These veranda cabins have “partially obstructed” views in that the floor is about even with the top of the lifeboats. The davits stuck up a couple feet more but the view was only minimally “obstructed”. There is an atrium a bit aft of center that extends from deck 3 to deck 14 and is bordered by elevators on either side. A small band was stationed at the base of the atrium and their music easily filled the open area to the top deck. If noise bothers you, avoid the staterooms near these elevators.

Passengers. The average age was probably late sixties; there were lots of wheel chairs and scooters. Celebrity seems to appeal to an older clientele; even more so for a transatlantic. There is a wealth of travel knowledge among this set we got many useful tips about traveling in Europe.

Cabin Review

This was a cabin with the potential for four bunks. One lowered from the ceiling and the other pulled out from under the sofa. That lower one probably cost us drawer space, as many cruise ships put drawers under the sofa or love seat.
