Cabin: Concierge Class 1

A short line up outside the terminal, but it was moving quite quickly. Once inside they had checked your reservation and you were scooted up the escalator to the security. Again this process was quick and no lines. Once you were cleared with security, you were sent to the line ups to get your card. This was divided into sections for SUITES, ELITE MEMBERS, Deck Levels, etc. We were Concierge Class and had to look for our line up (it was hid behind all the people lining up for Decks 8,9,10,11). Once we found it, there was no one in the line up and were up getting our card and signing our final credit details and then ushered up another escalator where you were boarding the ship. They have camera crews set up here if you want your picture taken and then off you go to board the ship. This entire process from on street line ups to getting on board took a total of 30 -45 mins.

This cruise has 8 stops and all but 2 of them have port side disembarkation. So if your room is on the left side of the ship, you will be happy. Some terrific views both arriving and leaving.

You are asked to take your Celebrity card and one piece of ID which disembarking in ports. We opted to take our DL rather than passports and were glad as we were never asked to produce them, but was good to have. I suspect if you lost your Celebrity ID card, then you had back ID with you, however I wouldn't risk carrying your passport off ship.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class 1

Cabin C1

Perfect location on the rear of the ship. We were on level 10 and had 2 levels above us which helped to obscure any noise from the Oceanview Cafe or outside deck beside the cafe. The room to our left and right had slightly smaller balconies. Room 1208 had the largest balcony but this was perfect. Plenty of storage in the bathroom for toiletries. The shampoo, conditioner, body gel, bar soap and body lotion was replendished as needed and you would not need to bring any along. We had it set up King Bed and had plenty of room. Closet held all of clothes and lots of hangars were supplied. There are 2 large cupboards overhead of the bed which was plenty for shorts, skirts, tshirts and tops. There is cupboard storage with approx 6 drawers in the cupboard below TV and next to fridge which was more than adequate for swim wear, undies and the like. No need to ring hair dryer as it is supplied.
