This was our first time sailing with Celebrity. Previous sailings with P&O, Princess and MSC.
We arrived at Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal around 1145am and joined a short line to drop off our bags then joining the line for check-in which was very effortless and straight forward. The total time from when we first arrived until we were handed our welcome champagne upon boarding would have been no more than 40 minutes.
First impression upon boarding was WOW. The staff were all smiles and you could not help but feel more than welcome. The ship seemed so fresh and had this hard to describe, but pleasant smell.
Decent sized room with ample bathroom space. Modern flatscreen interactive tv. Lovely balcony with super impressive views. Balcony furniture could do with updating and conditioning in room cannot be controlled so the room was rather hot. Long walk to elevators of around 125m but great to burn off all the calories consumed.
