Just returned from a 14 night cruise from Dover to St. Petersburg; and back; very satisfied. This was my fourth cruise; third cruise on Celebrity; and minus a few minor points; something I would recommend to one and all.
EMBARKATION: One word; smooth. We booked the cruise and the pre-package; including transfers through Celebrity. The hotel stay was at the City Inn at Westminister. Great location; easy walking to the Underground. Would suggest purchasing the London Pass; for access to a day or two pass to most places of interest and Underground pass for unlimited travel in the City.
The transfer to/from airport went without any problem; and the day of the cruise was relaxing and stress-free. We arrived at the dock; walked to the checkin; which mind you no line for the concierge class; and very small wait for regular check-in; at 1 P.M.
