This was the first cruise that by the end of it, I was not ready to come back home! My third Celebrity cruise (but fifth cruise total), I had brought along a group of 16 others with me (I organize group tours for my church). For half the group, this was their first cruise ever and they can't wait to do it again. We all had a blast! From food to entertainment, we were very pleased with our trip and can't wait to book another one with Celebrity. We did have one bad service experience (more on that later), but overall we would all give this voyage and ship a "perfect 10".

Embarkation: As others have pointed out, it was long and frustrating, but I blame that on everyone wanting to get on "early or first". But once onboard, everything was ready, including my first ever "verandah cabin". Cabin (#7090) was lovely and in great condition, verandah inviting, but the bathroom looked particularly worn. But it was always clean and well-stocked, and very roomy to move about in.

Disembarkation: Was amazing! Well-organized and fast, I have never experienced such an easy disembarkation. No crowds or long lines, everything moved steadily along until we were out the door. Then we had a LONG wait for our "Cruise Connection" bus (we all live in Florida) to take us home, but their representative kept us well-informed of the bus's progress to us, so we at least felt reassured that it would eventually come for us.
