This would be our twelfth cruise together - Celebrity, RCL and Carnival. We are in our mid 50's. This had to be our worst cruise ever. We are very easy going but what they did to us was beyond belief. I just don't want to cruise with Celebrity anymore.

I have developed painful knees, and walk with a cane. We were fortunate enough to pick a room on the 9th floor that was two steps from the elevator, and because there wasn't three sets of elevators on this class of ship - normally forward, aft and midship, we felt we were very fortunate. The room we selected was room 9231.

When we checked in, they had 'upgraded' us - to Concierge class, on the 12th floor, two blocks from the elevator, almost to aft, to room 1242. We had a bottle of chilled champagne in our room when we arrived - we don't drink. We gave the bottle to the room steward. The walking to and from our room did me in and I came home with both extreme knee and foot pain. It was too much for me and I don't feel I would have suffered as much in the original room we picked. Also, we were directly below the Oceanview cafe and bar and all night long they cleaned or did something because we could hear carts being moved and containers being dropped and it was very noisy. We usually sleep like babies when we cruise but not this time. DO NOT book a room on this floor near the aft if you need quiet at night - you will not get it.
