My husband and I are 28 years old and took this cruise for a relaxing getaway. We have both cruised before, but this was our first cruise being just the 2 of us. I've been on one other Celebrity cruse and one Royal Caribbean, but this was my husbands first Celebrity cruise, after previously cruising Holland America and Royal Caribbean. We chose Celebrity because of its reputation for being the best of the best. Overall, the trip was great and relaxation was at a maximum!
The ship:
The ship is very nice and fairly modern. I have read other reviews where people are extremely picky about such minor details, such as soft spots in the carpet of the dining room...big whoop. The ship was clean and easy to navigate. The ship sailed from San Juan, so we flew in the day before the cruise and spent the night at a not-so-great hotel. The day the ship sailed, we were on the ship by 12:30. Embarkation was a breeze and took 5 minutes, at the most. We got to eat lunch at the buffet and have some drinks before the ship got too crowded. Just after 1:00, they announced that our cabins were ready and we were able to get into our room. Our luggage arrived shortly after. Our cabin had plenty of space to unpack our belongings and our luggage fit nicely under the bed...out of sight, out of mind. We had a balcony room, which was great. The balcony had 2 chairs and a small table, but it was so nice to have space to sit outside and enjoy some peace and quiet.
