Did Eastern Carribean out of Ft lauderdale. Let me just say that I have been on a few cruises and this is my first Celebrity Cruise. I am going to focus on the cruise ship not the ports....since that is the same whatever boat you go on.
You will notice the crowd is a bit older on these line, not exactly a fun atmosphere....more of a relax atmosphere. I will say without a doubt, this was the nicest dressed crowd that I have ever experienced. No wife beater t-shirts in the dining room like you see on Carnival. The common areas are all very nice and the staterooms are the some of the most well appointed that I have had.
Embarkation was very good. We arrived at around noon, but were on the ship within 20 minutes. I believe they start letting people get on the boat right at 11. The main ocean- cafe buffet was a mad house when you first get on the boat. Be prepared.
