Well, to begin with my wife and I bi-annual cruisers. We live in Phoenix, AZ and seem to leave during our best weather - kind of ironic? Our cruise destination of choice is the Caribbean in April and November. That is due to 2 reasons: weather and pricing. So why do my wife and I choose Celebrity? #1. Generally there are very few children at best, and if there is, they seem to go unnoticed. #2. Celebrity seem to run a very professional operation that offer near luxury at a bargain price. #3. Fellow cruisers on Celebrity seem to be more of our type of country club professional crowd with people from the 30's to 70's.
So why should you choose Celebrity? If you see eye to eye with my previous points, I think you will enjoy Celebrity. Remember, you get what you pay for! However, Celebrity is very inexpensive. This is not a ship for families with young children (thank god). However, if your children are young adults they will do just fine.
The rooms are small compared to the usual hotel room. However, if you compare them to other cruise ships they are a bit larger and better appointed. My wife can see the motion of the sea, so we always get an interior cabin. If you spend time in your cabin to sleep and shower, the interior cabin should be fine. If you like spending time in you cabin relaxing, eating, and sitting on a balcony. Get the verandah room.
