We cruised the 1/17/12 sailing out of Bayonne and traveled with another couple. All of us have cruised many times but this was just our 2ND Celebrity trip. We loved not having to fly and enjoyed the stress free packing and worrying about the weight of our suitcases, going thru security,etc.

Up until now, RCL was our favorite cruise line. We were just so impressed with the quality of service on Celebrity that it has become our cruise line of choice.

EMBARKATION: We drove up from Delaware the day before and stayed at the Country Inn and Suites. Great deal for $138 total which included parking our car for 12 days in a gated area. We drove to the pier thru Independent Driver with other CC members. This was organized by one CC member (thanks Bob!) and it worked out well. It was $10 each way pp plus we gave a tip. We arrived at the pier at about 10:30. Check in was a breeze! We were then led to the lounge for CC, AQ and above. They served danishes, coffee and tea. It was such a nice place to wait before getting on board. Read more
