This was our first cruise on Celebrity and I will say now it won't be our last. However there were a few "in between" moments. Lets begin at embarkation. We went to the port a bit early like we usually do only to find out that embarkation had been delayed d/t cleaning necessitated by a noro virus outbreak on the previous cruise. Oh well what can you do. Better to do this and try to be as sure as possible that the next cruise will not be so afflicted.

When we finally go a chance to embark there is one thing we noticed right off. Never have we felt so welcomed on any other of our previous 8 cruises. The professionalism was really apparent and it stayed this way throughout our 12 night cruise.

Overall this was a great cruise as the ports, esp. the 4 days in Israel were amazing. This is where history was made and I just can't say enough about how luck we were to have been to so many places of such importance. Read more
