We boarded the ship in lovely Barcelona on 27th August. Check in was speedy enough process but delayed because our xpress passes had been unavailable, despite us having fully completed our online checking in with full details, including credit card information for sea pass accounts onboard. This is my second Celebrity cruise within a few months & same thing happened previously as well. Makes me wonder what is the point of going through it all online - only to have to repeat most of the process again at check in?! Also, what is the problem with Celebrity sending out the luggage tags requested pre cruise? Again for the second time in a few months, no luggage tags were ever received. You can get them at the port of course but it makes a bit of a nonsense out of the whole thing when they promise to send them-& then don't bother to!

The ship itself is lovely and is extremely well maintained. Spotlessly clean throughout & a credit to the teams of hard working staff onboard.

We were in a balcony cabin on deck 8 which was perfect for us as only other staterooms above & below us, so less noisy. Read more
