Second cruise and first time with Celebrity.
Boarded easily - despite being on a fly cruise package with several coaches arriving at the cruise terminal at once. Being AQ gave us a bit of a head-start in boarding but all classes seemed to make a smooth journey onto the ship.
We went straight to the buffet - as do most cruisers - and were delighted with the choice and quality of food and the availability of tables. Comparing with P&O Azura, the Celebrity buffet dining throughout was a much more comfortable experience.
We were in 1577 which is below the walkway around the pool deck. The overhang meant no direct sunlight but it didn't bother us despite us being vehement sun worshipers. We had a little noise from overhead in the evenings but virtually nothing at night (it was October and people may use the decks more in the height of summer).
This is a cabin where the bed is against the balcony (under the noisiest place) but it didn't cause a problem.
