Sail Date: Dec 2012

This was our very first cruise with Celebrity. We have always sailed with Norwegian and have been loyal customers until now. Celebrity caught our attention, since they drastically limit smoking aboard ship (we hate it when people smoke around us!), we'd heard great things about the cuisine, and we'd heard they catered more towards "adult-cruising". We were drawn to this particular cruise because of the many stops and since the itinerary featured so many places we'd never been.

Embarkation was so easy. Literally, we walked through security, straight to the Aqua Class desk, and there were NO LINES! Never has an embarkation been as fast and simple. I was very impressed. Staff greeted you with trays of Mimosas and juices as soon as you set foot on board. Sweet!

We boarded around 1pm, and our staterooms weren't ready yet, so we were invited to go up to the OceanView Cafe for lunch which we did. My husband and I were really surprised with the large seating capacity and easy access to the food at the buffet. We've never liked cruise ship buffets on NCL, since they're usually over-crowded and insanely busy. OceanView staff certainly handles the crowds well and instead of just grabbing at things and helping yourself, they serve everything for you, make salads for you, etc. Very nice touch at a buffet. Also, I have to mention the ice-cream. Celebrity makes home-made ice-cream every day. It's to DIE FOR! It tastes just like my Dad's home-made ice-cream, and they always have Vanilla, Chocolate, & Strawberry, but then rotate other flavors into the mix on a daily basis. I went to the OceanView Buffet daily for my ice-cream fix. Fantastic stuff! Around the time we finished eating, an announcement was made that staterooms were ready, so we headed off to find ours.

Cabin Review

Cabin CC

Small but very nice. A little tight, moving from one end of the bed to another, since it's arranged very close to a mirrored wall. Beds were a bit hard, which my husband didn't like. I found them quite comfy. Shower head was especially nice, as we were in Aqua Class. Loved the different setting and the jets were fun! Bath products were also very nice.
