We are experienced cruisers, and have sailed on Celebrity more than twenty times. We enjoyed this cruise as we do all Celebrity cruises, but it was not up to their usual standards.
Embarkation - This was smooth and uneventful, with my only (minor) issue being that the gang planks were quite steep in spots, much more so than I am used to.
Cabin - We had a standard outside balcony cabin. The room itself was fine, with the exception of the fold-out sofa which was hard as a box of rocks. There was a pull-out bunk overhead, but as no one in our party is small in stature, it was not really a viable option. The room was in good shape - no noticeable issues with fabric, carpet, condition of bathroom, etc..
