Background & pre cruise:
We’re 60 year old Australians with 13 previous cruises on different ships (and many different cruise lines) with which to compare. This was our first cruise with Celebrity.
Our overseas holiday included 3 cruises. After this cruise we would do the B2B Transatlantic to England followed 3 weeks later by a RCI cruise to Norway.
Our inside cabin was one of the largest cabins we have had with ample room around the double bed and good use of mirrors to make the cabin seem larger. Unfortunately it was probably the hardest bed with the thinnest pillows we have ever had. The suitcases fitted under the bed.A night light in the ensuite was handy for middle of the night visits; but, having all the cabin ceiling lights on one switch made night time difficult when one partner retires before the other. The space between the wardrobes and the ensuite could have been wider as the wardrobe doors could not be open when using the ensuite – we prefer the open style walk-in type robe. We had no problem getting the contents removed from the small fridge supplied but it didn't really keep anything cold. Our cabin steward was friendly and seemed efficient at his job. Unfortunately he was hard to locate as most of the other rooms he did were in another section of the ship.Interestingly on our following B2B cruise we relocated to a balcony cabin. Here the bed was softer, the fridge performed better and the cabin steward was always available! Taking this further, we noticed Celebrity have 2 classes where passengers in suites can eat in their exclusive restaurant and even have reserved seating in the theater on certain nights.
