A Med cruise was on my bucket list for a number of years and we finally made it!
This was our 3rd Celebrity cruise but first on an S class ship. I was very impressed with the design features of the S class vs those on Infinity and Summit and also other lines. A beautiful ship and well maintained.
We arrived in Barcelona a day early to help with jet lag and spent the night at Hotel Curious which is a one star hotel just steps from Las Ramblas and La Boquiera market. Small room but with a nice view of a fairly quiet street. competitively priced and comfortable, kind of quirky in nature.
We had an obstructed view cabin with a lifeboat at about balcony railing level. This did not create a large problem for us and we thoroughly enjoyed out balcony on this cruise. Cabin is well designed with adequate storage even for 12 days aboard. Heard very little noise from the corridor. Very comfortable cabin and interactive TV is very handy to check accounts etc. Would book this cabin again.
