I just want to start off by stating that we had an absolutely fabulous cruise. This was our second cruise on Celebrity, the first being the Millennium to Alaska. We love the M class ships. We are 63 and 62 respectively and really just wanted a vacation free from all the obligations of life. The fact that we had an aft corner cabin, stateroom 8166, did influence this perspective enormously and that needs to be acknowledged up front. It was an incredible score that will probably not come this way again. Just great luck and perseverance, I guess. I refreshed Celebrity's website every day and that cabin showed up right after final payment was due.

The reason the cabin was so great, of course, was the 300 sq. ft. veranda. When the ship's commotion and intensity ... lots of people sunning and eating and sitting and enjoying themselves ... we retreated to our private veranda with the four lounge chairs and table and four dining chairs and just chilled. That was marvelous. Life got lived at the speed of a boat, albeit a big boat. It was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had.

When we got on the ship,which took no time, btw, we checked out our dining second seating table and discovered we didn't like it much. I bring this up because it really is important to make your needs and wants known. I told the maitre d' I was disappointed with its location. The maitre d', very nice to us, then moved us from the table for two, which we requested, right on the pathway from the kitchen to all the tables of the dining room, to a table for six with only two set ups ... us. The first evening we ate there but, unfortunately, really didn't like sitting at a table for six with just us. It felt lonely for one and we couldn't really look at each other ... like you might on a four top sitting across from one another ... and we were facing out at the dining room rather than facing in at each other. So once more I expressed this to the maitre d'. He was so nice. The next day we found a card in our room giving us a window table for two. Magnificent! Perfect table. My point is that everyone on this ship tries to please. It made all the difference for us in our dining experience.
