We booked this cruise for the fabulous itinerary which did not disappoint, although the tendering process did. We must have been luckier than other posters because we did not have lengthy waits, even in Edinburgh, but have never experienced such long lines, even the Elite line, on any other Celebrity cruise.

We changed our cabin from a forward OV a veranda GTY over Memorial Day weekend and got the "Best" package, but assigned the dreaded 2D obstructed view category, #6202. Actually our cabin had views to the water through the davits holding the lifeboats and, the reality of the port-intensive itinerary and the cool, damp weather, didn't really allow for lounging on the balcony. The best part of getting 6202 were Katy & Pred, the best cabin attendants we've ever had!! Katy was such a help in getting us extra laundry coupons to frequently wash our very few clothes, since our bags were lost by airberlin for the week prior to our cruise and not returned to us til we arrived at AMS to fly home! And the location midships made for an easy trip to Cafe al Bacio for that morning joe.

The roll call for this cruise made the sailing particularly special. All our tours were private organized by myself or other "Silhouetters". We enjoyed them all. It was fun to share tours, happy hour, or dine together with so many neat people. Read more
