This was our third cruise, our third on Celebrity and our third on Celebrity's M Class having previously sailed on the Connie and the Summit. We've now covered quite a bit of the Caribbean. It was our first time in Concierge class. It was also our first cruise doing early walk-off.

We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale the evening before and stayed at the Embassy Suites. It was wonderful to wake up the morning of our cruise, look out the window and see that our ship had come in!

We arrived at the pier by 11:30 and by 12:15 we were on board. We did the Concierge Welcome Aboard lunch in the main dining room. If you're curious about it, it was a very typical main dining room meal, although with quite limited options. For an entree you had exactly two choices: salmon or lamb. I had the lamb, it was okay, but nothing special. It was also quite time consuming as service was at a dinner pace. When we emerged a couple hours later, we saw that not only the buffet was open, but also the pool grill and Aqua Spa, all three of which would have been better lunch options as far as we were concerned.
