We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Not because it was Celebrity. We had cruised on Celebrity one other time but only for 3 days and thought we would try again because it was leaving out of Southhampton and we wanted to explore London before leaving. London was great but I want to go back to do things we didn't have time to do in 2 1/2 days.
Embarkation was fantastic. No problems at all. Disembarkation was also very good. It would have been more helpful to have signs directing everyone where to disembark since this was different than shore excursion days.
The cabin was a typical balcony cabin. Our stateroom attendant, very professional. Always a smile and asking if there was anything he could do for us. Unfortunately, that good service was lacking in other areas.
The cabin was good. We were able to have the cabin steward take down the partition on the balcony so we could both balconies with our friends. Jose was extremely helpful and courteous.
We didn't take any excursions. However we did go to London 3 days before the cruise. We want to go back to London. Three days isn't enough time to do everything.
No excursion. It is a beautiful city. We just shopped.
