This trip was about three years in the planning. There were 14 family members celebrating our 50th anniversary. We chose a Celebrity Suite so that we would have a larger space for family gathering and were very happy with this cabin. There is a separate bedroom, walk-in closet/dressing room with dresser; large bathroom with a combination tub and shower; plenty of storage space; desk; two TVs; large veranda; and plenty of seating. There was a slight vibration from time to time, as I have seen other reviewers note. It really was not a problem. Each family group had their own cabin.

Our grandchildren were 8-14 years old, and they all loved the ship and youth activities. They were able to be very independent. Their parents liked it as well.

Embarkation was very easy. We were able to enjoy lunch away from the noisy Oceanview Cafe that is so crazy for the first day lunch. We shortly met our stateroom attendant who was perfect. We also had a butler, Peter. We thought he was a bit full of himself, and we really never made any special requests from him, even though that is part of his function, I guess. He delivered canapés each afternoon. They were not our favorite. Perhaps we should have requested fruit or something else instead? Read more
