This cruise was to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We like Celebrity and had been on Infinity for a prior cruise (Hawaii).
We flew to Ft. Lauderdale the day before and spent the night at Hyatt Place.We took the hotel shuttle ($7 each) to the port at 10:00am. No long lines, easy process. We're Captain Club Select, we had a specific waiting area for priority boarding. By 11:00am we were on the ship.
We were in regular veranda cabin 7078. Our room steward gave us a bottle of chilled champagne for our anniversary.
Plenty of room for everything. The location, forward/starboard was perfect. It is in front of the lifeboats so no obstructive view down.
We didn't do an excursion here, just took a free shuttle to the port shopping area.
