This cruise was a getaway from the cold winter in the UK.
We flew overnight from Manchester to Abu Dhabi and were met by Celebrity reps and were taken to the Al Raha Beach Hotel for breakfast. This was very good as we knew from past experience there were NO facilities at the pier.
The ship had been cleaned and painted from top to toe for the President who was lacking in visibility.
Cabin was starboard and located midships. Very Clean and comfortable. Towels could be thicker and fluffier and pillows should by now be full size and replenished regularly (they arent).
air conditioning worked very well and was welcome in India.
This was a transit port for us
we did the ships tour which was very good, we also stopped to watch the locals landing thier fish catch. that was the highlight of the day.
