First of all I have no vested interest with the cruise industry nor have any interest in promoting or cheerleading any cruise line. We were Elite Plus with Celebrity, but that was in the past.

Our comments are for those experienced cruisers who are wondering if the new Celebrity is for them.

We booked an E3 IV cabin but 15 hours before arrival at the port we were upgraded to an AQ IV cabin. This lead to initial slip up - baggage delivery Since we had no updated luggage tags, I made up my own and attached them to the luggage.

Five hours later after escalating it from the room attendant up to customer service to Captains Club, they had no ide where th bag was. so I started cruising the hallways and found my bag in 10 min in fron of our original room.
