Great Christmas Cruise

This is our second Celebrity cruise but we have sailed about 20 times overall. And we now truly love Celebrity. The only similar level of Guest Service is when we have sailed with Disney. We had two of our sones get married this fall and needed to "Skip Christmas" this year. We were unexpectedly upgraded to a suite and LOVED it!....maybe too much.

We live outside of Orlando and drove down to Miami Friday night. We stayed at ALoft, which was close to the Brickell area and perfect location to the port. We parked and were on the ship at 11:05, Awesome! We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Luminae and met a fun group from North Dakota that we ended up hanging with the rest of the cruise. The ship is definitely ready for its Revolution renovation but it was very clean and laid out great for guests to get around the ship.

A few Highlights:

-Luminae was a great place to eat! But we heard from other guests that Trellis was very good and we did enjoy the buffet and Spa Cafe throughout the cruise. Charles at Luminae had a great smile and was always attentive and very friendly.

-Michaels Club was a cool chill place to relax for Suite guests. Jeffrey was awesome with any need we had and Gem always had a smile and went out of her way to meet our needs.

-We enjoyed the Solarium and the Art Auction. Won money at Deal or No Deal but it was a weird experience....give us BINGO!

-Theater entertainment was excellent. Two fun big shows and Great, the violinist, from Iceland. The only odd one was the Holiday show..a bit long and odd.

-Enjoyed the underground river in Mexico, although the excursion travel could have been 2 hours shorter. Always enjoy Key West but just chilled on the island.

-Debarkation was very smooth after breakfast and we were on the road just after 8am.

-Already looking forward to our next Celebrity cruise!!

We enjoyed the size of our cabin. We got an upgrade to Suite class and enjoyed the location and the attention of our attendant, Jeorge, and our butler, Andi. We did have an issue with moisture in the closet but it was taken care of right away by Andi. My wife enjoyed the full size tub in the bathroom. Verandah was lovely and we did enjoy the time we spent in our cabin.
