We watched with interest as cruises started happening again and in May of 2021, we decided to plan our return to sailing and booked this cruise. There was a Power Up Point promotion going on at the time and we would get double points for this cruise! Because of the fluctuations in cruising and ports these days, we decided to look at this vacation as mainly a chance to be onboard again. We made plans for port days, but knew we may have to scrap or change them. My advice for anyone cruising now is to be flexible! I so appreciate the CC members who have been posting reviews because that really prepared me to be ready for any changes.we are so glad we took this particular cruise. It was very special to be on a ship with only 900 passengers. Almost every day we would receive a gift. We left with 2 bottles of wine, 2 nice beach bags, 2 lanyards, a card holder and a nice framed photograph of the ship. The entire crew was very happy to be working again. We heard about their families and their home countries during CoVid. When we would start to say how hard it was to have cruises cancelled, we had to stop ourselves because these wonderful people were out of work for close to 2 years! We are so thankful that Celebrity found a way to return to cruising in a safe, healthy way so the employees can come back to work and selfishly, so we can enjoy cruising again.
Our Concierge cabin was 1132 on the hump. Our bed was near the balcony and we had a slanted balcony so it was deeper than most. Everything worked perfectly. With the storage compartments above the bed, we had room for all of our items.Our cabin was close to the elevators which was very nice.
