Background: We are in our early 30s and this was our first Celebrity cruise. Past cruises were with Royal Caribbean twice and once with Princess. We have enjoyed all of our previous cruises and find that each cruise line has its perks. The main reason we booked this cruise was for their restrictive smoking policy.

Stateroom: We booked an aqua class cabin. Overall, we liked the layout of the cabin. We thought the bathroom had ample storage, with the exception of the shower which needed more area for your shampoo, soap, razor, etc. We liked having storage above the bed as well as a place to store your luggage under the bed. The pillows and mattress were extremely comfortable-probably the most comfortable bed of any previous cruise ships. We really enjoyed the adjustable chairs, ottomans and table provided on our balcony. We only noticed smoke(we were on the starboard side) a few times from people that were smoking on deck 5 (even though they were supposed to be on the port side as noted on their communication). This was only a minor issue twice.

Ship: The ship was very clean and in great condition. The layout of the ship was great and we liked how open everything was(casino, library, card room, etc). We really enjoyed the lawn area. Read more
