We love to cruise and try to get out to sea as often as is possible and affordable. This was our 4th Celebrity cruise and about the 16th Caribbean cruise.
After our flight from Manchester, NH we arrived at Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood and waited quite a long time (about 90 minutes) for our shuttle to the hotel. After 3 calls he finally arrived. Tt wasn't a great way to start off but bright and early the next day we were ready to go. We waited in the hot sun another 2 hours before our van arrived. The hotel was almost 100% occupied by cruisers and not well prepared. It was the Comfort Inn Airport/Cruise Port at Stirling Rd. in Hollywood. That's the end of my complaints!
The embarcation process was very slow because the ship had just made a Trans-Atlantic repositioning and had to be throughly inspected. We were made as comfortable as possible and the delay was explained and understandable.
We were in cabin 6110 which is designated a partially obstructed view. We could look down on some lifeboats which didn't bother us at all. It was centrally located and very clean and quiet. No wind or noise to speak of.
