We chose this cruise because it was an area we had never been to before and we were quite happy with the Celebrity line as we have cruised with them twice before. The June itinerary was perfect for us, just getting into the hot season in many ports and still not too many young kids who were still in school.
So far every cruise I have been on with Celebrity has amazed me about their customer service. Their crews are top notch and without criticism. Most crew seemed happy and always had a smile and greeting for you. They could not do enough!
Ikadek was our cabin steward. I swear these stewards hide around the corner to lean up you rooms as soon as you step out. He was wonderful. Even left us a nice surprise for a celebration evening.
Lots of space and cupboards to store away belongings.
Poor location above smoking deck located on Deck Five directly below you. Ship crew need to move the people back aft where their smoking area is located, not along the railings.
Could hear the "love activities" from somewhere around us - maybe above??
Close to elevator which you could occasionally hear the arrival "ding' but not bothersome as it was convenient to access elevators. Close to Desk Five where Cafe Al Bacio is located and we needed out regular coffee fixes there.
Could easily access any deck upwards or down for activities, meals or gangways.
Had taken some time in Venice and Rome prior to taking a private transfer to the ship for boarding. Same on last day to airport.
