We are couple in their late 40s from London in the UK who have been on 24 cruises but never cruised with Celebrity. We do like new ships though and this would be our third maiden cruise in 2 years. We decided to book a standard E2 Infinite Veranda on deck 8 aft directly through Celebrity UK. The booking included the Classic Drinks package and $300 on-board credit. We phoned Celebrity to upgrade to their Premium Drinks package (after looking at sample drink menus) and pre-booked online a range of dining reservations, the internet package for 2 devices and an excursion.

Embarkation

We parked in the Midport parking garage just across from Terminal 25 in Port Everglades. We then wheeled our luggage across the crossing, over another road and along the length of the terminal towards Luggage Drop Off. Check In was about 50 yards away and was marked by a huge Christmas Tree at the entrance. We entered security at 12:30, had our eXpress passes scanned and photos taken by a lady with an IPad. There was a slight hiccup in that the online system had only allowed me to check-in myself. So, after a small diversion to the check-in desks, we were onboard by 12:45. We walked onto the ship on deck 5 by the aft elevator and was offered a welcome glass of sparkling wine. The staterooms were ready for us!

Cabin Review

Edge Veranda Stateroom

Cabin E2

Bed is by the balcony, great storage for 7 day cruises, superb bathroom and shower. Connecting door opposite bathroom to neighbouring cabin. Not too far from aft elevators so good location. Water was a bit slow to warm in the basin. Had problems sometimes with Infinite Veranda open and close buttons not working immediately,

Took the Duval Loop free bus to the Ernest Hemingway Home and then to Duval Street - easy to access shops and port area
