Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first time sailing on Celebrity. Our first time sailing for Port Everglades and our first time doing a 3-day cruise.

Celebrities boarding process was extremely smooth. We were able to move through security and into our initial waiting area in about 10 minutes.

The service has been excellent. The staff around the ship have been very friendly and accommodating, which we love.

The food has been good. We've been to the buffet and of course dinner tonight.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Ultra Deluxe veranda room if traveling with kids for extra space and bunk beds.
Check the deck number when booking this cabin to avoid obstructed views (deck 7 has more obstruction).
Sign up for the Persian Garden thermal spa pass if you enjoy spa facilities.
