We went on this cruise as part of a Seminar at Sea for Travel Agents. The seminar was hosted by Royal Caribbean/Celebrity and Jeff Geston our local representative. During the cruise we had two 3 and a half hour sessions. Both of these sessions turned out to be very informative and interesting. A very nice presentation by Jeff. As usual there are always good and not so good things about every cruise. So here are our impressions of this cruise. Cons A machine broke down during ship boarding and the boarding process was very long There were no large open areas of the ship. It sometimes gave the impression of being confined. Prices for items seemed too high. Beer 4.50, Martini 7.00, Normandie Restaurant $25.00 Food selection after 2pm was limited. You could have hot dogs/hamburgers/fries until 3pm and then pizza til 7pm. Finger sandwiches and yogurt 4pm til 6pm. It would have been nice to have some lower fat options between 2 and 4pm. Pros Biggest pro of every great cruise are the people you meet. So here's to Al, Myrna, Joe, Joy, Vicky, Paul, Alice, Shirley, Renee, Myrtle, Diana, Jeff and everyone else I didn't mention for making this cruise special. Celebrity designed this ship for "intimate cruising". The small spaces ended up making the ship never seem crowded even though this was a full sailing. Normandie Restaurant - What a meal, Chateaubriand, and the service was incredible. Alex, our waiter, and Alesandra, our sommelier, were both absolutely fantastic. The disembarkation process was as fast as I have ever seen it. They called our exit group about 8:55am. We were getting out of the taxi at the airport at 9:20am.
