We then wheeled our luggage across the crossing, over another road and along the length of the terminal towards Luggage Drop Off.Ĭheck In was about 50 yards away and was marked by a huge Christmas Tree at the entrance. We parked in the Midport parking garage just across from Terminal 25 in Port Everglades. 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. The booking included the Classic Drinks package and $300 on-board credit. Concierge Class would have worked out at £400 or $500 extra per person and we didn’t think it was worth the extra cost. We decided to book a standard E2 Infinite Veranda on deck 8 aft directly through Celebrity UK.

We hadn’t cruised with Celebrity before so had to read up on all the different stateroom classes. We looked at the 3 day preview cruises but the prices were almost as high as a 7 day! After Celebrity cancelled some earlier preview cruises and the first 7 day maiden was moved to December 9th, we put down a deposit on this one. We enjoy exploring new ships and this would be our third maiden cruise in the last two years. Like birds attracted to anything shiny, we couldn’t resist the lure of the brand new Celebrity Edge.
