Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Easy location and nice facilities. Advice. Take a taxi to and from the airport, only $12 and 7 minute. Shuttles take forever

Walked to shopping area by dock and was bothered by all the shop keepers pestering us extremely and was unpleasant experience. Sail to the Virgin Islands for a great experience

You must have known what ports you would be going to unless they were changed while already on the ship.

Family cruise

My first Celebrity cruise line cruise. This was a birthday trip for my father. Overall, I would say it was a good experience. Anytime you get to cruise is a good time. I would cruise with Celebrity again.
