 Due to covid ships have been sailing at less than 50% capacity to allow for social distancing.  We were ok with this but on the first cruises the passenger load was down around 600 passengers on a ship with a capacity of  2,886.    It was like a private yacht.

Celebrity has a move up program that allow passengers to bid on upgrading to a more expensive cabin.    We were very luck and were upgraded from a SkySuite to a Royal on the first cruise and to the Penthouse on the second.   

 

 

 

 

We  finally came  out of COVID lockdown hibernation after 18 months.    These cruises were booked after cancellation of our cruises just as we touched down at FLL on 3/14/2020.    Wow! That seems so far away now.

This cruise began as a booking of our “FREE” Zenith cruise.   The free cruise when you hit 3,000 points is for a Veranda cabin but you can upgrade to a cabin of your choice by paying the difference.    For this cruise we chose to sail in a SS cabin.   We added the second cruise so we could enjoy a B2B.

The first cruise is a 12 night Ultimate Southern Caribbean departing September 5
