I've already signed up on the Celebrity site and have been checking on it. Thats where I go the information that I assumed meant I'm 2c.

If I get knocked down to another balcony class then I'm OK with that. Or, since I am a cruise first timer, Maybe I'll get a teaser upgrade to convince me to do more trips
I think it's already the start of a new obsession! I'm considering doing a Western Caribbean trip this summer now in addition to the December sailing. Just need to find some sailings that don't have 100% single supplements (which I realize may be a bit tought during the summer) or find a friend to go with me.
Based on my reading up on CruiseCritic.com, I feel pretty good about the choice to go with Celebrity. They may cost a bit more but as long as the service and experience is there then I'm all in!
FYI, there might be something to this upgrade thing for first time Celebrity cruisers. My wife and I booked a 2D guarantee on the Solstice for our first ever Celebrity sailing this last January. We got a five category upgrade to a Sunset Verandah in one of the widest aft balcony suites and were very pleased with how that worked out.
You certainly won't get anything less than your 2C. That's why the guarantee.
Enjoy your trip. Many of the ports on your itinerary are particularly good for diving.
