We sailed from Vancouver on August 27, and as other reviews have mentioned, the embarkation process is a complete mess. With 3 ships in port there was upwards of 7,000 passengers all snaking thru the same line and it took us almost 2 hours to board. Someone definitely needs to look at this process. We’ve had 8 cruises in total and have never gone thru something like this! Being from Vancouver, I’m ...
This was our 7th Celebrity cruise, but the first since 2017 due to you-know-what-global-disaster. A couple of weeks before departure I ventured back to Cruise Critic and read so much doom and gloom about how bad Celebrity has become, and all the loyal passengers moving to better and more luxurious lines etc etc. I understand this particular demographic and their mindset, but it was a little ...
Unfortunately the official survey sent by the cruise line focused mostly on the staff, but I have a few other things to mention. The luggage took 6 hours to get to the cabin, although my check in was the earliest. Meals could be slow in the main dining room. One night it took an hour and a half to get our entrees. Dinner in the Murano, a specialty restaurant, was very good, but certainly not ...
I cannot say enough great things about this cruise and the captain and staff that made it so wonderful.The buffet was the best I have ever had with so many choices and different choices every day.The food was fantastic and I give much credit to the chefs that made this possible.The dining room for dinner was a true delight and again the food was just wonderful.I want to thank Ernesto,Jovet and ...
My first cruise...a friend said probably the least amount of children with Carnival...cabin steward was very attentive. All staff had kind words & greetings at all times, if they were assigned to you or not. The waiters and waitresses were exceptional. Moonlight Sonata Deck 3 was our dining room. Ron and his asst. Yolanda were outstanding. They made the experience wonderful. We almost neglected ...
I traveled with a group of four on the Millenium going southbound from Seward. We traveled northbound on Holland America and we were all excited because Celebrity is (was) our favorite cruise line. Boarding was super easy and I was so happy with how everyone greeted us. After a week on the ship we feel that the food was pretty tired (limited choices and lacking of taste). We used to have three ...
Our cruise to Alaska was very special and Celebrity did everything they could to make sure guests were well cared for. While other cruiselines are taking things away from the cruise experience, Celebrity seems to be finding ways to constantly improve and add to the guest experience. The food and service in the main diningroom as well as in the buffet was excellent. Also, the specialty ...
This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska (first 10 years ago with Celebrity, and second 4 years ago with Holland, both Inside Passage). We decided for this one as a way to visit Denali.
The good things:
A) Celebrity did a major refurbishment of the Millennium. And it is not just some makeup: the ship got a major rejuvenation rework (we travelled in the Infinity a few months ago and the ...
Beware,
came on healthy, left with covid! Food was awful! They broke my luggage as well. Value of 250. Gave me a cheap bottle of champagne to compensate me. The food was so salty. Every time I ate it my feet and hands were swollen. Also went down to get medicine and I asked the nurse if there were people on board with covid and she said yes. I asked her to give me the symptoms of covid and ...
We have sailed on Celebrity the last 7 cruises we have taken. This was our third time reserving in the Retreat.
The ship is good for cold weather sailings, however, with no Retreat Sundeck, private pool and bar, would not spend the money for the Retreat.
Suite service was excellent. Our butler, Orsa, was fantastic. Always there when you needed something.
Bar Service at the World Class ...
