My first cruise. I picked the solstice cruise bc I could drive to Seattle. I saved money on the flight and booked a celebrity suite with the money saved. I also read positive reviews about kids club and heard the food was quite good. My goal with the suite was to get as close as possible to an all/inclusive type cruise (like crystal or regency ss) which wouldn’t have been a good choice for my ...
This was my first ever cruise and everything good I heard about cruising was surpassed and everything bad I heard about cruising was never going to happen on the celebrity infinity. We chose aqua class, prepaid drinks and gratuities. But the staff were so good so friendly and so knowledgable we chose to tip generously where we thought it appropriate which to be fair was most of the time. ...
Have been on 50 plus cruises
This was absolutely the most disgusting food ever in all venues , including luminae, the restaurant exclusive to suite
Passengers. The service staff were heroic in their effort the mitigate the very very poor food quality. The “chefs” didn’t attempt to defend the inferior quality of the products served . Have sailed Celebrity in the past , last time ...
My son chose this cruise for me and two grandchildren because of his schedule; otherwise would have chosen Disney or Princess, more kid-oriented. Very good food with lots of choices, either buffet, which kids usually preferred, or waiter service, food excellent but long wait time, however next to ocean view window. Nice swimming pools kids liked and outdoor film showing, hot tubs not hot enough by ...
We wanted to go to Alaska (and had cruised there before 20 years ago). We decided to do the Talkeetna Treasures land/sea cruise tour. The land portion of the trip was amazing. I am still trying to fathom how large Alaska is. We were fortunate enough to see Denali twice while on the tour (so we are members of the 30% club). We didn't see a lot of wildlife (eagle, moose, bear) but the countryside is ...
My travel agent suggested celebrity was on top of the line of cruises regarding service and entertainment, so I trusted her and although I don't have any cruise experience ( this was my first) I had a great time, everywhere I went there was someone smiling at me and asking me if I needed something.
I personally loved the gym, I like to workout and it is a very well equipped fitness center with ...
Bucket list Alaska trip did not disappoint. But Ship did! Was way understaffed in dining room, to the point of painful. 2 1/2 hrs for a meal. Food portions were the smallest I have ever seen on a cruise. Lido deck became our saving grace. Always plenty of food, but seemed to stick with the same themes, not much variety. Indian and stir fry food became the staple for the area. Neither were my cup ...
We generally cruise Royal but decided to try something differently and go with their sister line. Everything we had heard was good and how can you not like Alaska? The 7 day north bound cruise was truely awe inspiring. The wildlife and amazing landscapes will be remembered forever. The shore excursions really gave us a wonderful view of this wilderness and its creatures. All of the folks running ...
Traveled with two other couples, all wanted to see Alaska and Celebrity offered a good package that included beverages for the same cost as Royal, where we have done most travel.
As others have noted, the Celebrity website is terrible. I can get more information more easily on Carnival, for heaven's sake. Make sure you print everything out and be prepared to carefully review at ...
I had avoided cruises in the past both due to extreme seasickness and watching travel shows about cruises in which everyone was line dancing. I was convinced to go to Alaska because the Inside Passage is calm and the scenery fantastic. I did not experience any seasickness with the help of Bonine, and we were blessed with terrific weather to view the sights.
I was surprised there were so many ...
