Baltic cruise and Russia were on our bucket list. We spent 2 nights in Amsterdam prior and got to the pier around 1:30. As elite members, we had a special line so check-in and embarkation went quickly. Cabins were ready when we boarded. Nice to have the champagne again that we missed on our last cruise. Our veranda cabin on deck 9 was exactly what we were used to. Plenty of closet space and ...
We first went on Silhouette five years ago and have cruised with Celebrity (and others) every year since. We find that Celebrity offer good food, entertainment and service with good ports of call so we tend to look for balcony offers.
We chose this cruise for the ports of call and were really looking forward to Russia. We embarked within 10 minutes of arriving at Southampton port. We then ...
We chose the cruise because of its great value and the inclusion of drinks package and a balcony! Always wanted to visit Russia and it did not disappoint. Overall we had an amazing time but found the shops on board gave you the hard sell to the point where you did not want to go In Them! I found the tips way too expensive compared to other cruise lines... I also thought the shuttle bus services ...
Last minute booking, ship very clean and staff very helpful, some abit pushy to sell you stuff.
Dining room very cramped and 10 round a table is way too many! Even thou we asked for a table of 4! Gave up and ate in the ocean view cafe every night, which we found the food much nicer and more choice, apart from it is self service but you can choose where you sit!
Docking in the industrial ...
Chose after being recommended by friends.
Wanted to visit places we had not been to before.
As we had never been to Scandinavia wanted to go there and also wanted to see Tallin and The Hermitage in St Petersburg.
Liked what Celebrity offered in terms of on board packages facilities and variety of excursions at places the cruise stopped at.
Plenty of activities available on board who h ...
You know the funny thing about holidays is when they are over it is almost like they never happened and all we have is a dream of all the new places and people. We had a wonderful 2 weeks on the cruise. It was my first cruise but we had perfect weather and seas for the whole 14 days sailing. Some of the crew thought this cruise was the best they had ever known for good weather and calm seas. I ...
We chose the Baltic Cruise as we felt we would like something different from a beach holiday this year and were really interested in visiting Russia.
The Cruise cost us approximately £2k each with an additional £500.00 spent on excursions and £400 spending money. We bought the 'classic' drinks package and paid gratuities 'up front'. (Still leaving money for the cabin steward as he had looked ...
Wanted to visit the Baltic and Celebrity was recommended by friends who frequently cruise. A very good experience overall. A well organised embarkation and on board earlier than expected. Had to wait a few hours before cabin ready but expected that. First impressions of ship was exceptionally clean but thought it was very dated. Extremely friendly staff, always helpful and very polite.

We were keen to visit many of the Baltic destinations and Celebrity Cruises had been recommended to us by friends. The ship was excellent and certainly met the vast majority of our needs. All of the staff were extremely attentive and the service was excellent across the ship.
Our experience in the main dining room was also excellent with an extensive and impressive range of menu options. The ...
We had never been on a cruise so had no idea what to expect. From the moment we arrived in the car park the service was exceptional. Our luggage was taken as soon as we opened the boot!!!
The embarcation was seamless and fairly quick and we were in our cabin in no time.
For the whole 2 weeks the service was perfect. The staff are so friendly and helpful and our cabin was spotlessly cleaned ...
