We are long time cruisers; Norwegian, NCL. Royal Caribbean, Virgin, Holland America, MCS and this is our second Celebrity. First one on brand new (at the time) Reflection, out of Barcelona. We based our decision to do this cruise on THAT experience…bad mistake.
Food is horrendous, I’m not picky (at all), but 7 out of 9 dinners were a few bites and give up. Pastries at all venues are bland, ...
We just returned from a 10 day southern and it was really not the cruise that I expected. The Summit that we were on 12/2/23 was so much better. For one, the Summit did not nickel and dime us for drinks. The up charge on the Silhouette in Jan was ridiculous. The price of wine went up 3-4.00 a glass (you can buy the entire bottle at the store for less that a glass). Even the martinis, wines and ...
On Jan 12, my husband and I boarded the Celebrity Constellation for a 12 night cruise. We had been notified that the previous cruise had contacted norvovirus. Therefore the boarding process would be delayed while they did an extra level of cleaning of the ship. We finally boarded and wait until around 2:30 in the afternoon when the crew announced that all cabins were clean and we were free to ...
This is long and detailed, nearly 12,000 words. Just scroll down to the bottom if you just want the summary and highlights!
Celebrity Constellation Western Caribbean & Central America 1-12-24
Our travels began at 7:00 AM on Thursday January 11 as we left our home. We made a short stop at Wawa for coffee, tea, and breakfast before heading out to the FL Turnpike, FL route 60, the Polk ...
This was originally supposed to be a birthday celebration, but ended up becoming an amazing time for 2. Special thanks goes to our concierge Alejandra, stateroom attendant Ketut, and David Vasiljevic senior assistant beverage operations manager for all of their expertise in ensuring that our time was memorable. Some of the real highlights are the QSine restaurant with Le Petite Chef. A fun and ...
Decided to take a short cruise for our 43rd wedding anniversary. Last year in January, we went on the Apex for a week and upgraded to the Retreat and had a Sunset Suite. The service was amazing though we weren't impressed with the food at Luminae so we ended up going to a different restaurant every night and there are several to choose from. None were really outstanding which is unusual for ...
We are a retired couple from Florida and have cruised many times. The itinerary was great in the southern Caribbean: Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, and St. Kitts. The ship was very tired and worn out with lots of visible rust, weathered wood, stained cushions, ripped chairs, and many other damages noticeable. The food in the main dining room was very good, but the options were ...
We have been on over 20 Celebrity cruises and have attained Elite Plus status. This was our eight time on the Equinox (visiting the same ports we've visited for years), but the first time in 5 years. We were on a back to back (19 days at sea), so the review includes our experiences on the 9 Night Aruba, Curacao & Cayman Cruise. Below I outline what we found to be the good, the not-so-good and ...
While this is not my first Celebrity Cruise, or even first time on the Summit. This has by far been the worst experience. Have been charged multiple times for the same items that I have had to spend time disputing. Our room has 6 outlets and 3 dont work in any way, the 3 that are out are bedside outlets. Have had 1/2 of our food orders incorrect with no offer of replacement. While since going on ...
This ship needs work; physically and otherwise. It’s older; has seen better days but with some focus on improvement, it can come back to its past glory.
Stateroom
Temperature in room uncontrolled
Had to ask for room cleaning first day
Had to ask for towel replacement 3rd day
(Found out later that our cabin steward quit unexpectedly 1st day)
Food
Great food selection in ...
