This was our 17th cruise and 1st one on Celebrity. While it was a "nice" cruise, it did not live up to the high expectations we expected based on friends' recommendations. Celebrity is supposed to be an upgrade from Royal Caribbean, but we didn't find anything special / better than RC. And the service was lacking--too few crew members to handle a full-ship. So we spent a lot of time waiting, ...
Having sailed at least six times on NCL in the last two years, we ventured onto this Celebrity ship to try something different. Huge mistake that we will not repeat.
Two positives about this cruise: (1) The staff were generally pleasant and tried hard. (2) Embarkation and disembarkation is the fastest and easiest we ever experienced.
Unfortunately that's all there is to say that's ...
I am a very loyal customer to Celebrity so I am not happy to report this cruise was disappointing at the very least. I am convinced Celebrity uses this ship and itinerary to train new staff. Customer service and job knowledge was lacking. The manager of the Blu Restaurant refused to enforce the dress code. Nothing like trying to have dinner sitting next to people in shorts, tank tops, flip ...
We are frequent cruisers and have sailed on many different lines and size of ships, but over the last ten years have favored Royal Carribeans brand as our favorite line. Knowing that Celebrity is a brand under the Royal fleet and never sailing on Celebrity we wanted to try and compare what Celebrity offers as a premium line under the RC umbrella. We were not disappointed but frankly impressed with ...
We tried this cruise itinerary because it was a bit longer than the usual 7 night Caribbean cruises. First day at sea followed by island visits to San Juan, St. Croix, Antigua, St. Kitts, and St Maarten Having 2 sea days at the end of the trip was very relaxing!
The ship is beautiful on the inside. We travelled on the Beyond in November and preferred that ships outdoor spaces on that ship ...
After 4 years, we returned to sailing on January 3-12 Caribbean cruise on the Silhouette.
Usually I book the cruises (this was our 19th) but my husband booked this one for the itinerary and mainly 3 sea days..
We flew from MN to Miami and stayed at the Langford Hotel. Very nice & quiet, less then one mile to the terminal.
We were onboard within 20 minutes. So, we went to our stateroom, ...
Overall, I would say this was an underwhelming cruise. Our departure was a mess with the ship being delayed into port with fog. They bused us to a mall to wait with no communication as to when we could look to get onboard. We were walking around a mall for 8 hrs., then we got on a bus, they made us get off the bus, the buses left, then returned 90 min later. It was 8pm at night when we finally got ...
We booked the cruise at the Future Cruise office only two weeks prior to embarkation, while on board the ship in December. A hefty amount of on-board credits was included. We expected an obstructed view 2D balcony on deck 6, but got 9176, a 1B unobstructed view. We had to return our rental car at 10:30am, and the shuttle dropped us off earlier then our assigned check-in time. The formalities took ...
We chose Celebrity thinking we would get a better experience and more refined than we have on RYC (which have been great on the 3 cruses we have taken with them).
I was quite disappointed to be honest, the ship was tired with worn out carpet, rust visible on the outside of the ship and generally not the experience we were sold. Most of the staff were great and tried to make up for the tired ...
This was our 2nd time on Equinox and we have another cruise booked on this ship on July 8th, 2023. Really hoping they bump up the quality and creativity of main dining choices for July! [Menu in Jan 2022 was better in all ways]
All 5 ports were new for us which was the main choice for picking this cruise.
Easiest , fastest boarding ever. Couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes car to ...
