Celebrity Southampton Cruise Reviews

I selected this cruise because my friends were already booked on it. This was a mistake because the ship was much much larger than I expected- I should have researched the ship more carefully. I hated the fact that we needed to use the lifts to get from floor to floor. This made me feel as though I was in a hotel. I hated the large Oceanview Restaurant where there was so much food on offer! I ...

My family and i had two concierge rooms on this 14 night baltic cruise. we chose this itinerary for the ports of call. Specifically St. petersburg during the world cup. as you can imagine, the cruise line charge a premium for this cruise as we were supposed to stay overnight during the world cup! due to an "act of God", the captain insisted that it was too windy for us to dock in St. ...

Wanted to see St Petersburg but could not get into port because of weather. My partner had medication that needed to be kept in a fridge between 2-8C degrees. Pre cruise we were told there would be a fridge in cabin. There was not just a chiller which reached 14C this is just for keeping drinks chilled not a fridge. They gave us another portable so called fridge but this again was a ...

We chose this cruise as we wanted to visit St Petersburg, we went for 14 nights on 23 June 2018 and were to spend 2 days in St Petersburg. Staff were fantastic, probably the best I've experienced on 14 cruises. I thought ship itself was great and cabin quite spacious, even if some people felt it a little tired. Food was good as were shows in the main theatre. Disappointing - they just ...

We chose the cruise for the itinerary and the quality of the ship. Naturally we were disappointed that we never made it to St Petersburg. Although the staff were suitably apologetic, bearing in mind it was matters outside their control, we did feel that could have done more to make up the severe disappointment that the passengers felt. The food, staff and administration were very good and our ...

We chose this expensive cruise primarily to get to St Petersburg. Due to high winds, the ship couldn't dock (although the P&O Britannia which is larger did). They apologized repeatedly but offered ZERO in compensation. I realize that this was probably an act of nature, but some recognition of our disappointment would have been appreciated. They did refund the port charges although for some ...

We chose this cruise to fill a dream of visiting St Petersburg. We boarded the ship on 23rd June for this 14 night cruise. Embarkation went very quickly and we had lunch in the Ocean View Cafe while waiting for our cabin to be ready. The itinerary was good calling in at Zeebrugge for Bruges, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, St Petersburg and Warnemunde for Berlin. Facilities on board were ...

This was our second cruise with celebrity and we chose this itinerary as we only wanted to stay in SPB for one night and liked the idea of an overnight in Stockholm. Getting on at Southampton was so quick and easy, all in all took about 20 mins. The ship is beautiful, well appointed and clean. Our stateroom attendant (Dora) was amazing and very responsive. As was our concierge. We met ...

The trip to Russia was a bucket list goal, the cruise started fine but then on reaching the st Petersburg channel, the captain announced and act of good or: wind prevented this vessel from entering Russia. In question and answers this has happened previously and als a smaller vessel would have got in. So begs a question as to whether celebrity are all about size! And income. The cruise is ...

1st time for a cruise, started well at Southampton. Really easy parking at dock and very smooth transition through customs to the ship. But very disappointed due to being unable to dock in St Petersburg which was the purpose on the cruise. For me this became a slight waste of money. Cause was due to cross winds and the size of the celebrity silhouette it was unable to dock so I would suggest a ...
