We normally love Celebrity and like being at sea so a great deal on a suite on a transatlantic cruise should have resulted in a great trip. Sadly Luminae the Suite Restaurant was a huge let down. We had read great reviews and were expecting great things. Out of the first 7 meals 6 went back. Despite having a tomato allergy that they knew about, and constant reminders each time we dined, five ...
The free use of the thallasotherapy pool and spas were great. Deck chair hogs were not.
Smoking was allowed on the far corner of the pool deck and the smell was disgusting. Had to hold my breath when I needed to pass through the area. Why not have smoking on an open deck where others do not have to inhale second hand smoke?
Rude able-bodied passengers occupied the two tables set aside for ...
We were a family of 6 adults. This was my second celebrity cruise. We were in Aqua class. Disappointed in the cruise. The Suez Canal narrator did not have adequate microphone so he ended up speaking to people as they came up to him. Not at all like Panama Canal crossing on NCL. We used Aqua class and main dinning room menu- which was nice to have access to. Not as boring as repeats. The ...
We did noy stay in Rome before departure as we have visited a couple of times before in depth,so we went straight from the airport to the shipwe did not have a great start here as we were told in baggage reclaim to look out on the left hand side when exciting missed them they were behind a great big pillar we walked around the arrivals and went back to our starting point luckily for us we spotted ...
Celebrity is our cruise line of choice! We love Aqua Class staterooms and what comes with it ... especially dining in the Blu. The Persian Gardens on this ship is very small and not as open as on the Solstice Ships, but there for your use.
We chose this particular cruise for the itinerary. It was a "repositioning" cruise so did not come with all the perks that other cruises do, but the price ...
The itinerary of this cruise is good, but affected by the closure of open decks in the hours of darkness for three nights while passing through the Gulf of Aden.
The Blu restaurant exclusive to Aqua passengers was excellent entirely as expected, with an excellent maitre D.
The buffet cafeteria standard of food was poor and bland. Often food was awkward to even reach due to the layout of ...
We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and ports of call. Going through the Suez Canal was one of the highlights of this trip, as was the visit to Petr in Jordan. There were 5 straight days at sea, but that was no problem since there was a wide variety of activities to choose from. We were pleased to find that there were ample deck chairs available on sea days.
We found the staff ...
New places to visit and new cultures to experience.The ports of call were excellent and the time in its port adequate for the tours planned. The crew was good for the most part although attention to detail was lacking. The ship was clean and the housekeeping did a great job. The Hotel manager was visible but not engaged. The Staff Captain did a great job keeping the crew doing their duties as ...
We picked the due for the itinerary and value for money. Rome, Sicily, Athens, Suez Canal, Aqaba for Petra, Muscat, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Sky suite, deck 6, midships, good location close to where you needed to be. Great feature was that the bed faced to window and not side on as in other suites we’ve had.
Good standard of ship and guest entertainers.
Luminae great as usual although there ...
We chose this cruise for its itinerary, which ended with the F1 . The check in was chaotic, but once on-board that was soon forgotten.
Our cabin was at the rear of the ship with a large balcony, this was ideal for our cruising through the Suez canal, offering panoramic views.
My personal opinion is that some excursions were over priced but I know others on-board were happy with ...
