After my experience on the Celebrity Silhouette, the Celebrity cruise line has fallen to the bottom of my list. This is after more than 40 cruises on 8 different cruise lines.
At embarkation, a drink of water or lemonade was for Suite passengers only.
The Embarkation Lunch for Concierge Class passengers included a salmon filet that was overcooked, tough and chewy short ribs, a table for 2 ...
I have waited to post my review as I was waiting for the outcome of a complaint raised with Celebrity.
We have sailed with various cruise lines, our last 5 being with Celebrity Solstice class.
I'll start with the good: The silhouette remains a beautiful spacious ship. The service (with the exception of the MDR) was very good. Room service breakfast and the food in the buffet restaurant was ...
Ok, where do I start. This cruise was a first for us in many ways. This was not our first cruise out of Florida.
First, this was our first experience with Celebrity. Second, this was our first Balcony room.
Let me begin with our experience in Fort Lauderdale . We don't often think of the time we spend in a departure city as part of the vacation. But, Fort Lauderdale is great. The ...
My wife and I decided to try Celebrity after many cruises on Royal Caribbean.
Pre-Cruise - there were some frustrations here as we attempted to reach the Butler several times to ask for some amenities prior to boarding but never heard back after 2 messages were left.
Embarkation - excellent, we were in a Sky Suite and really felt taken care of as we were walked to the Suites Lounge but were ...
We enjoyed the itinerary and cabin, but had a lot of issues on this ship compared with our last cruise, which was on Princess. A few issues
- Last minute update to a shore excursion that led us to cancel it (self driving tour- would have to share a car with strangers given group size of 2 - should have been included in description)
- Food in main dining room was very hit or miss. Buffett ...
A fun trip around Italy, missed a stop because of a storm but oh well, money for tour was refunded immediately.
Enjoyed the stops especially, Montenegro. The walk-through tour of old town and the farm was fun. We got a lot of ideas for our daughter that bought a small farm recently.
Ship is a nice size for this trip, easy to get off and on even on the tender stop.
cabin a assessable sky ...
I picked this cruise for the ports of call - I have no loyalty to any one cruise line. Ports, Price, and then Ship are how I decided on any cruise. After reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about the wear and tear of the facilities and thought the food would be awful. While the ship is old and the room is beyond old, the room was clean, the common areas were also clean, and many public ...
We picked the cruise for the destination, it suited our timelines and we wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords.
Overall I was impressed with the cabin and the staff were excellent, the facilities were good, however I did get frustrated at the amount of upselling, be that shops or the facilites on board including the very expensive "speciality dining". Compared to previous cruises with P&O and ...
I traveled with a group of four on the Millenium going southbound from Seward. We traveled northbound on Holland America and we were all excited because Celebrity is (was) our favorite cruise line. Boarding was super easy and I was so happy with how everyone greeted us. After a week on the ship we feel that the food was pretty tired (limited choices and lacking of taste). We used to have three ...
I sailed on the Equinox for three week this past Aug 2023. Tips are going up and Butler service discontinued for S-1 category without compensation. For those of you expecting breakfast delivered you still get it by ordering from room service just like everyone else does and its cold. The main difference is you paid extra for a retreat suit and are paying premium tips. Save your money book a ...
