We chose Celebrity only because we could do two back to back cruises 7th August and 17th August 2023 (18 nights total) which covered places in Greece and Italy which we wanted to revisit. We knew nothing about their ships until now, as our past 12 cruises were mainly with P &O, Princess, and Cunard, including five half world cruises, and a few smaller ships like Paul Gaugin and Ponant, plus river ...
The title of this review will be explained later, and it has nothing to do with hygiene. For identification purposes my wife and I have been cruising fairly regularly for the past 20 years. We are “older,” fairly healthy, we prefer taking the stairs to riding the elevator. Celebrity has been our favorite cruise line since the start, but we have also cruised on Princess, RCL, Holland America and ...
Bad cruise line, currently on the Equinox and they let about 300 people jump the line while we were getting rained on and lightning striking everywhere. Not to mention food has been sub par and so has the service. I was worried about going to carnival after recent years but celebrity equinox is a down grade from carnival and I have been on many cruises across many company's but celebrity is a ...
We choose this cruise as I was restricted to the date and amount of time I could have off.
We have sailed in the past with Carnival, Ncl, P&O and finally celebrity - this was our 1st Celebrity cruise - and what I can say is that the service on celebrity is better than those other cruise lines.
This was our longest cruise being 13 days - with 7 sea days including (departure day)
The sea ...
We have sailed on Carnival and Royal Caribbean in the past, and wanted to try something different. We had heard very positive reviews about Celebrity and when we found that the second person was 75% off, we went with the Celebrity Equinox. Overall, we had a good cruise. Some things that could not be controlled included the blistering hot and humid days every day of this 8-day trip (that's what we ...
Started writing this review mid way through the cruise as a way of managing my disillusionment, which will give you some idea of how bad it was.
tl:dr version - horrified at how far celebrity has fallen, won't be coming back.
For context this was our 3rd time with Celebrity. And it will be our last.
I noticed a theme with these cruisecritic reviews, but dismissed it (as we had already ...
We had serious concerns about the drop in standards due to covid cut backs after our 2022 cruise but as we had booked this 2023 cruise we were hoping that things had significantly improved. However based on the issues below that have been reported to celebrity directly, we will not be cruising with them again:
1) Quality of white wines specifically and standard champagne were atrociously bad. I ...
Ship is older but clean and in good working order. It’s an older ship and smaller than some of the newer ones but easy to navigate. Staff is pretty good for the most part. Our room steward and our dining room staff were great. The others were OK except for the bar staff. In general the bars and bar staff are the weakest. Food is actually pretty good. We have been on more than a handful of ...
Just took the Celebrity Millenium cruise to Alaska, but just returned from our vacation – in total we were gone over 2 weeks (and one week was the cruise). We like cruising Alaska, so when some we were with our friends last July 2022, we said ‘what should we do in 2023?’ The answer that hot July was go somewhere not so hot! The cruise, which left from Vancouver and ended in Seward, was more ...
This was the worst cruise I have ever taken. Best vacation because of the scenery and wildlife but worst cruise. We had a room on the 9th floor. Noise from the oceanview buffet kept us up all night. Workers pounding clanking rolling carts all night. Did not complain until the last night at 1 am when we had to be up at 5 to catch the train. Even then they stopped for a little while then started ...
