We chose this cruise, frankly, because it was very inexpensive. Cheap is always a good inducer for me. We chose an inside guarantee for this Alaska northbound cruise. We were fine with the inside room that we were assigned. A balcony would have been nice but we like going out onto the ship and meeting people. There are plenty of viewing areas on this ship.

We just got off the 6-night Equinox cruise last Saturday with my wife and 12-year-old Granddaughter (GD) and overall, it was an excellent experience and a great cruise. We were in Sky Suite and it was more than enough room for the 3 of us. Our GD is extremely lactose intolerant, and she presents issues with finding food on a cruise, but the whole Luminae staff exceeded our expectations, which I ...
We have have sailed on twenty two cruises with all the major lines and this was the best. After reading negative reviews, we felt we needed to set the record straight. From the time we arrived at the terminal, until our disembarkation every aspect was easy and relaxing. Our cabin was ready the moment we stepped on the ship and our luggage arrived soon after. The safety drill was the easiest one ...
My husband and I booked this cruise a year ago to celebrate my birthday. We were very disappointed. We decided to treat ourselves so we booked Concierge Class. What a waste of money! We never met our concierge other than someone leaving voice mail messages on our phone in the cabin. We were told that when you book Concierge class you will have access to the Pre-Departure Embarkation lounge. ...
My DH and I took this same cruise last year in a Sky Suite, but this year we upgraded to a Celebrity Suite, as a splurge. Not worth the difference in cost, but that was largely due to the decline in service around the entire ship this time. This was our 7th cruise on Summit. She has been our favorite ship as we appreciate the smaller size and intimacy as well as personal service. It was very ...
My son is turning 50 and my granddaughter is turning 18. We wanted to do something really special and booked this 9 day cruise out of Athens. We were 6 all together and even though the Connie is old, it had the perfect itinerary that included Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Ephesus, Kotor and supposedly ended in Venice ( at time of booking). I book through the Casino and they gave me a concierge ...
It’s true, the Infinity needs an overhaul but it still is a beautiful ship but the crew is what was most impressive. We were told it is going into dry dock in January for an overhaul.
We are long time cruisers and have been sailing with Celebrity since before they were purchased by RCCL, almost 30 years ago. We chose this itinerary because we hadn’t yet been to Croatia.
Leaving from Athens ...
This was our 5th cruise with Celebrity.
The embarkation process was incredibly efficient and our best experience of it yet.
The ship was full (probably because of school half-term holidays - the children were very well behaved and no problem at all) and getting a table in the main cafe was always difficult for breakfast and lunch. The food at lunchtime and breakfast was excellent, although ...
Chose this cruise for the destination and believed Celebrity offered luxury cruises. We found this not to be the case. Ship was overcrowded, struggled to get a seat on several occasions and service was also slow at times. Ocean View Cafe at breakfast and lunch was so busy you could not find a seat, it felt like a factory canteen.
Cuvee dining, food was average, portion sizes small and ...
Chose the cruise to experience Celebrity and due to close proximity to the port. The ship is old and in poor condition. There were sewage smells on the lower decks. The food in the dining room was hit or miss. On the last night we had chicken saltimbocca. It was the worst meal that I've ever had on a cruise. The buffet food was generally good, however the selections were lacking. There were ...
