Let me start my review by saying I have a special needs grandson and I love animals. There was a dog on board that the owners classified as a service dog. They let everyone pet even the restaurant staff while serving the other guest. The problem came when the staff didn't wash their hands after. We notice on two different days this occurring with even the restaurant manager doing this the first ...
I have cruised on two other cruise lines and decided to try Celebrity this time. Some parts of the experience were impressive and others very disappointing. The embarkation process was smooth, but lengthy. We were not informed of a specialized embarkation time until two weeks prior to the cruise. As transportation to Seattle was booked far in advance, that left many passengers checking in ...
Went on this cruise as I travelled on the same boat when on the New Zealand Christmas cruise. The boat is well maintained, has good staff, however has a somewhat impersonal feeling and the food in the ocean view buffet is definitely sub par. The excellent naturalist Brett Nixon gave 4 fabulous talks. His wife, Miss Amanda, the historian is also excellent and gave interesting talks about the ports ...
My husband and myself (50's) were planning on a mediterranean cruise and then changed our minds to stay domestic. we had booked celebrity and so we stayed with the line. we have cruised on royal caribbean and enjoyed the lifestyle. we booked a skysuite and that made our great trip so much nicer! enormous bathroom with a bathtub!! huge room. Butler on call....with morning coffee. dramamine. ...
We just returned from a cruise on the Celebrity Solstice. We thought the ship was amazing. It was clean, the rooms were very comfortable and there was ample room in the bathroom, and we loved having a balcony to see all the amazing scenery. I enjoyed the Casino slot machines and the nightly entertainment. We stayed on the 10th floor by the the Library which I thought I would enjoy but I had very ...
We chose this destination because my niece had never been up to Alaska. I've enjoyed it for many years. I've cruised on many lines & previously on the Constellation (out of Dover, UK), Infinity and Millenium in recent years. Their brand image strategy has changed from trying to capture cruisers from Cunard, Seabourn or Silver Seas lines to maybe just trying to attract new cruisers in their ...
Most of the reviews we read said this was a luxury cruise liner, we found that the central atrium went from bottom to top and that on deck 3 they would have a band and singer, this noise travelled up every level and into every public space which came off this central atrium, this included The Library, were you would want it yo be quiet, the games room also wanting it yo be quite, little alcoves, ...
We just returned from our Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Solstice, and I wish I was still onboard! From the very beginning to the very end, our cruise was fabulous. We had sailed on Carnival out of New Orleans before where we found the embarkation and disembarkation to be absolutely horrible. We weren't sure what to expect in Seattle, but I have to say, both were so easy it was amazing. ...
My second time to Alaska, the first being on RCCL Radiance of the Seas in 2001. First time on Celebrity. Very few kids (schools back in most places)-ship was sold out. Since kiddo grown, decided to give X a try. Service was good for most part. Stateroom attendant and dining room staff outstanding. Guest relations - not so much. Entertainment was good, food was not as good as I expected. ...
My wife and I have completed over fifteen cruises and this was out first time on Celebrity. We choose Aqua Class primarily for the Blu restaurant and were not disappointed. We drove up from Oregon so we did not stay in Seattle pre or post cruise. The embarkation was easy as we dropped off our bags at the pier, my wife waited while I drove to the parking lot which was nearby. Hopped on the ...
