Due to COVID I had to cancel a long Celebrity cruise and had cruise credit to use up.
As my wife cannot fly, we pick ports in driving range. So, Bermuda here we come. A lovely Island.
The wheelchair support on and off ship was excellent. Great embarkation and disembarkation teams.
Welcome lunch in main dining room was disappointing. Wife's salmon was nearly jerky, and the room setup ...
Enjoyed the ship, the people, and the employees. These folks work hard and pull off a logistical feet and make it look easy.
Met most expectations and exceeded them in a number of areas.
Enjoyed the MDR; food and service were great! Yes, the portions are small, just order two if you need to.
Entertainment was very good; not necessarily my style but very good nevertheless. Music ...
We just disembarked from our Mediterranean cruise today. Having previously done a Mediterranean cruise on Princess, I am using that as my bar when comparing to Celebrity. Would I take a Princess Cruise again? Absolutely yes. Will I ever book with Celebrity again? A strong no. I liked the ship itself, but the service was overall quite bad. I’m an easy going, reasonable person and do not expect to ...
Chose this cruise for its itinerary and wanted to experience a Celebrity cruise, that while not considered a “luxury line”, is *supposed* to be a higher level/tier cruise line than target market competitors.
IT IS NOT!
Celebrity established itself as the poorest/worst cruise line I’ve experienced well before I even boarded the ship! I spent well over two hours on the phone with at least ...
Just returned last weekend from a week with the Celebrity Equinox and I can give it a sold recommendation.
They really have their priorities right and know what they are doing. Here's an easy example. At the beginning of every major entertainment performance, the Cruise Director opened the occasion with a hello and update on the cruise, status, things to come and helpful information. He then ...
Room service: 5/5
Stateroom attendant provided awesome job. He tidied up the room twice a day. He was polite and friendly.
Oceanview Cafe: 2.5/5
Food choices were fewer. There were 4 permanent stations offering the same exact basic food daily, namely Pasta, Stir fry, Salad, Pasta and Mexican. Only 2 stations offered different verities, namely Indian and there was daily feature.
Dessert ...
Overall, we had a nice vacation and trip on the Celebrity Infinity. This ship is definitely older and a pretty standard, mid sized cruise ship. Do not expect any special bells or whistles on this ship. I would like to point out a few things to be aware of:
1. Age of Ship: I have seen some note that the ship was recently refurbished, but if it did, I did not see it. There was lots of visible ...
Three generations including ten grandkids, 2 to 13 years. This was an ideal itinerary getting Texans out of the summer heat and seeing sights even many of the adult kids had never experienced. Celebrity has a good kids program and that was a major benefit.
Ship size was a compromise--large enough to have multiple activities and not so huge that there are no intimate spaces.
Ship was full ...
This was my first cruise with Celebrity and my second cruise to Alaska. My first cruise to Alaska was on NCL's Bliss. I had read that this cruise line was "upscale" however my experience was mediocre. The buffet food and main dining room food was sub-par. The wait staff were pleasant. I didn't eat at a specialty restaurant, so I cannot speak on that. There were very few activities geared for ...
We took this cruise to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. We knew this was an older, smaller ship but we liked the itinerary so went with it. While the ship is older and could use updating, it is nevertheless impeccably clean and well maintained. That is one thing you can say for Celebrity....their ships are always immaculately clean! Our veranda cabin was smaller than what I am accustomed ...
