This cruise was booked as a joint stag/hen party. My son proposed to his girlfriend on this 2 day cruise to Bruge last year and she accepted. The wedding is in 3 weeks. They decided they'd like a joint cruise again with all their mates and some of the family to celebrate. The ages ranged from about 20 to 60, and a great time was had by all!!!

Me and my husband have cruised a few times before with Celebrity to the Caribbean, but we did realise that the cruise we were on was not comparable due to the large amount of hen and stag parties aboard, all looking for a good time with lots to drink!!! And boy did they drink, they danced, they joked, were loud and had so much fun!!! In fact my sons mate, became quite a Celebrity doing his own version of Peter Andree's mysterious girl and a Mick Hucknall song while in the hot tub, everyone on deck joined in, it was great. From then on, he became known by us and loads of passengers as 'Hot tub guy'...LOL

We have to say the general service was pretty poor, they have waiters everywhere asking to take your drink orders, then you have to wait 20 minutes for it to arrive, because they only seemed to have a couple of bartenders behind the bar, even in the crowded venues. Also trying to purchase photo's was a complete shambles with 2 girls trying to serve people, which resulted in huge queues, which completely blocked the entire area. We gave up in the end, and didn't bother to purchase any for this reason. (About an hours wait)

Cabin Review

Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower

Cabin JF

We were on Rivieria deck in cabin R254. The fridge didn't work, we did report it but no one came to sort it out (As we were only on a 2 day cruise, we wasn't that worried) Our TV remote had a mind of its own, again reported but nothing done about it. This cabin is unoverlooked,and had plenty of storage. The shower cubicle was teeny tiny, and we spend the whole time trying to stop crashing our elbows against the walls while showering. Luckily our son was in the next door cabin, so we wasn't that worried about waking him up!! Also the shower curtain continuously kept coming off its hooks.................

Very near the lifts, so not too much hiking!!

Sound proofing seemed ok, couldn't hear son snoring and he didn't hear us...Bonus..LOL
