The ship was excellent and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. The only detractors were the distances from port to excursion destinations for a few places. 2-3 hour journey times were often the case. We didn’t go to Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh because of this. Instead we spent an overnight in Pattaya which wa only 40 minutes in a taxi (£8 on a Grab taxi rather than the $60 US the taxis were looking ...
I am amazed to see some of the negative reviews written regarding this cruise! I can hardly comprehend we were on the same ship at the same time. I therefore had to write a review even though I don’t usually do so. We had the most incredible cruise. We have been cruising over 20 years with a variety of different cruise lines and Celebrity are by far our favourite. We ate at Blu. The staff were ...
This was our 14 th cruise with various lines but our first with celebrity. We did 3 nights in Singapore at the beginning of our cruise and added 3nights in Hongkong after the cruise.
Certainly Hongkong is a must see city worthy of anyone’s wish list.Having said that so is Singapore.
The cruise was everything we could have hoped for .Cabin was concierge deck 9 with good size balcony.Solstice ...
Because of Covid this cruise was cancelled 3 years for us, but the Celebrity Lift and Shift deal gave us the opportunity to sail this cruise with same benefits as booked in 2000.
Ship itself is nice, sails quiet and stable. Cabin is a bit outdated but still very comfortable. Bed/matress however was hard compared withn our last cruise with the Solstice and Eclipse. To be replaced? Cabin steward ...
This is a very comfortable ship which is spotlessly clean and which has excellent friendly staff.
Our Neptune suite had a comfortable 3 seater lounge and 2 queen sized beds as we elected to have the very large dual mattress bed separated so as not to disturb one a other. The balcony was extremely spacious.
The onboard entertainment was impressive. The choice of eating venues was enjoyable. ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and previous good reviews. Having read more recent negative reviews i am surprised and would disagree with them. We ate mainly in the included restaurants, mostly the Grand Epernay and the Main Buffet, food was excellent on all occasions, and we are fussy. In particular the steaks in the Grand Epernay were top notch. The main buffet had a great selection, and ...
It would be easy for someone like me who has never cruised on either the old, or the recently renewed Crystal Symphony, to feel like they've crashed a stranger's floating family reunion picnic and wolfed down the barbeque and beer before they notice I’m there. Eavesdrop during a crowded lunch and you'll learn that the majority of both the passengers and crew have sailed together on this same ship ...
Dear John555,
We are thrilled to hear that your experience on Crystal Symphony was an exceptional one!
We deeply appreciate your trust in choosing to sail with Crystal. Our unique offerings...
This is my second Queen Elizabeth review.
Cabin - This time we were in cabin next door to where we stayed last year. Everything was well maintained, clean, and plenty of space and storage for our 34 night cruise.
Service - impeccable everywhere.
Food - Britannia MDR breakfast lunch and dinner always hot, beautifully presented and tasty. Freedom dining works for us. No queues. Every table ...
Background: We've sailed on RCCL 7 times, Celebrity 8 times, Princess once and Seabourn (our most recent) twice. We've also done river cruises with Scenic.
Our last cruise was with Seabourn; a 24-day Antarctica cruise from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We booked Seabourn as on our previous (and only), pre-CoVid cruise we had an exceptional time. Sadly we felt that Seabourn ...
We boarded in HK and we were two couples, staying in the Silver Suites. The flights out were with Emirates in Business class and all went super smoothly with the pickup, checkin and transfers in HK. The hotel that was provided in HK was also very good and we then set off on the cruise. Boarding was no problem at all, not waiting time and the cabins were perfectly cleaned and so nice. The lovely ...
