Celestyal Cruises Athens (Piraeus) Reviews

We chose Celestyal Cruise Line mainly for its itinerary. This cruise line had the best options for Greek Islands as well as spent the most amount of time at the ports we wanted most (Santorini and Mykonos). We were in an SG suite and the room was much nicer than I anticipated, with ample room for my family of three. Boarding for this cruise line was unlike any I have ever been on. Our ...

We had been on the Celestyal Crystal in 2019, and decided to repeat it as the itinerary was much better and we love Greece. Anyway, we had a deck 10 junior suite with balcony. embarkation was quick and easy, the cabin was fine, we thought. We got up on Sunday to find no hot water, cured by maintenance after 30 mins! Monday and Tuesday mornings it was barely lukewarm. Wednesday no hot water at ...

I realized the ship when booking was older but had been under renovation. However the food was very limited and the same every night on the breakfast and dinner buffet with limited hours. If you are looking for a happy hr pool side snack Buffett or late night it does not exist. Our room had wet carpet that I talked to them about 6 times but nothing ever was fixed or followed up on. The TVs and ...

We choose this cruise specifically for the itinerary. The over nights in Mykonos and Santorini were the deciding factor. I have been on over 30 cruises with multiple cruise line and I can honestly say this ship was not ready for passengers. We were on the maiden voyage of the Journey and found out that the crew arrived the same morning as the passengers. The ship was not cleaned, it was in fact ...

Purchased a grand suite, was downgraded to jr suite, no toiletries , no television, no chairs on balcony, broken handrail in shower, sometimes no water, toilet didn’t flush & that’s just my cabin. The pools had no water, there was no pool towels on deck, floors and pool railings were filthy,, No covid protocols whatsoever, Bathroom on pool deck (the most common area) had no water, soap or lights, ...

This has been my first trip and I am a solo traveller. I was a bit sceptical after reading all the reviews but this cruise and the staff exceed my expectations. I stayed in the cruise four nights and I couldn't have packed more things or visited more places in such little time. Every day plenty of activities to keep you occupied and fit in the boat. From Greek lessons to south American ...

Great Cruise ! Staff were brilliant could not do enough for you cabins very clean Selection of food superb something to suit everyone Drinks menu was like a book again so much to choose from ! We had a lovely time the only down side was my husband did not sleep great due to the noise of engines He did not bring this to staff attention if he had l know it would have been sorted out and we would ...

If you have cruised on larger ships with a variety of decent food options and amenities, this ship is not for you or maybe any Celestyal cruise. I have been cruising for over 25 years and have had some bumps but this experience was subpar, a 2.5 is more accurate rather than a 3. I made this selection for the ports and as the lovely people at the Celestyal call center explained the staff and food ...

My family was absolutely blown away by the incredible dining service that we received on the Celestyal Olympia Iconic Aegean Cruise. We dined in the Galileo room and were served by Lais and Gede who were just fantastic! The wine steward, Yassir, spoiled us with extremely fast coffee service and even took the time to teach me (a new wine drinker) about wine tasting. My family is a mix of ...

We chose this cruise solely on the itinerary, because it allowed us to see several Greek island locations without having to make numerous ferry trips. Because of the low cost of the fare, we had little expectations of the ship and did not expect the service or amenities to match what we had experienced on larger cruise lines. We were entirely shocked at what high quality this cruise was! First, ...
