Barcelona to Europe - British Isles & Western Family Cruises Reviews

We chose this world cruise excited to visit some of our bucket list destinations. While visiting Egypt became impossible due to conflict in the region we were still thrilled we would be going to Rhodes. But not to be. More than half the cruise has been made up of sea days with substandard destinations. Food has bern appalling with regular absence of fresh fruit, salad and now no coffee available ...

Ship is badly in need of an update and suffered numerous mechanical and scheduling issues on the 10 Night Spain/Portugal trip. Staff did their best but seem to be significantly under-staffed compared to pre-Covid levels so service siffers. Persian Garden was only 25% operational and priority embarkation seems to be only available at beginning and end of cruise. The cost of the Retreat is ...

Cruise had a great itinerary and we thought Celebrity was a step up from our traditional RCL cruises. The ship Infinity was in rough shape. Cabin was noisy, we were woken many morning s at 6 am from crew making noise above us. AC and heat were difficult to control Day 2 - The ship had severe problems with power on the 2nd day causing them to shut the ship down for about 6 hours for repair. ...

The cruise was meant to be a relaxing break and booked a Concierge cabin that was partially obscured. On boarding we were left to our own devices, no assistance in finding our way to the cabin and when in the cabin no information on or where the welcome aboard lunch was being held. The concierge cabin was no different to other standard balcony cabins. The glass in the veranda had a crack ...

My wife and I just did a week long round trip from Barcelona. After our NCL cruise in August it was night and day. were all well organized. Embarkation was the easiest we ever did. From arrival top being in our cabin was 13 minutes. Staff very pleasant. Room was clean and organized. We had service twice a day( a lesson for some other cruise lines). Our attendant was tops and pro active without ...

Infinity was the only ship visiting the ports we wanted to explore. It was a wonderful cruise to discover Spain and Portugal and much better than the train or flying. For an older ship, Infinity is still lovely! Yes - she needs to be refurbished - but I love the older style. Would hate to see them change to a sleek, modern decor. We stayed in a Celebrity Suite (which we loved) and enjoyed all ...

We chose this itinerary because we have a cousin that moved to Portugal. She joined us on the cruise with her husband. Thanks to the great app it was the easiest embarkation we’ve ever had. We downloaded our pass, picked a time, and got on very quickly. Our room attendant (balcony room), Dennis was extremely kind and helpful the entire cruise. Our room was always clean and if we needed anything he ...

know we have enough but Cunard is dropping there offer and standards! Cost saving - No chocolates in room on arrival or any nights inc gala night - have they stopped them - No Welcome drinks party from the captain! But was on the Victoria in July and they did the party- so why not now - No Bottle in room Princess grill only half bottle! - Same menus now for last 2 years - Has a chef ...

The Celebrity Infinity is an older ship but is maintained well and the cleaning staff are first rate. Stateroom: we had a prime oceanview cabin. We had a super bargain rate for an inside cabin including classic drinks, wifi and onboard credit, so we took the chance and bid for an upgrade which was accepted - $160 pp. Our room was kept spotless. The furnishings were a bit worn but clean. We had ...

This is our first time cruising with Celebrity and we chose this cruise line after reading the great reviews and because of the itinerary. But this cruise was different from what we were expecting. The positives: Embarkation and disembarkation, entertainment, and cleanliness throughout the ship. The negatives: As soon as we were settled, we wanted to see the ship and get familiar with it. ...
