This was my 6th cruise. I've been on Carnival, NCL, HAL and RCL. This New England cruise has given me reason to take another look at the other lines again. Dining room service was slow and below average. Buffet was poor to say the least. The staff is clearly trying but they just don't have the numbers or materials to provide good food and service. I'm still trying to figure out how you can ...
First time Celebrity cruisers (we have traveled 5 times on Disney and 1 on Viking Ocean). This has always been an itinerary we have been interested in and it did not disappoint. It's very much and adult and upscale feel in the rooms and public areas - understated and nice. We have always thought that this would be an adult offering with great food that would really mesh with our tastes ...
I was very interested in the itinerary, the price was reasonable and we liked Celebrity in the past.
The good things.....the crew was wonderful, our stateroom was nice, except the shower didn't drain properly (as someone else mentioned), the evening shows were good but too short, the lectures by the naturalist were excellent and the buffet was good.
The main dining room experience was a ...
I cruise with Celebrity often. Picked this cruise to see Nova Scotia and Canada for eleven day cruise. Itinerary looked good. The food was very good, chef in restaurant did a great job. Wine pored freely was nice. What I found disturbing was the overall condition of the ship. Deep rust in many areas, furniture broken, missing cushions on rear deck by cafe. Asked what’s going on with the ratty ...
Always wanted to visit Nova Scotia so we chose this cruise for our 50th Anniversary. Our primary issue was the VERY LOUD games and music from the public areas below O'Sheehan's and the Lotus Garden restaurants. Decided to dine often at the very quiet dining room at the rear of the ship. Excellent service and meal choices. O'Cagney's Steak House was also excellent. No Irish beer at ...
We live in SE MA, less than an hour's drive from Boston, and had been wanting to sail this itinerary for some time, as we wouldn't need to fly.
The embarkation day was rainy & dreary, but as we are Platinum members, we at least didn't have to wait too long to board. Our cruise routine is to never eat in the buffet on embarkation or disembarkation days...it always seems too busy, plus you ...
The ship is old and in desperate need of refurbishing. We got a great rate and feel that it was worth the fare we paid. Had we paid full fare I would have been very upset.
1. as per the title, the ship is in need of refurbishing, and a good cleaning, first ship I have been on where they are not constantly cleaning especially while in port.
2. club balcony small, wall to wall beds w/maybe ...
This is the fourth time I have taken a Bermuda cruise with NCL, unfortunately, this was the most disappointing of the four. This was the first time on the NCL Pearl and while the ship was nice and the staff was exceptional there were a few areas that are not like they were in past sailings. First, the entertainment was a significant downgrade, in the past the nightly entertainment was excellent ...
First let me start by saying the cruise itself was a mostly pleasurable experience.
• starting with the easy check-in process, it was very smooth.
• the room was ready at approx. 3:00 p.m. With our luggage waiting for us.
• no more turn down service as was our many previous cruises.
• Dining room was pretty much hit and miss for dinner (the quality has gone down a bit)
• Lotus ...
This cruise was a gift. The outside room with a Balcony was wonderful. Roomy and definitely large enough for 2 adults. The food was average. I ate at Cagney Steakhouse and was disappointed. I make a tastier steak at home on the grill. The Brazilian restaurant was Good, especially because there is plenty of variety. I expected more shows than what was presented. The dance class was great. It ...
