Celebrity Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

We booked this trip far in advance. It was a 60th b'day celebration for both myself and my childhood friend. We traveled as two couples, ages ranged from 59 to 65. I've been on around 12 or more cruises on various lines over the years. This ship was nothing short of stunning. The furniture, decor and artwork! I'm amazed at any bad reviews I read. I have to wonder what they're used to if ...

Great cruise from Rotterdam to Rome. I had booked a Sky Suite because I didn't like the new balcony cabins. Fabulous care by the cabin crew. In general, if you want to praise something about this trip, then it is the friendly and perfect staff. I was spoiled very much. I liked the spacious Sky Suite. However, I missed a lounger on the balcony. There were only 2 rather uncomfortable chairs and ...

Just want to start off saying that the ship and crew are fabulous. We’ve been on more than 10 Celebrity Cruises over the years, back after Covid, and things have changed. Firstly I must say the entertainment was excellent and so were the itinerary and shore excursions. The breakfast and lunch buffets were also excellent. The problems begin with dinner. The first night we were given a card in our ...

After 21 Celebrity cruises we were looking forward to this post-Covid cruise. This shows we have previously been very satisfied with the Celebrity product. We had Celebrity flights and transfers, couldn't find any rep when coming out of arrivals, then the coach driver got lost. We are Captain's club Elite Plus but the only priority boarding was for Suite passengers. Captain's club benefits ...

We were on the APEX Sept. 11, 2022 for a 12 day repositioning cruise Amsterdam to Rome. Celebrity admitted that the ship was understaffed by 225 crew members, and it showed. Dining service was impacted. One meal took 2.5 hours. Overall, the food seems to have slipped compared to past Celebrity experiences. We sent 3 entrees back for poor quality during the cruise. One tour guide was an hour late ...

The Celebrity Edge class ships have an amazing suite option. We have sailed in a Sky Suite (twice) and the cost to benefit ratio is super. You pay more than a regular cabin but not nearly as much as with some other lines. The ship-within-a-ship concept is real on these ships. As part of your fare, you get extra amenities and well-equipped cabins. The exclusive Luminae restaurant is fine, but the ...

We chose the Celebrity Apex September 1, 2022, sailing from Amsterdam, to explore England, Ireland and Northern Ireland. The original itinerary included a stop in Dublin, which was removed from our itinerary rather late in the game. We decided to take the cruise anyway, with an added stop in Portland/Dorset, UK. The ports were fabulous, and we mostly did non-ship shore excursions. The two ship's ...

We had originally booked this cruise in 2019 for a 2020 sailing. At that time the ship was Reflection and we were going to St Petersburg. We missed out on St Petersburg but we gained the Apex, a beautiful ship. I have been on a Millennium class ship before and I really like the Apex. The Apex has a different layout which feels more intimate. Some of the old favorites remain; the martini bar is ...

Ship and decor Beautiful ship with nice and interesting corners and venues. Lots of new design elements, some of which though are bordering overly done. The main atrium, although at first very impressive, does not work as a heart of the ship, or place to meet. The Eden is a nice big area to relax, listen to music and enjoy the view thru its huge glass walls. . Entertainment The main ...

This may have been the first near-capacity cruise that Celebrity Apex has had since its introduction and unfortunately it showed. The crew, though friendly and professional, appeared to be stretched thin. Service was slow in the MDRs and the food in the main buffet was below par. The biggest issue was the fact that Celebrity did not enforce the Covid rules they said they were going to ...
