I recently had the unfortunate experience of cruising on the Celebrity Solstice, and regrettably, my overall impression is far from positive. The cruise was marred by a series of disappointments, primarily centered around the lackluster service and subpar amenities.
From the onset, the service on the ship left much to be desired. Rather than creating a relaxing environment, the staff seemed ...
Many years ago, while dining al fresco at a Rome cafe, I was startled by beggars going from table to table seeking money from customers.
Imagine the sense of deja-vu then, while sitting at lunch in the buffet, a staff member is walking from table to table trying to elicit attendance at the specialty dining restaurants.
This in some ways explains the culture of this cruise:

We were VERY disappointed with many aspects of our recent cruise from Dubai to Singapore.
From what I understand there has been a huge amount of negative feedback about many aspects of this cruise by other passengers on Social Media.
Boarding in Dubai
We arrived at the port just before 1.00 but didn’t board until around 5.00.
We got thru the Dubai immigration in less than half an ...
Booked this cruise to visit India and expected a luxury experience have paid more than £6k for the trip, which did not include the drinks package or any extras. From the moment i entered our room I was distraught. The room was old with tatty furnishings, curtains hanging on broken runners. Stained carpets and upholstery. Broken doors on cupboards and brown stained shower room. The worse was to ...
We have been on several cruises previously , although we have never travelled with Celebrity. Upon arrival our cabin was dirty with used dressing gowns under the bed and a contact lense, which neither of us wear on the floor. the bathroom was grubby . we had requested twin beds but the bed was double. i went outside and spoke to a staff member who said' you can easily separate the beds.' If we had ...
I choose to go on a cruise due to everyone saying what a great time and quality of food you get and as I am in remission from cancer I thought that this would be a great way to relax and be pampered how wrong can one be first the port we were told to get to was wrong we had to get a second taxi to the correct port then on boarding we were told that the lunch was in the ocean view restaurant but as ...
Chose this cruise because it visited a lot of cities I have on my to do list. But sadly this is like a hospital ship. Brothel red style rooms, hospital food (really really bad) and zero energy. Travelers of a certain age, which is the majority, seem to enjoy this hospital/nursing home ship, but if you are not 70+ yet i suggest you avoid at all costs.
The pools are kiddie pools, decor is ...
This is our 1st Celebrity cruise, but it was my 11th overall. Definitely did not live up to my expectations. Since the ship was refurbished, we expected it to be nicer, unfortunately it was such a disappointment.
Cabin: we booked a concierge class. heat was broken. it was so cold. We called service desk and no one picked up the phone, so we went down to guest service desk & it took them about ...
The name of the game here is from embarkation to disembarkation "SELL SELL SELL". Penny pinching and extremely bad value for money.
Travelled Aqua Class - very poor experience - services advised in this class did not happen!
AMENITIES:
Robe - don't other cabins have robes?
Wine Classes - never happened!
Hair Dryer - Don't other cabins have Hair driers?
STATEROOM ...
The Millennium is going in for a redo in January. It should have gone in already. Celebrity should never have sailed it. The ship is in terrible shape,the food especially at night in the main dining room is poor. From the salads to the main courses it tastes like they've been on the plate for a long time and just reheated. I have never sailed Celebrity before and won't again. We should all get a ...
