This itinerary looked very good on paper. The reality did not quite live up to the billing. We have cruised with Celebrity before in the Mediterranean and had a very good experience. In addition, we have sailed on the Apex before in the Caribbean and enjoyed the experience. We are far from cruise virgins.
Our infinite veranda room was very nice and the service more than adequate. The dining ...
Iceland was the reason for selecting this cruise, that and being on the new Celebrity Apex. We went on the Celebrity Edge in December 2018 and loved the ship so this was an easy choice for us. This was our 65th cruise and our 18th on Celebrity.
We thought the cabin decor was beautiful on the Edge and it was so on the Apex. On the Edge we had a sunset veranda but on the Apex an infinity veranda ...
Iceland was always on my bucket list and Iceland did not disappoint. I highly recommend visiting this unique company.
What was a disappointment was the cruise. The design of the ship is such that you need to book a suite or penthouse in order to see the amazing scenery looking forward. In the past, ships we have travelled on had a bar/lounge at the front of the ship up top for unlimited ...
The title of this review will be explained later, and it has nothing to do with hygiene. For identification purposes my wife and I have been cruising fairly regularly for the past 20 years. We are “older,” fairly healthy, we prefer taking the stairs to riding the elevator. Celebrity has been our favorite cruise line since the start, but we have also cruised on Princess, RCL, Holland America and ...
Ship was an Edge class. Boarding in Rotterdam looked like it would be painful, but was remarkably easy. The ship was very clean and we were accommodated as there was an error in our room assignment. Our cabin had the infinite veranda with floor to ceiling windows. Bathroom was a decent size and very clean. Bed was comfortable. Gede was our cabin stewart and did an excellent job.

My husband and I took this cruise for our honeymoon and selected AquaClass with infinite veranda. We LOVED it and highly recommend this ship. Even though the cruise was fully booked, the ship never really felt super crowded. There are lots of neat spaces that we found during our trip. Our thoughts on a few areas people often ask questions on are below.
Infinite Verandas: I know these are very ...
Just came off the Silhouette after 12 day cruise. Overall it was a unexpectedly poor experience primarily due to the severe overcrowding, every cabin packed, including many families with small children. All cabins were booked, lots of cabins seemed to be filled with families with 1-3 kids. I realize this was school holiday period in UK so we expected some amount of kids, but we thought given ...
I start by questioning some rather negative reviews of Celebrity Silhouette which reference guests' demographic, number of children onboard, busyness of ship, over crowding etc. I don't believe this to be different to any other cruise ship (of a comparable class or equivalent 'passengers to space ratio'), having sailed myself on Royal Caribbean, P&O, Princess as well.
My family (me, my wife, ...
We chose this cruise as we had been impressed by Celebrity on a taster day visit we had done pre-Covid and because of the interesting itinerary.
We had been concerned about some negative reviews post-Covid suggesting standards had slipped. However, we got a decent deal with plenty of OBC so decided to press ahead. We were delighted that we did. The whole experience was first class, we could ...
A lovely ship. I had reservations on booking the Infinite Veranda room without an old style balcony but I was won over by the way the room opened up with light and space with this well thought out design. In reality this space is all you need.
Food wise the Oceanview cafe food was outstanding for the amount of food produced and the setting was well thought out. Sadly even with lots of washing ...
