Our voyage on the Apex was the second in virtually back to back tours on two very different cruise ships. We had just disembarked from a 10 night cruise of the Iberian and French coast on Oceania’s Marina which was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and set the bar somewhat high for our expectations of the Apex.
We spent a pleasant four days based in Amsterdam before the cruise experiencing ...
This was our 5th cruise with Celebrity.
The embarkation process was incredibly efficient and our best experience of it yet.
The ship was full (probably because of school half-term holidays - the children were very well behaved and no problem at all) and getting a table in the main cafe was always difficult for breakfast and lunch. The food at lunchtime and breakfast was excellent, although ...
Chose this cruise for the destination and believed Celebrity offered luxury cruises. We found this not to be the case. Ship was overcrowded, struggled to get a seat on several occasions and service was also slow at times. Ocean View Cafe at breakfast and lunch was so busy you could not find a seat, it felt like a factory canteen.
Cuvee dining, food was average, portion sizes small and ...
We traveled to Scandinavia out of Amsterdam May 2023. We traveled with 10 people total, including a two year old. Had one penthouse room and three retreat suites.
We had done NCL last October and did the Haven so we were thrilled about trying the upscale Celebrity line.
I’m never using Celebrity again. The food was so atrocious (except for the Eden).
The customer service including an ...
Hi I have done 10 cruises with other cruise lines but mainly MSC. I had to do this cruise to use up a deposit for a previous cruises cancelled due to COVID. So Celebrity is 5 star well I did not get that feeling at all and the shows by the entertainment crew were not really up to standard. I must add the acrobats and rope work we're good. Food was like any other cruise but the Buffet was ...
An absolutely beautiful ship with incredible staff. We were in Aqua Class and our room was beautiful. The King size bed, the linens, the turn down service and the fantastic shower. We had some initial reservations about the Infinite Veranda versus a traditional balcony but we found the additional space it offered plus the expansive opening glass area to actually be a great advantage.
I cannot ...
We were excited to try the new Edge class ships and while the service was top notch, the ship itself was underwhelming. I get what they were trying to do with the decor but it seems like they just didn’t follow through all the way in most areas.
We did appreciate the bathrooms in the cabins. They are a nice upgrade from the Solstice class. The rest of the cabin felt cold and like they stopped ...
Our fourth cruise with Celebrity and on the whole very enjoyable. The ship was kept spotlessly clean as was our or balcony cabin, deck 8 midships. Embarcation was extremely quick from exiting our taxi we were on board in less than 30 minutes. Our first port of call Oslo was lovely, warm sunny weather and a lot of the sights were walkable as we were docked in the centre of the city. The second port ...
This was my 1st time with celebrity. Was expecting my experience to be a cut above the rest. If did not live up to expectations in virtually all departments. I'll start with a positive:- our balcony cabin was a good size, clean and comfortable. Only complaint was from my wife that when underway there was mechanical noise which disturbed her sleep, personally it did not bother me.
Restaurant ...
We chose this cruise specifically for the itinerary. We wanted a Scandinavian cruise that included both Oslo and Tallinn. Both were highlights. This was the only cruise we could find that included both ports.
Our first time on Celebrity. Previously, we've cruised with Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Holland America. A bonus here was that we could transfer our Royal C. Crown and Anchor points ...
