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 ...
Our cruise started off in Reykjavik, Iceland. Much of the info regarding this trip on the internet was wrong. Many writers said that to get from the airport to the center of Reykjavik was difficult. That was wrong. There are buses exclusively for transportation from the airport to the city center at approximately $30 pp. Others said that from the central bus stop to your hotel was an easy walk. ...
Note: we have been on this ship 2 other times with much better food experiences.
PROS:
* excellent staff
* fantastic cabin steward
* nice sized room for an updated interior
*very comfortable bed with nice sized flat screen tv
* small ship
* nightly entertainment in the theater was decent.
CONS:
* horrible food that made most passengers sick ( my husband got food ...
Not having traveled since 2019, we decided to move up to the Retreat class. A few weeks before the cruise, we were notified by the shoreside concierge to look for a specific location to drop our luggage and that we would be escorted to the ship from there. Well, when we got to the ship and asked for this drop off area, no one knew what we were talking about so we dropped our bags with one of the ...
This was our second Celebrity Cruise -- we had taken a wonderful Baltic cruise with Celebrity before Covid. This cruise, to the Canadian Maritimes, was quite different. The food was meh, the shipboard entertainment was Carnival Cruise level, and it was clear the ship was severely understaffed. Our room steward was terrific. And the captain did an amazing job of communications and keeping us safe ...
Many of the musical events were way too load. Mainly Zumba and the house band in the main foyer. There were many expensive stores but no place to buy necessities like ibuprofen, toothpaste, sunscreen etc. The free WIFI was pathetic and apparently the only way to make it usable was to upgrade for $200! The outside movie theater was not watchable. The ship was not fully booked, but the dining room ...
We bought a Celebrity package holiday to Canada and flew to Boston. We should have been met by a Celebrity rep at the airport to direct us to our hotel transfer. There was no one there and the tel number provided didn’t work. Although it was an airport hotel not that far away, we ended up walking with all of our luggage. When we contacted Celebrity they denied all knowledge of us having a ...
First the bad: to go to Bermuda we needed a travel authorization. Bermuda had the wrong date for our cruise and I had to call into Celebrity and get it corrected. Next, Bermuda was supposed to be our third port but apparently no one at Celebrity read that if Bermuda isn't your first port, you need to be re-tested for COVID. So I personally had to inform them and they changed the order of the ports ...
