We were looking forward to our first time sailing with Celebrity having previously tried P&O, Ambassador and Cunard (mainly TA on current QM but 1 med cruise on current QE) On TA crossings several people we've spoken to have commented that Celebrity's food was much better than Cunards so we were especially looking forward to the dining. We've always enjoyed the food on Cunard and found Ambassadors ...
Mostly enjoyed our second trip on the Silhouette. Food and entertainment were great and staff very friendly and helpful. The staff member for our room he could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Unfortunately for the second time (we have only had two cruises!) we both contracted COVID which ruined the last couple of days (I was unable to visit Bayeux - the highlight of my trip). Upon ...
We toured on Silhouette’s sister ship Reflection last May and based on this experience and the itinerary chose Celebrity again.
At all times any staff we encountered were enthusiastic, interested and as helpful as we could wish for.
All breakfasts in any of the settings we tried were outstanding
During the cruise we ate dinner in Murano and the Tuscan Grill, both were ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chose Celebrity Silhouette as previously sailed on Eclipse several times.
For my wife and I this was a disappointing cruise in that the ship failed to deliver in many areas for us.
Embarkation excellent and very quick. Stateroom in good condition and well maintained by our steward Richard.
Balcony itself showing heavy rut marks though we could live with that.
Rooms are technologically ...
We chose this cruise as friends had been on it
Before and said how good it was. Having done many previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, Princess, P&O, Carnval and the first ever withThomson (Tui-now Marella), I was expecting exciting things: believing that Celebrity were the 5* cruise line (out of the Carnival owned ships). Currently onboard and whilst aspects of the cruise are good, there are ...
Cruise chosen to celebrate anniversaries and booked two and half years ago and delayed regarding COVID. Main reason was to sail to St Petersburg.
Embarkation was a dream with one thousand and fifty passengers. More crew than guests. From our experience we realised most of the crew were new with little or no experience of cruising.
We had a stateroom with balcony which looked dated but ...
We were surprised not be offered a glass of bubbly on boarding and this seemed to set the theme for the rest of the cruise. I have cruised many, many times with Celebrity. This one was so different.
The food in the main restaurant was disappointing at best, in fact it was poor. The quality, the choices, the temperature. Everything was just poor. Does anyone check the standards in the ...
We sailed on Solstice in the first season followed by Eclipse shortly afterwards. During the next 10 years we sailed on several other cruise lines but returned to Celebrity choosing it not for the line but for the ports of call.
Oh dear, what a surprise. The business model has changed with the line seeming to recoup its losses at the expenses of the passengers.
Gone are the usual shopping ...
