We have sailed on multiple ships but never Celebrity. We had heard such good things about their ships and service that we were excited to choose it to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. This was a very big mistake. The ship is very old and has not been updated. There were holes on the decks where it had rusted through. The lifeboats had not been tested since 2019, as noted on the side of ...
The crew, including restaurants, bars, people who cleaned our suite, all were extremely friendly and efficient. We loved them! They went out of their way to make us happy and comfortable. The bartenders in the casino immediately learned our drink preferences and made us drinks as soon as they saw us.
The wait staff and sommelier in Luminae were amazing, too. They were attentive and ...
This was the first time on Celebrity. We usually cruise on Royal Caribbean. It is always great to cruise! We cruised this time because our Tour Planner got us a great price. We both enjoyed everything on the cruise. We used the ship excursions because of Covid although we discovered that we could have gone on our own. The only area that we were dissatisfied was the evening theater entertainment. ...
10 day cruise out of Tampa. Left a day early, stayed @ Ramada Wyndham (free shuttle from airport) For this cruise we choose Concierge class balcony, & Premium Beverage package. Embarkation was the smoothest we ever experienced, they had plenty of staff guidance. We had downloaded the Celebrity App beforehand, and completed the check-in process ( including uploading proof of vaccination & a ...
I say the best cruise ever since I have been on 50+ cruises both with my hubby (who has gone on his permanent cruise) and alone. This ship and staff and crew were so exceptional that I had to write this review to acknowledge every person that I had interacted with and the passengers as well. Even though this ship is an "oldie" (and so am I) she still had much to offer.
The food on the buffet ...
You get spoiled real fast as there are 800+ crew on board. It started when my cabin was changed at gate from deck 7 to deck 9. I didn't like new cabin so I went to service desk once on ship and asked for another cabin. There were at least 50 same day cancellations so knowing where rooms were I asked for and received aft corner family suite keeping my C1 status. Very nice! It got better from there ...
As veteran cruisers (45), this was an exceptional experience - not to be forgotten. The upbeat & energetic staff took the "extra mile" servicing all passenger needs & concerns. GREAT STAFF!
This 20 year old vessel, whilst in good condition, is in need of refurbishment. (a) Notwithstanding replacement of normal infrastructure wear & tear. adequate electrical and electronic interfacing is ...
This was my 48th cruise, my husband's 46th. It was our 18th Celebrity. We've cruised on eight different ocean cruise lines (two are defunct) and three different river cruise lines. The first Celebrity we took was a 14-day on the Baltic on this same ship, the Connie, in 2008. Until we cruised on Crystal in 2015, Celebrity was our favorite line. Now it's our second favorite, behind Crystal. We feel ...
Never having cruised before, I chose this cruise for the itinerary and the positive reviews of Celebrity that I had read. On the whole I enjoyed it but there were some negative points too. Below is a summary of our views:
GOOD:
-Staff on the whole worked very hard and were friendly and courteous. Our cabin attendant, Barbara was delightful and couldn't do enough for us. Alex (Concierge ...
My wife and I are frequent Celebrity cruisers (14 cruises), but we had never taken a cruise less than 7 days. We were looking for something to do over Easter weekend and decided to do a short cruise and try Celebrities new Suite experience. While we have booked suites in the past this was our first with the new program. The suite only dining room ( Luminae) was intimate with outstanding food and ...
