We took a cruise to celebrate Spring Break. We departed from Miami Terminal G. Upon first arrival in the terminal, the age and lack of cleanliness were apparently going to foreshadow the remainder of the trip. While everyone in the terminal was very nice, it just was not up to the Celebrity status that we have come accustomed to.
Our first stop was in Key West which did go smoothly. It was ...
The Good …
1. the staff were wonderful especially Angelyn, Leo, Gerald & Christanto!!
2. The ship is beautiful, especially the atrium & the main dining room. Alot of thought went into the decor & it look’s expensive.
3. our bed was so comfortable & the room was really nice. I know alot moaned that it was tired & due a refurb but we didn’t notice.
4. The food selection was really ...
Just returned from Far East cruise on Solstice. I have sailed with Celbrity a couple of times before and was happy with those cruises, so content to use them again. Solstice though is a ship in real need of updating and refurbishment as looking very dated and shabby in parts. Had a balcony cabin that was kept very clean by a great attendant (Jovie) and she also ensured we were happy with ...
Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
We had looked forward to this cruise for 4 years due to Covid. B2B North east Asia/Southern Japan. First impressions of the ship weren’t great, she looks tired and the interiors are pretty dated (although cabin was lovely). Staff were all, without exception, very friendly and attentive. Entertainment in our opinion was second rate and repeated word for word on the second leg. We expected it ...
We were on the Celebrity Constellation for the 9 night New Orleans and Western Caribbean cruise. We chose Aqua Class because we wanted access to the Blu Restaurant. We are 70+ with some mobility issues so we took portable rollators and didn't leave the ship at ports. We had been to all the ports several times and, because it's difficult for us to get on and off the ship, we chose to use it as ...
This was our fourth cruise with Celebrity in the past year. We knew before leaving that the Constellation had not been Revolutionized but still had high hopes. The ship is in good shape in almost all areas. The solarium pool area has many rust spots around the pool and overhead and broken windows overhead. The aft windows in San Marco dining room were horrendous. They looked like they had not ...
We have only sailed with Celebrity Cruises (6 in the last 10 years). It’s sad to see that post-Covid, despite investing in refurbishing their ships, they’ve taken away some of the things that made it a 5-star experience.
No longer are you greeted with champagne or a mimosa on entry. In AquaClass rooms, no more daily tea, fruit or canapés. I’m told that’s for concierge class now but AquaClass ...
After 22 Celebrity cruises it was an almost automatic choice.
We have always been delighted with the quality of food on Celebrity cruises. This time the food in the main dining room was mediocre at best and nowhere near what we were accustomed to. Even the speciality restaurants had lost any wow factor. As usual, all waiting staff were excellent but it must have been a challenge to stay ...
Celebrity Silhouette January 29 to February 8, 2024
Our goal was to get away from the cold northern states, and we mostly enjoyed very nice weather.
We booked this southern Caribbean cruise right after our first, very positive sailing with Celebrity. Unfortunately, this sailing was not comparable to our transatlantic on the Constellation.

We flew direct to FLL and stayed ...
