This sailing was way too busy. The first two days of the cruise were sea days but after that, it was port after port after port. A saving grace was an overnight in Barcelona. I just wished the overnight was in La Spezia. The itinerary was a big blur as I tried to look back. * I booked a Suite Class room directly through CelebrityCruises.com. The website indicated in-suite espresso. I was expecting ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and because friends had recommended the Aqua Class cabins and dining room.
Positives: Comfortable cabin, very well maintained by our excellent steward, Leslie.
Ports were all very good and the ship schedule also.
Aqua class dining room a pleasure with excellent service and generally good cuisine. If your ...
Have always tried to stay on the small side for cruises, but this itinerary attracted us, so we gave it a try. Having experienced embarkation disasters before we were expecting the worst. Wow!! Walked right in and were directed to a line with no one in it. Walked right to the waiting area and barely got sat down when we were called for the bus to take us to the ship. Right on board. Ordered a ...
Chose this cruise as departure was from Dublin and although it was quite chaotic to check in it didn't take too long. The ship itself was quite disappointing as I was expecting much more grandeur (having previously only cruised with Royal Caribbean (6 cruises) and had always thought that Celebrity were a step up but I was very wrong). Although the ship was clean, and staff were mostly pleasant I ...
We are Celebrity Aqua Class loyalists and chose this 12 night, 8 port cruise because it ticked off many new places on our bucket list. The overall Celebrity experience was exactly what we value and expect: an overall classy product, very well-maintained ship, exceptional dining experience in Blu, and generally attentive service throughout the ship. However, the itinerary that sounded so great on ...
This cruise offered many ports we had not yet visited. Three cities in Ireland plus Liverpool (I am a big Beatles fan), Dover, Le Havre, Bruges and Amsterdam. Plus we got a great deal which included free drink package, free internet, paid gratuities and $300 in onboard credit. On the plus side the drink package covered all drinks (which I only learned on the third day when an attendant mentioned ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. Quite the selection of interesting ports and activities. I've been fortunate enough to have been on over 10 cruises and the cafe on this ship is the best by far......both in terms of variety and quality. We found the entertainment in the other hand to be somewhat limited. The staff was AMAZINGLY friendly and helpful ...
This was our 13th cruise and third with Celebrity. We sailed on Equinox in 2016 and Silhouette in 2013. Lately we sailed on Oceania and Azamara, and it was interesting to see how it would be to go from Oceania back to Celebrity.
So first, is Celebrity going down the hill as many posters claim? In our opinion, the answer is NO. We actually have seen some things improved compared to our previous ...
We chose this cruise because it was to the Norwegian fjords and departing from Dublin, hence no need for a flight as we live in Belfast. We travelled down to Dublin on the Enterprise train, which was great and when we arrived at Connolly station a taxi was easily obtained and only a short ride required to the dock. Embarkation was rather haphazard, however when we eventually boarded the ship it ...
This was a Back to Back cruise, from Dublin to Iceland on May 16, then Dublin to Norway on May 26. Celebrity runs these routes only a few times a year. Because of the weather, balcony and outside deck use was minimal, if at all. The only outside features that were used were the hot tubs.
The Celebrity excursions were double to triple the price of private excursions. In all cases, our private ...
