COVID has pushed many services and business though the open door of technology. Check in was efficient and quick. The rep had a tablet loaded with the information we had added to the app while we were at home. We answered a few questions, presented our vaccination info and PCR test results and walked onto the ship. I think it took all of five minutes. The muster was conducted on the TV in our ...
red to cruise?? I had to give you my two cents…
We spent the last 12 days on a Celebrity cruise to the Caribbean. Even I had some doubts before we boarded. I have to tell you it was incredible and we felt incredibly well cared for and safe the entire journey.
I’m sure destinations matter… but every island we visited was over the top with safety. We were diverted from St Croix to St ...
We were in a Celebrity suite. The angled balcony with room for three lounges and a table and chairs 1618. Highly recommended. Only problem is getting in and out of bathtub. Very high ledge. Great room attendant and butler. They taped a towel over the bedroom window so I could sleep in darkness while my husband watched playoff games on ESPN. Luminae staff terrific. We often ordered a combination of ...
The three of us (my Mom, sister and myself) booked this cruise simply due to the fact that the past 2 years with Covid have been difficult and we needed a change approaching normality as much as possible in these days. Our stateroom was 1661 and we were Concierge Class.
First off, let's deal with the fly in the ointment - it deals with Celebrity personnel on the phones - Reservations and calls ...
This cruise was a replacement for our 14 night Japan which was cancelled and the funds had to be used before 2022. Although we prefer Europe and Med to the Caribbean 4 of the islands we had never been to. The Cruise Director Shayna from Canada was the best we have ever had on our 14 Celebrity Cruises as were her #1 assistant Nathan. Incredible energy and a staff that offered all kinds of games and ...
Embarkation went well enough that I had my first martini in hand at 1:00 at the martini bar! We were 11:00 which I thought was first group, but when we got there at 10:50 our line had been closed. Got in the 11:30 to 12 line and noticed they were checking people from other lines (yes, many people arrived way before their time) and letting them in, but no big deal as we all end up in the same ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted a pre-holiday getaway that was longer than 10 days. Since our 2020 cruises were all cancelled, this was our first sailing since the restart and the both the ship and the crew were fabulous! There were about 1600 - 1800 passengers aboard which made the experience even better (we were able to get a seat at the martini bar)! We were also fortunate that we were ...
After 2 years away from cruising, it was so wonderful to be back! I can't express how glorious it was to be back on the sea, and enjoying the luxury of Celebrity Cruises again. It is hard to say anything critical, because those criticisms are outweighed by the pleasures.
We had booked a cabin we love on Deck 6, but the morning of the cruise we were informed that we had been assigned a ...
This was our first cruise back since our shortened cruise of March 13, 2020. It was a 12 night Caribbean cruise. Celebrity did a great job keeping passengers safe and informed of the safety protocols in each port and before and after embarkation. The crew was wonderful and so glad to have us back on board. There were only about 1800 passengers on board and everyone was super happy to be sailing ...
My husband and I are from S. Africa and wanted to go to the Caribbean so we settled on Celebrity Equinox. This was in 2019 in December shortly before Covid hit the world. we did two back to back cruises on the Equinox and absolutely loved every minute. From the early morning gym sessions and jacuzzi, to the wonderful breakfast buffets (the French toast with orange butter and cream is to die for. ...
