Celebrity Europe Cruise Reviews

We chose this 7-night cruise because we had always wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords. Embarkation at Southampton was fairly quick - after our vaccination certificates and health questionnaire had been closely checked. Passengers were not obliged to wear masks, except in the theatre, and only a few did, but every crew member was permanently masked, and sanitisation dispensers were all over the ...

This seemed a nice short cruise to reassess cruising after covid we booked this when things to look a little better in October 21. We watched reports on cruise critic about customers experiences while coming over tha Atantic. Report about COVID were worrying and we were very tempted to cancel and change to another date but due to our other holiday and travel plans were unable to find a ...

I chose Celebrity as I had heard so many good things about it so I was really looking forward to it after having had many fabulous cruises in the past with different lines. I was shocked on arrival to find a long wait to embark. It was about an hour and a half shuffling along slowly with the most enormous line of people. A member of staff I heard gleefully telling everyone they "didn't need ...

Chose this cruise as our 1st return to cruising since the start of the Covid pandemic and Celebrity had always rated highly with us previously. Unfortunately on this occasion they let themselves down even before we sailed. It was almost impossible to get in touch with anyone at Celebrity when we had queries. The hours spent waiting for the phone to be answered were unbelievable. Information ...

We have cruised happily and quietly on RC Independence, at least 12 times, we liked the layout and the shopping mall, where one could sit and relax. But we thought time for a change. We knew there had been Covid on the transatlantic Silhouette trip, coming over to Southampton. Outside the terminal, we were told to get to the back of the queue (around 20 people), we had always walked straight to ...

We chose this cruise as it was a nice introductory length after lockdown and because we have sailed with Celebrity several times before, we would not be too far from home and the itinerary was good. However in our opinion some things had deteriorated on Celebrity, namely the quality of food in the Grand Cuvee restaurant which was not consistent, and also the speciality restaurant Tuscan Grille ...

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 ...

Why did we go? To cruise again & for some sunshine. Paperwork dealt with, excellent coach service to port with Evesway, embarkation smooth. Delighted with space in our Accessible Concierge cabin, no. 1028. As expected a bit bumpy thru Bay of Biscay. There had been changes to whether we might/not explore Canaries on our own by bubble prevailed. Those who hadn’t booked cruise excursions ...

We chose this cruise as we are Elite members and it fitted with my time off. Everything pre cruise was fine until 14 days before hand our room became magically unavailable! 2 days later we were allocated another room a deck higher which was ok. Lots of sketchy e mails sent by Celebrity regarding ports of calls and changing itinerys and health regulations which was confusing and actually not ...

I am reading in astonishment some of the recent reviews regarding the way Celebrity has dealt with the current crisis and the complaints and remarks made by some people. I was beyond excited to be ‘back aboard’ and especially my favourite Silhouette Was I disappointed that we weren’t going to Portugal? Yes Was it going to stop me going and have a good time? No Was the paperwork a ...
