Celebrity has positioned itself as a premium cruise line, but candidly, I'd put it on the same level as RCCL, NCL, and a little above Carnival.
Dining - My main concern relates to the quality of fare in the main dining room. The food was well prepared for what it was, but there was a lot of chicken and beef on offer. Unless it was offered on a night when we were in a specialty restaurant, ...
My wife and I just got back from a 14 day crossing (from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale 10/18 to 11/02) aboard the Celebrity Reflection and have some comments about our experiences. We have been on 64 cruises with 27 of them being on Celebrity.
Our cabin:
First of all the cabin had to be the dustiest we’ve ever had. When we got on board my wife and I noticed that it wasn’t clean, however, being ...
We decided to cruise to Florida from Nova Scotia this year instead of flying. We flew to Bergen, Norway and cruised on the Viking Venus to Barcelona, Spain. After 5 days in Barcelona we boarded the Celebrity Reflection to Fort Lauderdale. We had a bad experience on the Reflection a few years ago, so i was reluctant to go on it again.
This time was different. The ship was immaculate, the food ...
Transatlantic cruising is not for everyone… but as a bucket list for many.
We have cruised 20+ with RCCL and Celebrity over last 20 years.
Three cruises this yr - 2 on Celebrity and one on a river cruise.
This is our 3rd cruise on reflection…and our last
Positives- the staff. From the officers down to the crew- excellent performance
Now for the not positive-
1) embarking and ...
This is our second transatlantic on Reflection. We like the age and grandness of her. We also enjoy being at sea. The crew are great. Our cabin steward Francisco couldn’t have been more accommodating. He was friendly and professional and always had time for us. A shout out to I Made as well. We bumped into him many times in the hallway and he was always friendly. Our food on board was very ...
My husband and I just returned from a 14-day Transatlantic Cruise aboard the Celebrity Reflection. I have to say that I was more than just a bit disappointed.
I am a Celiac Gluten-Free passenger and was assured they were able to accommodate. They were able to accommodate if I wanted to eat the same thing day-in and day-out, every day. The dining room menu is absolutely uninviting for the ...
Our first transatlantic and being elite passengers we were expecting a typical great cruise.
First off the staterooms appeared war torn from the curtains (which I had taken photos of) which appeared worn and frail to the smeared spots of what may have been dried chocolate or lipstick. The shower drain was clogged on initially turning on to shower! Yuc h, but was addressed immediately by our ...
I shall return to the reason for my title heading a little later in this review.
We had not cruised with Celebrity in twenty years (the last being on the Infinity in Alaska) so therefore not in their Solstice class ships, so it was hard to give a true comparison, except to say that by and large this cruise was great value for money!
Both pre and post covid, we have chosen to sail on the ...
We chose this cruise because of the dates/location required. Our inside cabin was just fine and saved a lot of money. One port was changed for another due to bad weather which was appreciated rather than another sea day. Lots of activities on the ship. We dont do the drinks or wifi package because of high price which I guess is normal on all cruises.
I was quite happy with the food but I always ...
I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...
