We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
We were looking forward to our first time sailing with Celebrity having previously tried P&O, Ambassador and Cunard (mainly TA on current QM but 1 med cruise on current QE) On TA crossings several people we've spoken to have commented that Celebrity's food was much better than Cunards so we were especially looking forward to the dining. We've always enjoyed the food on Cunard and found Ambassadors ...
We've cruised before numerous times with Celebrity and have been on Summit before. It's really gone downhill. The ship is old and tired, there is rust everywhere, many of the areas need repair and repainting. All the niceties for a premium cruise are gone. Batheoom and Spa changing amenities are just basic now. No cotton buds, cotton wool, body lotion etc. Hard selling on the first day was ...
Our reason to cruise Celebrity was that we have previously had a good experience with Celebrity and the ports were fun places.
Unfortunately, lots of disappointment. We hold Elite status in Celebrity and Diamond Plus on RCCL, with about 30 cruises overall. Let’s start with the app…. It did not work for the safety briefing! Cut backs in bar staff is very poor business decision. We waited ...
Chose ship for itinerary and heard good things. Crowd was tame. Very few children. Used to more rowdy crowd, so this was nice. Dining room choices very bland. Not much fish offered. Desserts were lousy. Only good desserts were cheese cake. Desserts in buffet missed the mark every time!!! Carrot cake tried 3 times, where was the cream cheese in the frosting?? Chocolate dessert in dining room only ...
I chose this cruise with my husband to see the fall in New England.
It was supposed to be a relaxing time.
However for some unfathomable reason that no one can explain to me. They play music down the corridors all night long. I have complained.
This keeps me awake or indeed wakes me up. I have tried wearing ear plugs.
I accept I am a light sleeper but still not logical for music ...
Mostly the itineraries and the port being so close to home! Every port was amazing especially Quebec City and the added overnight due to the hurricane! Excellent choice to keep us safe! We also had the best Cruise Director ever Manuel I don’t think he ever sleeps he was truly the greatest of all our 60 cruises. We also enjoyed every show very different each evening Karen Granger was a gem! Brandon ...
After around 20 cruises, this was our first Med. - and our last. The Silhouette which we had been on twice before was very crowded, I believe the passenger capacity has been increased and it showed. Full sunloungers, extremely difficult to get a seat in the evening and constantly running the gamut of the numerous motorised scooters - not wheelchairs I must add. More smokers than I have ever ...
A little bit about ourselves first. Me and my husband are seasoned cruisers, approx 20 so far with the last 8 being on the s class ships. We travelled with my sister and brother in law - cruise virgins.
Embarkation was a breeze we were on board by 11.30, no long queues, checked in at the muster station and then dropped off hand luggage in our staterooms. We had adjoining staterooms deck 8 just ...
We chose this cruise for its itinerary, our Steward, Waiter, Assistant Waiter and Sommelier where brilliant considering the amount of tables/cabins they had to cover, however they were let down by the choice and standard of food in the Main Dining Room, choices for starters usually 2 or 3 Salads 2 types of Soups and Snails and Shrimp Cocktail. Main courses not much better and frequently the food ...
