First off allow me to be clear- I am not what you would call a cruise veteran. My only prior cruise experience was 37 years ago. Of course things have changed in this time. But I do not feel that changed for the better.
I am going to address the food first. The main banquet dining on Deck 14 had a huge variety, but the quality was pretty poor. I was rather shocked by this given the reputation ...
I haven't cruised in a long time, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I will say I was largely impressed with the experience on the Equinox and the good certainly outweighed the bad. I broke my review down into the good and the bad. All the "goods" weighed equally to me. The "bads" I listed from what I see as bigger issues down to more minor knits.
The good (in no particular order):
The ...
I think we spoiled ourselves a little when we booked this cruise. I was concerned after reading many of the latest reviews of her but honestly we did not have the issues that mamy have complained about, but maybe we have different standards. We had suite 1130 and the only thing I wish I would have known was that our balcony would always have light due to the staircase next to us.
We ate at Blu ...
We chose this cruise because it was an easy drive from the NE and we loved the itinerary. We have sailed with Celebrity many times but felt they missed the mark on this one. Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived 15 mins prior to our scheduled time and were able to get right onboard. We had completed the online check-in (which was very easy) and were able to get right into our room. This is where ...
Wanted to be able to drive to port and see Bermuda again so we chose this 7 day from Bayonne to Bermuda. Embarkation and debarkation went extremely smooth. Sent you to muster station as you boarded very quick check in. Dropped off bags and picked up sea passes. Started to explore ship and wanted to get a drink(non alcoholic) and noticed shortages right away. No diet soda or ice tea at the buffet, ...
1. directions to the terminal are clear ( you can find out at the entrance of port everglades which terminal is infinity)(you will be stopped at the port entrance to check your id)
2.embarkation is very smooth ( row by row , area by area)
3. went main dining room 4 times , food temperature is always right, each time only took me about 45 min to finish , service is quick
4.buffet station ...
We chose this cruise as friends had been on it
Before and said how good it was. Having done many previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, Princess, P&O, Carnval and the first ever withThomson (Tui-now Marella), I was expecting exciting things: believing that Celebrity were the 5* cruise line (out of the Carnival owned ships). Currently onboard and whilst aspects of the cruise are good, there are ...
This is only my opinion from being on this cruise compared to other cruise lines I have been on
Positives - ship was easy to board very efficient no problems occurred .
Staff as always there on hand so helpful and the long shifts they do they always have a smile and good morning/afternoon.
Spotless ship can’t fault the cleanliness and the space we had in a balcony suite
Negatives ( ...
We boarded Solstice with a group and looked forward to an amazing trip. While Alaska was fantastic, the ship was hardly adequate and there was little concern about service and food. We should have known it was an omen when we checked in at the pier for our Concierge Suite. The kid checking us in knew little about how to go about it. He NEVER asked for our negative Covid test and when I asked if he ...
This was the fourth cruise on Celebrity for my wife and me. We have been on this class of ship each time with Celebrity and like the cabins, ship amenities, and size. This was our second cruise with Celebrity this year after a Caribbean cruise in the spring. I had previously done the Alaska itinerary, but it was the first time for my wife. Due to the summer timing of this cruise, the ship had ...
