We chose this cruise because some friends were available and both our children were all out of school. We are usually loyal Holland America clients but have cruised Celebrity before about 10 years ago on both Solstice and Equinox in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. I was dramatically surprised at the drop in quality of the main dining. Celebrity once had an advantage on Holland in main dining ...
Our first post COVID cruise after two postponed attempts. Having cruised many times (mostly Royal Caribbean and Celebrity), we have pre-set ideas of what a good cruise should be.
Positives:
1) On-boarding and off-boarding was quick and easy. Our schedule to appear at the terminal cited 11:30 to 12:00, and we were having our first drinks at 12:15ish. On the last day we walked off and were ...
This was a quick 2-night weekend cruise meant to re-adjust Celebrity's schedule after a "rock and romance" charter. We took advantage of the low rates offered, but it seems Celebrity adjusted their service accordingly (more on the cons in a bit).
Overall Pros: As others have stated, check in was a breeze. Passengers consisted mostly of couples and some friend groups, spanning all ages making ...
We recently took a short, 2 day trip from Miami to the Bahamas on the Celebrity Infinity. Although its an older boat it was in fine physical shape. We were looking for a short, relaxing weekend. However, after a good number of excellent prior Celebrity cruises we were very disappointed. The food in the dining room was very salty. The food in the buffet was very limited in choice, rather ...
Where do I start? We really wanted to like Celebrity, alas it wasn't so. A little background about our cruising history: this was our 6th cruise on 5th cruise line, and first time on Celebrity. Other cruises were on NCL, Princess, RCL, and twice on MSC. We were looking forward to this short weekend cruise on Celebrity Infinity given Celebrity's reputation and accolades. We left thoroughly ...
Hi,
I have to tell you that my mother, myself, and my brother were all VERY disappointed in the cruise. The first night we spent over an hour and a half waiting to play deal or no deal and the game was cancelled. According to the first people we spoke with, we were told that not enough people had signed up. They stated 10-12 people needed to buy into the game so that it could be played. We ...
Where to start. The "guest" is treated like cattle on embarkation. Once inside the ship, their bars did not have the necessary items to create basic frozen drinks. This issue lasted all cruise long. No room service menu in cabin, broken phome in cabin, incomplete room service orders. Cabins attendant did not ntroduced herself, we finally saw her at the end of the second night by coinsidence. Not ...
The cons: We chose this cruise because I read that there aren't many children on this cruise, however, there were about 40% whining, screaming kids. Also the caliber of passengers was shocking -- i.e. women dressed like strippers at breakfast, etc. Other things I did not like were: most of the activities were based on sales pitches, i.e. selling diamonds, whiskey, wine, etc. Nothing that ...
We have sailed many times with Celebrity on the Solstice class and always have a great experience. Unfortunately, Infinity did not live up to the usual level of service on our short weekend sail to the Bahamas. It is really a loss for the guests and for Celebrity. As past guests, we were excited to see this short itinerary of two nights out of Ft. Lauderdale. We hoped it could be something we ...
Picked this cruise because it was cheap and in the past Celebrity’s performance was good I thought the food in the Main Dining Room was mediocre and the selection limited. Very disappointing. I also thought it was poorly maintained with cold showers most nights safes that didn’t work because of dead batteries, flaking paint, mold in the bathroom, We also thought that the Captain’s Club ...
