This cruise catered to the retired folks so if you are retired and enjoy oldies music and a slower pace this cruise is for you!! My husband and I are in our early 40's and we took this cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We have done several other cruises and this one ranks near the bottom of our list. Felt very "nickeled and dimed" - everything extra came at a cost (ie. no iron ...
Chosen for the itinerary Panama Canal.ship was clean and comfortable, cabin was adequate size kept clean by fevon who was pleasant and unobtrusive.Service in trellis restaurant excellent sommelier vergie was excellent, food was ok cannot say it was outstanding it wasn't, very small portions which was ok because plenty of food in ocean view if needed. The food here was a lot of stews and curries ...
Loud type of music spoiled the atmosphere for us. It seemed just noise. Most of the crew was pleasant but some were just there. Specialty restaurant service was better than the food. The $18 above the regular added price for dry aged prime in Toscana was very tough as opposed to the very tender prime rib in the regular restaurant. Our waiter in the Trellis restaurant was the best and so we ...
The ship is older and actually just looks "tired". After having experienced S Class Celebrity ships, we don't like the buffet area very much. We have been told the BLU restaurant is changing the menu which is wonderful news. This trip was very expensive for the value received. Enrichment series of talks was very good. Service on the ship was outstanding. The food in the buffet area rarely ...
WE wanted a full transverse of the canal and had had excellent prior experiences on three Celebrity cruise ships. While the ship's personnel did everything they could to make us happy, the ship itself was, in the apt words of a fellow dinner guest, "a little bit tired". And overcrowded, or so it seemed at every breakfast and lunch, and while attempting to find deck chairs in the pool and other ...
The panama Canal was fabulous. This was certainly a bucket list trip. I wish we could have heard the speakers on the ship. The entertainment in the Celebrity Lounge was horrible. The last day I was getting a salad at the buffet the staff literally started pulling items from the line as I was dishing up my food. Could they not have waited until we were done getting our food. I had expired or ...
Four years after last cruising on Celebrity Infinity we returned for a 15 night Eastbound Panama Canal Cruise. Clearly the entertainments management has changed in that time as loud music is now played at all time in all public rooms and on all outer decks throughout the ship. This becomes very tiresome when the only place that is quiet is the cabin. That cabin, (2153), was comfortable and very ...
Embarkation was fine. Our cabin was a forward balcony cabin and was fine. Room steward did excellent job. Room service very disappointing though compared to solstice class ships. We are elite and happy hour between 5-7 pm up in the Constellation was great with great service. Select dining on this ship was a bit of a disappointment though. We ate at different tables for 2 every night until ...
We choose this cruise mainly for the transit through the canal and the great weather. The cruise was booked approximately 2 years ago when suite guests still received two complimentary specialist dinning with we used in Qzine. This apparently has now been taken away unless you booked the very top suites? We used Qzine three times with the food being great on all occasions and the staff were ...
This the first millenium class ship for us. All our Celeb cruises have been Solstice so far.
Boarding long winded as there were only a few cameras and these required a long waiting line. Where are cameras, one per check in desk?
Had the classic drinks package and for the first few days had issues with bar staff not knowing what an Alabama Slammer was, including some rude attitude by the ...
