"Celebrity has never done evening entertainment like Royal, but this was a nine day cruise and there was only one theater production show – Broken Strings.Hopefully, now that they are back in the black things will go back in the other direction and we will certainly take another Celebrity or Royal cruise again in the near future with the hope that is the case...."Read More
To give you some perspective on my observations/opinions, this was our seventeenth cruise. We have taken nine cruises on Celebrity and eight on Royal Caribbean. We are fortunate to be able to sail in suites and on this cruise, we sailed in Royal Suite 6137. Our cruise prior to this was on Apex, also in a RS and the one before that was on Anthem of the Seas in a Star Class Suite. Therefore, I ...
We chose this cruise because it was 70's Rock and Romance with lots of our favorite performers & tribute bands. So much great music & something to do from 10 am - 2 am. We didn't really care about ports (Puerta Rico, Haiti & Labadee) so didn't take any excursions. We did get out & walk around in San Juan & Labadee.
Now to the ship: Cabin was the Conceirge (8095) with sufficient space but ...
Getting on the ship and to the room went very well. Noticed strong mildew smell and worked with staff and Concierge through various solutions. Ended up being lucky enough to switch rooms and the new is what this review is based on.
Tipping: 1st time with Celebrity and the lack of tickets meant I had to carry cash with money wasting away in my account. I was told I could do an extra tip for ...
The destination and cruise line drew us to this cruise. We are very fond of Celebrity cruises, and have wanted to do a Panama Canal cruise for a long while. We were not disappointed with this cruise! This was our first experience with a balcony, and as well in Aqua class, and we loved it. The benefit we most enjoyed with this category was dining in the Blu restaurant for breakfast and dinner. We ...
My sister and I shared a bedroom while we were growing up, and had a crap relationship, so imagine my delight when we shared a smallish cabin and got along swimmingly.
Firstly, I want to thank my sister Nancy and all our Trivia buddies (Kevin, Roger, Rodger, and Richard) for enabling us to capture the Celebrity Gold Metal for progressive trivia. We did, however, tie with an English couple. ...
This was a wonderful cruise! The age of fellow cruisers was a bit older than I expected and found that I was in the young crowd at the age of 50. The fellow cruisers were a great mix of people from around the world. So many interesting and fun people on board. Many of the stops were a first for me and the transit through the Panama Canal was very interesting. I would definitely recommend this ...
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 ...
Most of critique is placed under cabin. We liked some features of this ship, but in general did not like it and will not return. The least of it was the heavily accented personnel with limited English who manned the telephones in CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The sea days were good but we have grown to expect more than one lecturer and some stimulating topics. We greatly enjoyed learning about emeralds ...
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 ...
We took the cruise to fulfill a desire to transit the Panama Canal. Crew was very courteous and attentive to our needs. Our cabin was clean and efficient with a balcony to sit and view what was happening outside. We broke Aqua class and got some nice perks - special dining, access to Persian Garden Spa, and other nice things.
Main Dining Room (Terrace) was too crowded and noisy for our ...
