Sailed on the constellation, last september, and found so much lacking this time. Dining: service not as good, did not pay attention to what i ordered. the meat was always dry. one night we had lamb and everyone after said it was chewy and hard to eat at all. Worst ever entertainment, only one show was really worth watching that was goronwy thom., the rest we saw last year nothing ...

This was about my 50th cruise 3rd with Celebrity, what a total waste of time and money, all of the content is in my opinion and not aimed to be slanderous in any way, this review is factual and was what experienced by my wife and our three children. Firstly our day in Istanbul was cancelled due to security risks!! poppy cock and the incident happened in Izmir some 50 miles away, would Celebrity ...

Disappointing Cruise

We've cruised with Celebrity before (on Eclipse) and loved it. Equinox is a fine ship, our restricted view balcony cabin was great (the view was only partially restricted) and the itinerary should have been fantastic. Unfortunately the cruise got off to a bad start as Celebrity decided not to stay in Istanbul. The stay in Istanbul was the main reason for choosing this cruise. The day before we ...

How low can Celebrity standards go?

We cruised for two weeks from Istanbul to Barcelona on 24th August. We were surprised at how Celebrity standards had slipped since we last cruised with them. We had a novovirus outbreak for the entire cruise but communication was bad and we had to rely on rumour which suggested there were up to 450 cases. Plates were dirty, cups were chipped and cracked and service was more akin to a Greek ferry. ...

Nice Sailing, Terrible Food

I want to give it a 3.5 if 3 is average and 4 is very good. After thorough researching I though I found a cruise ship with good food. I thought that with celebrity aligning themselves up with top chef and overall other friends of mine saying the food was not bad in the oceanview cafe, I thought it was be safe to assume MDR, and the pay restaurants would be great. After my first experience at ...

Our cruise in the Mediterranean was interesting, fun, and relaxing. We were impressed with the sparkling cleanliness of the ship and our cabin. The departure was handled satisfactorily even though there are apparently inevitable waits in line. (Couldn't check in be done by assigned times to limit the waits?) The meals were quite nice, lots of healthy options. The staff was always friendly ...

I have just finished reading several disappointing reviews of Celebrity Equinox European cruises. I must respectfully disagree! My family loved this cruise! My family recently took the seven night cruise from Istanbul to Rome and I must say it was fantastic! This was our fourth cruise but the first time with Celebrity. The Equinox was beautiful, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. The crew ...

Overall the cruise was very good. It helped immensely getting to know Cruise Critic Roll Call guests and small group tours organized before the trip, as the lack of entertainment and activities were apparent on this sailing. Compared to the extraordinary interaction between Guests and Crew aboard the Celebrity Century, this cruise was the complete opposite. The Cruise Critic Celebrity ...

Worst Cruise I've Ever Been On!

I have taken 25 cruises in my lifetime– about 1.5 a year since birth– and I had traveled with Celebrity about 10 years ago. I hated that cruise, and decided that I would try it again considering they have significantly improved. Well... that was a mistake. I would trade the $3000 we spent on this cruise for a $1000 Carnival cruise in a heartbeat because of how terrible it was! First, this ship is ...

I recently returned from a one week cruise from Istanbul to Rome on the Equinox. I have not been on Celebrity in awhile although this was my eleventh cruise on Celebrity. (BTW, I only have 330 Captain's Club points and am at Elite status needing over 400 points to the next level. Eleven cruises, one a 14 day cruise in the Penthouse suite and one in a Royal suite, never less than a veranda, ...
