Celebrity Harwich Cruise Reviews

We are frequent cruisers, mainly on RCCL, Princess and Celebrity and this was our thirteenth cruise with the latter. We chose it because of the itinerary (The Faroes and Shetlands ) but, unfortunately, the weather let us down - but Celeb can't be blamed for that. First the good points: we are elite members and again were very happy with the programme - in particular breakfast in the SS United ...

Background:   This was one of our over 30 cruises we have been on. 2nd cruise with Celebrity. We have taken two previous cruises from London. The first was a British Isles and Baltic combination cruise. The second one was a Baltic/Russia cruise. Cruising is a passion of ours. We did not bring our kids on this one. There were just about 240 kids on this cruise. Pre-cruise: We left from Atlanta, ...

The "cruise" was just great. Itinerary, pacing, ports - and weather [WOW!]. Fellow cruisers were a delight, including those we met via the CC Roll Call. But the "onboard experience" on Infinity was just OK. Spouse and I had sailed on Galaxy years ago and wanted to try Celebrity again. We agree that Celebrity just isn't us. And that Celebrity isn't what it thinks it is - at least as we see it. We ...

My wife and I sailed the British Isles and were welcomed on board the Infinity by a photographer taking our picture. That was the first of MANY scenes when there was someone present to take your photograph. You almost had to push them aside and it became annoying. Others on the cruise had the same experience. Overall, the cruise was wonderful. The food was great and well prepared. The staff was ...

It was very clear from day on on our dated and untidy ship, that money was needed to be spend on maintenance of many area, from the seating at the pool to the carpets and buttons in the lifts. We felt that perhaps this was an older ship so hey, let's not get excited with that. It was what happened every where else that was concerning me. The staff were not happy at all. I saw on three separate ...

It is dangerous to advertise with a fine-sounding slogan ... It's dangerous if a cruise company does not keep its marketing pledges and thus attracts its guests with empty promises of a ship. "Modern Luxury" is known to be the slogan of Celebrity Cruises, and that´s what it was from the beginning to the end of our last cruise on the Eclipse: We felt well-cared in every dimension. And then we ...

Celebrity Infinity Review 4 July 2014 There was a lot of negativity about the Infinity in recent Cruise Critic reviews, so much so that we were a bit apprehensive about our trip. We needn’t have worried! The sun shone, the ship was clean, the food was marvellous and the crew were as friendly as ever (this was our third cruise with Celebrity). Boarding at Harwich was easy. We stayed overnight at ...

How great to return from a trip w/ the feeling that my expectations were surpassed! The ship was more than comfortable,it had a quiet elegance. The staff was beyond helpful- doing all they could to make the experience special. The buffets were sumptuous w/ interesting variety& the dining room food was as good & the staff was so accommodating. Entertainment in the lounge & the theatre shows were as ...

There were four adults in our party, staying in adjoining balcony staterooms (7192, 7194), in Concierge class. We all have cruised before on several other cruise lines, and so are familiar with the environment. Overall: The onboard experience was a disappointment. There were too many issues that arose that should not have arisen, and when they did they were either ignored or not handled well by ...

Infinity is in great shape. If you want to find minor flaws you can, but none were distracting or bear mentioning. The crew is happy and responsive. Hotel department officers very visible while at sea and in port; navigation officers were busy going from port to port. Ship set up a Cruise Critic meeting for the first evening just after boarding (from 7:45 - 8:15PM) providing sparkling wine and ...
