Infinity was the only ship visiting the ports we wanted to explore. It was a wonderful cruise to discover Spain and Portugal and much better than the train or flying. For an older ship, Infinity is still lovely! Yes - she needs to be refurbished - but I love the older style. Would hate to see them change to a sleek, modern decor. We stayed in a Celebrity Suite (which we loved) and enjoyed all ...
We chose this itinerary because we have a cousin that moved to Portugal. She joined us on the cruise with her husband. Thanks to the great app it was the easiest embarkation we’ve ever had. We downloaded our pass, picked a time, and got on very quickly. Our room attendant (balcony room), Dennis was extremely kind and helpful the entire cruise. Our room was always clean and if we needed anything he ...
Have sailed 7 plus times with celebrity on The Silhouette, The Reflection and the Beyond. Have always been impressed with the cruise if not the Customer service which is NOT fir for purpose. however this time I have realized the changes made by the new CEO on 15.08.2023 have made this frankly a poor class budget cruise line with high end prices !!
The first and most alarming issue was that the ...
So here I am in my $17,000 stateroom. First thing is the system won’t allow me to access my premium WiFi. It’s included but obviously not properly programmed in the system. Have to start my vacation waiting in line for a retreat host to fix it. Why not just fix the programming? Then I come across filth on at least two surfaces in the room, both looking suspiciously like dried blood. The container ...
My wife and I just got back from a 14 day crossing (from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale 10/18 to 11/02) aboard the Celebrity Reflection and have some comments about our experiences. We have been on 64 cruises with 27 of them being on Celebrity.
Our cabin:
First of all the cabin had to be the dustiest we’ve ever had. When we got on board my wife and I noticed that it wasn’t clean, however, being ...
We decided to cruise to Florida from Nova Scotia this year instead of flying. We flew to Bergen, Norway and cruised on the Viking Venus to Barcelona, Spain. After 5 days in Barcelona we boarded the Celebrity Reflection to Fort Lauderdale. We had a bad experience on the Reflection a few years ago, so i was reluctant to go on it again.
This time was different. The ship was immaculate, the food ...
Transatlantic cruising is not for everyone… but as a bucket list for many.
We have cruised 20+ with RCCL and Celebrity over last 20 years.
Three cruises this yr - 2 on Celebrity and one on a river cruise.
This is our 3rd cruise on reflection…and our last
Positives- the staff. From the officers down to the crew- excellent performance
Now for the not positive-
1) embarking and ...
This was our 6th transatlantic, the 1st on Celebrity with the others on RCCL. It was a more northerly crossing than we are use to so we expected it to be a little rougher and cooler. It met those expectations and more with it being generally cloudy on most sea days.
Entertainment - with these T/A's the cruise lines typically brings in top notch performers and they (like the guests) are ...
My husband and I have been on other cruises but this was our first experience with Celebrity.
Overall it was a very enjoyable cruise. I want to give kudos especially to Dave & Angela Clarke and their entertainment team who all worked exceptionally hard but also made it look like fun while doing so. A shoutout to Luca in particular whose stretching classes we attended each day. He was absolutely ...
Celebrity has positioned itself as a premium cruise line, but candidly, I'd put it on the same level as RCCL, NCL, and a little above Carnival.
Dining - My main concern relates to the quality of fare in the main dining room. The food was well prepared for what it was, but there was a lot of chicken and beef on offer. Unless it was offered on a night when we were in a specialty restaurant, ...
