we had a great trip, enjoyed Italy, the Greek islands and turkey. got to spend three days in Rome before cruise, amazing sites the Vatican is a must in my opinion. we did the private before open to public tour with breakfast in the pine cone courtyard. Time well spent before the crowds! we used Rome Chauffeur from airport to Double Tree, to Port and back to airport, they were awesome, on time all ...

I am currently sat in the Cafe on the ‘Celebrity Beyond’. The third ship in the ‘Edge’ class of ships.
This is one of the most comfortable and stylish ships I have ever sailed on, subtlety improving on the original ‘Celebrity EDGE’ in so many ways, without making you feel lost in new features, or missing loved features.
With a much-improved sunset bar area, a new bar on the upper resort ...
Celebrity Cruises has been my go-to cruise line for the past 14 cruises or so. I find the service level, the dining experiences, the ambiance on the ships and the progressive and contemporary feeling of the cruise line to be most appealing to me.
This time I sas traveling with friends in a small group of four. Three guys in our mid 30's and one lady in her prime age turning 60 during the ...
We have sailed Celebrity just once (but have sailed with various other lines) and much prefer X. We were so ready after working all through the pandemic (not WFH) and we were, on the whole, not disappointed.
Veranda cabin (deck 6) was great, but both felt there was a lack of storage, particularly drawers. Meticulously looked after by our cabin steward.
MDR - tables for two are hard to come ...
We selected this cruise to be our first post-Covid Med region vacation (after a cancellation in 2021). Attractive itinerary starting from Civitavecchia IT (round trip) with visits to Greece, Croatia, and Montenegro over 10-days. At the time of the departure, some Covid protocols were still in place including the pre-cruise tests, and testing required for return flight to US. The return test ...
We have sailed Celebrity for many years and the main reason we are loyal to Celebrity is Service, attentive staff, courteous, ship is well maintained and visibility of Senior Officers and I love how all staff members greet you.
This cruise was good, but I noticed some of why I am loyal to Celebrity was not to the standard I am used to.
The staff in Blu was very nice, but they seemed to be ...
We chose this cruise as a way to go Europe. We thought it might be a relaxing way to start a 5 week trip. It did the job, although personally, we have decided that the TA cruise is better coming home than going to.
The checkin in Tampa seemed to be problematic - despite timed entry, we waited a long time outside in line. Thank goodness the weather cooperated, or it could have been a bad ...
We have taken several transatlantic cruises because we enjoy the sea days rather than many port days. We found the Retreat and Concierge services to be exceptional. We spend much of our time in our stateroom and on our balcony and this cruise and the accompanying weather was perfect for that. We felt that the live musicians in the Ensemble Lounge and in the Foyer were quite exceptional and ...
We chose this cruise as we are Elite members and it fitted with my time off.
Everything pre cruise was fine until 14 days before hand our room became magically unavailable! 2 days later we were allocated another room a deck higher which was ok.
Lots of sketchy e mails sent by Celebrity regarding ports of calls and changing itinerys and health regulations which was confusing and actually not ...
