Our 7 dec 2023-6 jan 2024 celebrity cruise had a great itinerary and wonderful staff but, was a disappointment on many levels, especially when celebrity air left us stranded. so, with almost 20 cruises under our belts, several of them celebrity, and many more in our future, we will never cruise celebrity again.
Here are the details, starting with the positive: the 30 day south american ...
Why pay three times more for a cruise line that is no different than a mainstream cruise line? by cutting corners on food since the food is actually worse than MSC.
Limited entertainment venues, just the captain taking over the PA for an hour about navigation details no one cares about, just get us there!
The cabin TV's have limited selections with poor to no reception even when at ...
We went with 2 other couples that had lots of status on Celebrity. I did take a Celebrity cruise out of Puerto Rico 20 years ago and it was the best lines ever!! I've been across the Atlantic twice and on numerous other cruise lines. The whole trip was mediocre. Dining was confusing. We were waiting for the table to be cleaned in the dining room and the maitre,d gave our table to some other ...
I travelled with my mom on Celebrity Solstice (Los Angeles to Los Angeles) and it was our first and last time on Celebrity Cruises. What a huge disappointment!
We both have been on other cruise lines such as Regent, Holland America, and Oceania and we both were very disappointed with Celebrity. My mom has been on 50+ cruises and we booked this cruise for the convenience of being able to get on ...
Having sailed at least six times on NCL in the last two years, we ventured onto this Celebrity ship to try something different. Huge mistake that we will not repeat.
Two positives about this cruise: (1) The staff were generally pleasant and tried hard. (2) Embarkation and disembarkation is the fastest and easiest we ever experienced.
Unfortunately that's all there is to say that's ...
We paid a lot for this cruise expecting a truly great experience (Royal Suite). What we received was abysmal! Beginning with embarkation - we had to wait forever to get through the line (but should have been able to bypass it because we were 'suite' passengers. See below for ratings of our suite... The food in the designating dining room was good (Luminae) but the service was very, very slow. Food ...
The Celebrity Reflection Transatlantic 2014 cruise spoiled me. The Eclipse in 2019 woke me up. Food poisoning does that. I ate in the Celebrity cafe on the 14th floor. I was treated by the medical staff and once the ship docked in Santiago South America I received further treatment. My cabin 6212 creaked incessantly. This ship does need to be overhauled. The dining room experience was ...
first time I cruise with Celebrity, I was very disappointed. There were not enough staff in the dinning room and the buffet room. in the buffet, if no one serve you (usually), you have to put your whole head under the hood to reach the food at the back. Chicken was dry and beef was tough. desserts were even worse, tasted only sugar and flour. The foyer was so small with curtains around, only a ...
I'm in this cruise as I write this. What a colossal disappointment. I took this cruise over the Thanksgiving week to try and do something new compared to the traditional family dinner. Mistake.
Pros: rooms are more spacious than expected. Very easy embarkation process.
Cons: sad to say there are many....too much emphasis on upselling, tips, paying for a little extra. It completely ruins the ...
Sorry, i did not post this here sooner, i posted it elsewhere and forgot to post it here.
We have sailed the Infinity before-LOVED IT! We have sailed the Panama Canal before with Princess- LOVED IT! This time it was more of an ordeal than a vacation. We knew that off ship it would be very hot- but I recoup once in AC. But not this cruise since our concierge cabin was too hot most of the ...
