We chose this cruise because of where Connie was taking us, we hadn't been to Colombo, Cochin, Goa, Mumbai, Muscat or Abu Dhabi. (We had been to Phuket and Dubai several times before).
After reading many reviews about Connie before, we really didn't know what to expect as there were so many conflicting reviews both good, bad and ugly.
So I've decided to write a review on our experience on ...
Chose cruise because of itinerary but also because of good experience of good previous Celebrity experience.
Great cruise. Singapore to Dubai via India. Our 3rd celebrity cruise but first on a Millennium class ship
Embarkation in Singapore very slow but disembarkation very efficient.
We had 2 nights in Singapore pre cruise and 2 nights Abu Dhabi post cruise in our cruise package from ...
Family of 4 in 2 ocean view balcony cabins. We have sailed on Connie before . The public areas are very clean and well maintained. The staterooms are showing their age, however very clean. She is booked for a refit later this year. This will put more life into this beautiful ship. The staff are probably the best we have sailed with. The food in MDR was a very high standard as was the buffet. We ...
Let's face it. A 14 day cruise from Shanghai to Singapore for under $1,000 is a no brainer. Thought the charge ($270) was quite high for WiFi. Shore excursions pricey. Drink packages expensive. Mandatory tips. Shops concentrated on very expensive items. But here's the deal. 14 days to fabulous ports and they are still charging what they probably charged for a cruise like this 10 or 15 years ago. ...
We have done many celebrity cruises and this itinerary was a good one for us.
Yes the ship is a bit tired but that did not distract from our enjoyment at all.
Cabin was A2 Aquaclass which was fine but we suffered from overhead noise at all times of the day and early mornings, but being under the pool deck what does one expect! Our cabin attendant Robert was fabulous.
Dining in Blu was ...
We have cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past, but decided to try Celebrity this time. We were not disappointed. From start to finish, we were delighted with every aspect. From staff, catering, entertainment ports of call and customer service, we finished our experience on a high and can’t wait to book our next one with Celebrity. Having a proper coffee lounge was a huge plus for us which gave ...
We liked the itinerary of this cruise and although we hadn't been with Celebrity Cruises before we thought we would give them a try. Abu Dhabu, Dubai and Muscat were such rich countries with new buildings and then there was Mumbai, Goa and Cochin, so dirty and poor! Columbo in Sri Lanka, Phuket and of course Singpore were all fantastic in their own way too.
People thought the ship was old, but ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and we enjoy Celebrity.
The ship is showing its’ age. It was kept very clean.The staff were helpful & friendly. In the buffet in the morning we enjoyed the beautiful voices of some of the staff. The buffet choices were plentiful breakfast & lunch. We had the same waiters each night for dinner and they were great. Food was very delicious and plentiful.They ...
We booked this cruise for the exciting itinerary. We were concerned after reading some previous reviews that the ship would disappoint. We kept out expectations realistic and were very pleasantly surprised. We loved the layout of the ship. We have been on 10 cruises and we prefer the older style ships as we feel they offer more space and a lovely relaxed feel. The food was very good at all ...
We chose this cruise as the weather in the Indian ocean is good at this time of year and the ports of call were new to us. Never having sailed on celebrity before, we had high expectations as it was not a large ship and entertainment reviews were good.
The entertainment was good , as were the helpful cheerful crew, however we were disappointed with the food choice in both the main dining and ...
