Pool area no problem in finding seating.
Ports of call -great itinery and easy to master on your own
Both embarkation and disembarkation simple
The negatives:
Celebrity appear to be saving ...
The itinerary was the main draw for me. That is why I was so disappointed the we missed Rhodes. I realize w a man overboard situation compromises are necessary , but offering a second tour AT NIGHT with nothing opened an limited lighting was not really adequate ( and they threw in a dinner at a Rhodes restaurant for more than the original tour) Obviously it was done to fulfil the obligation of ...
You know, the thing is that we have been floating on this ship for over 3 weeks now.. with the best Captain, the best staff, pretty good food, an nice suite on the 12 th floor.
Love it.. but...but.. there is just one big thing that gnaws on me daily.
The Guy in charge of movies, sports etc. on tv.
So get this, 70% or more of the 3000 cruisers are from US. It is the middle of the football ...
This was our first cruise experience, and Celebrity did not disappoint. We arrived in Rome 5 days before sail date and explored all the city has to offer. We were travelling with friends and shared a private car (Blacklane) to the embarkation port, arriving around noon. Embarkation went very, very smoothly - barely took 15 minutes to get through the line, get our Sea Pass and board the ship! We ...
I chose this cruise because of the places visited and I was not disappointed. I have now been spoilt as I don't think any other cruise will give me such wonderful places to visit. I loved Sicily and our trip to Mt Etna and Taormina, and then explored the history of Malta and visited the old capital of Mdina. We had a beach day in Mykonos and did some shopping in beautiful Santorini. more History ...
Charter group cruise; and wanted to visit Mykonos etc. The ship was fine; compliments both to service, organization and especially the Buffet (great pastries in-particular).
Criticism for the internet service; although staff were somewhat understanding. Advertised as 'Fastest at Sea'; it certainly is not. Parent Company Royal Caribbean was faster and less overpriced (all are overpriced). Ship ...
2nd time on this ship, did a Caribbean back in 2013 when she was new. After trying pretty much all cruise lines, I liked Celebrity the best. Still good, but they are definitely cutting some more corners from the last time we used them.
We sailed Aqua Class balcony. Ship was clean, and beautiful! Staff was great for the most part. Embarcation in Civitavecchia was very fast. Arrived at ...
The ship was lovely, didn't feel at all crowded (although got quite busy in the buffet restaurant at breakfast). Everything in the main areas seemed good quality and clean. I liked how there were different bars with different feels (types of drinks, music/entertainment etc). I didn't like how 'gangs' of children roamed around the ship as if it was their private playground, running around, shouting ...
Our first cruise experience, we were looking for a relaxing holiday, excellent food, an interesting itinerary, activities to keep our 14 year old son happy, and a great way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
The ship is amazing! The service from all staff was fabulous in t e staeroom, dining room, bars and security. If only Guest Relations were as good! We had a small problem with ...
We last sailed on Reflection five years ago so knew what to expect and we had done the Italy and Greek islands itinerary a few times before. Malta was the exception and one of the reasons why we went back to Celebrity instead of our preferred line Princess.
We were pleased to find the ship in very good condition as it was relatively new when we first cruised aboard it. The officers and crew we ...
