Overall we had a great time. The crew, service, and ship condition were top-notch. There were, however, some disappointments.
Food: Portion sizes, unlike other cruise lines, are still ample. The Oceanview Cafe buffet is fantastic, especially the fresh-baked croissants, pizza and omelet stations. One notable disappoint across the ship is desserts. All the cakes start with a dry spongecake that ...
I can't say enough about the staff throughout the ship; always smiling, asking about your day and always wishing you a great day. The three staff directly responsible for our well being, room steward, waiter and his assistant, were all top notch. We booked all our shore excursion directly with Celebrity which was easy and efficient. The nice part doing that was they had staff on the pier to ...
We have cruised on multiple cruise lines and were very surprised and pleased with Celebrity this year. Most cruise lines are moving toward add-ons of upscale dining packages, drink packages, photography packages, etc. Celebrity did not pressure anyone at anytime to purchase additional packages and we found this very comfortable. It was available for you to choose, but no one taking pictures at ...
This was our 6th cruise with Celebrity and our 1st cruise on board the Millenium. My wife and I travelled with 3 other couples and we all stayed in midship balcony cabins.
We arrived to San Juan two days early to enjoy the weather and get back into vacation mode. Our last cruise was 3 years ago on the Summit. It was one of the last cruises pre Covid. We finally felt safe to travel this far ...
First time on Celebrity. I was with a group of 15. Also first time on a smaller ship. I loved it! Not so crowded. Never had trouble getting a chair around the pool. All of the crew were genuinely interested in my experience. Always smiling, always cleaning. Sure with a smaller ship there are less activities going on, but I did not mind that. Persian Garden spa was a delight. Food was ...
This is a mixed review. First before I got some facts about our sailing some general comments. We are Elite Celebrity cruisers and chose this sailing and ship as it was last minute and our options were limited. Sailing out of Puerto Rico was wonderful for us (or so we thought) as we spent two lovely days wandering Old San Juan and going to the Bacardi facility for a tour.
Boarding the ...
This was our 3 cruise on Celebrity, we sailed out of San Juan and went to 5 different ports, I wish we would have only gone to 4 but the one nice thing is when you are in port, if you choose not to leave the ship you can sit by the pool with out having to jockey for position on the deck chairs! Although people would snag a chair and leave there stuff on it for hours until they returned from port I ...
Beautiful ship. The food and service in all the restaurants was great. We especially enjoyed Le Petit Chef a Quisine. Our stateroom was ample and our cabin service was amazing. He really went out of the way for us! It was a nice group of people on board, very, very few children. On boarding and off boarding on excursions was much smoother than in previous cruises.
The only thing I missed ...
I chose Celebrity because I had taken the Millenium in Alaska 4 years ago and the experiences was over the top. I love cruising, as it's the only vacation where Mom doesn't have to lift a finger! I invited 3 of my gal relatives (and one who had never cruised before.) I guess the build up in my mind raised my expectations too high. I SO wanted my three sisters/cousins to become as enthused about ...
10 Day Cruise to Southern Caribbean in Jan 2020
- Daily buffets and nightly dinner were very good, as were the staff. Try the made to order omelets for breakfast stir-fry at night both are excellent. Ridiculous selection of baked items and desserts!
- The staff is super friendly, hard working, and very helpful. Outstanding service.
- The remodeled rooms and areas of the ship made it ...
