I shall return to the reason for my title heading a little later in this review.
We had not cruised with Celebrity in twenty years (the last being on the Infinity in Alaska) so therefore not in their Solstice class ships, so it was hard to give a true comparison, except to say that by and large this cruise was great value for money!
Both pre and post covid, we have chosen to sail on the ...
I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...
We were looking forward to our first time sailing with Celebrity having previously tried P&O, Ambassador and Cunard (mainly TA on current QM but 1 med cruise on current QE) On TA crossings several people we've spoken to have commented that Celebrity's food was much better than Cunards so we were especially looking forward to the dining. We've always enjoyed the food on Cunard and found Ambassadors ...
Mostly enjoyed our second trip on the Silhouette. Food and entertainment were great and staff very friendly and helpful. The staff member for our room he could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Unfortunately for the second time (we have only had two cruises!) we both contracted COVID which ruined the last couple of days (I was unable to visit Bayeux - the highlight of my trip). Upon ...
Picked this cruise because we wanted to go to Iceland.
First given a dirty room made to wait inside for 3 hours to find a replacement
Trips were expensive if the boat decided To stop somewhere
First port was tender badly organised took 5 hours to get off the boat
Then they started altering the ports ended up only half a day in Reykjavík and cancelling Guernsey.
Food wasn’t great ...
After many cruises with Celebrity this will possibly be our last. And I am sorry Celebrity but 40mph winds should not affect a cruise schedule. Since the Captain made the announcement of changes to the ships schedule and dropping Belfast many passengers have been complaining. Passengers from Australia, USA travelled many miles to visit attractions like the Giants Causeway and are now gutted that ...
We toured on Silhouette’s sister ship Reflection last May and based on this experience and the itinerary chose Celebrity again.
At all times any staff we encountered were enthusiastic, interested and as helpful as we could wish for.
All breakfasts in any of the settings we tried were outstanding
During the cruise we ate dinner in Murano and the Tuscan Grill, both were ...
We chose this cruise for its itinerary but just like three of the four celebrity cruises we have been on excuses we’re made why we had to miss a port of call . We feel they are becoming a budget cruise company at a premium price we found some of the crew disillusioned and not really bothered . We also found the food in the main dining room was well below standard with the quality and the choose. ...
We chose this cruise because I’d always wanted to go to Iceland, also another chance for celebrity to redeem itself after a very disappointing cruise round the Caribbean in February.
We have been loyal cruisers with Celebrity for years attaining Elite Plus status, sadly it’s time to say goodbye. It started with our balcony cabin, items from the previous occupants were left in the wardrobe. No ...
After my experience on the Celebrity Silhouette, the Celebrity cruise line has fallen to the bottom of my list. This is after more than 40 cruises on 8 different cruise lines.
At embarkation, a drink of water or lemonade was for Suite passengers only.
The Embarkation Lunch for Concierge Class passengers included a salmon filet that was overcooked, tough and chewy short ribs, a table for 2 ...
