This cruise was our 7th on Celebrity and 40th overall. We prefer Celebrity because of the older clientele and the amenities that came with the booking. This included over $500 in on-board credit, complimentary wi-fi, and gratuities. Both of us are in our mid-70s and very fit for our ages. This allows us to use the stairs and avoid the often crowded elevators and walk throughout the port areas ...
First I want to say everyone that worked on the cruise went over and beyond our expectations. But the food in the dining room wasn't anywhere near 5 star. We were confused with 1 waiter 1 person to take wine order, 1 person for mixed drinks ect.... Never ever saw that before and made it hard to get drinks for everyone. With dinner at 6pm you won't be out by 7 for the shows. We did go the first 2 ...
Sailed on Celebrity Silhouette to southern Caribbean in January 2024. Stayed in a Sky Suite which included the Retreat experience. This made our cruise REALLY special! Luminae restaurant for breakfast and dinner as well as sea days was wonderful. Staff would get items that were not on the menu. Our suite steward had our room cleaned perfectly twice a day. The Retreat Lounge was so exclusive ...
I would like to start by thanking all of the kind souls here at Cruise Critic. You kept my travel desire going over the past four years with no travel, and the amount of knowledge that you share is astounding and selfless.
About us: Mike 57 and my wife 59 have been cruising, doing all-inclusive’s or other travel since 2000. Both my wife and I have tried to be honest with our feelings about this ...
We are long time cruisers; Norwegian, NCL. Royal Caribbean, Virgin, Holland America, MCS and this is our second Celebrity. First one on brand new (at the time) Reflection, out of Barcelona. We based our decision to do this cruise on THAT experience…bad mistake.
Food is horrendous, I’m not picky (at all), but 7 out of 9 dinners were a few bites and give up. Pastries at all venues are bland, ...
We just returned from a 10 day southern and it was really not the cruise that I expected. The Summit that we were on 12/2/23 was so much better. For one, the Summit did not nickel and dime us for drinks. The up charge on the Silhouette in Jan was ridiculous. The price of wine went up 3-4.00 a glass (you can buy the entire bottle at the store for less that a glass). Even the martinis, wines and ...
This was our fourth time on the Silhouette. We really enjoy the S class ships, especially the silhouette and reflection, as we love the lawn club grill. This was a 9 night cruise. We enjoyed the ports, have also been their multiple times so we didn't always get off. We were in a sky suite and like the fact that the ship was revolutionized. The retreat lounge was great, and as usual we spent a ...
By far the coldest ship we’ve ever been on, the air conditioning must have been at the highest level. All the bars and lounges were freezing, we saw people coming in and shivering and leaving again. The restaurant was so cold the food went cold very quickly. We were told it was centrally controlled and could not be altered.
The shore excursions were a disaster, some because of the weather which ...
In the pre-covid days we had a very nice Mediterranean Cruise on Celebrity Summit. It was one of their older ships but was in fine fettle, the crew were great, food and entertainment fine and the kids club was used by our (then) 6 year old granddaughter. So we decided to book our first "holiday" cruise - over Xmas and New Years - for 2020. Well, needless to say, that didn't happen. We used the ...
There needs to be a way for guests to see reviews of shore excursions. Took 4 and none were as described.
St Lucia: 4x4 Waterfall and Beach Adventure
This excursion from Celebrity was ok. Over an hour bus ride to a waterfall. Short walk to the waterfall. Saw local scenery along the way. Overall not a good use of limited time in the island.
The beach was along the highway. If you dont ...
