We had travelled on celebrity before but inAqua class. This time we had a balcony
The bathroom flooded twice and we were given a pamphlett not to put anything down the toilet that shouldn’t be there. I was annoyed as the blockage was in the sink and we put up with walking in a few inches of water for a whole day and no hot water in the sink either
We booked dinner at a set time then they ...
We chose the Edge for a special birthday cruise, as we wanted to experience the new Edge class ships after sailing many times on Solstice and Millenium class ships.
We chose a midship Sky Suite. This was a great location but we did notice quite a bit of noise in the cabin if we had a lot of sea movement, groans and creaks, not noticed on any other newish ship! Very loud at night and I’m glad ...
My wife & I enjoyed a wonderful cruise onboard Celebrity Edge, from Sydney to New Zealand and back, from December 9-21, 2023.
We had cruised previously with Silversea (2006), and had enjoyed seven cruises with Crystal between 2010 and 2019, but this was our first cruise on a ship with a capacity of more than approximately 1,000 passengers.
We were pleasantly surprised Celebrity Edge ...
We chose Celebrity Edge because we had cruised Celebrity before and this was Edge's first time to Australia. We were in awe of this amazing ship from the moment we set eyes on her. Embarkation in Sydney was quite straight forward and we were on board in less than 30 minutes. Many of the comments made previously did not apply on this occasion. for instance, gratuities were included in our fare, the ...
There were many things to recommend about the trip/ ship, but a few things you should know.
First, the good. The entertainment was pretty great. My cabin was just fine. The specialty restaurants had great food. The buffet was pretty good. The acupuncturist seemed excellent. A couple of the parties were very fun and memorable - like the one for crossing the equator - blackness all ...
We love Celebrity ships, always in Aqua class so we can dine in blu, always first class food and service, staff seems to have been given extra training in allergies, my wife has coeliac disease and staff were very good at keeping her safe from Gluten
As with all my reviews I like to keep things real and report on some big negatives on the cruise.
At the wonderful sunset bar there is no no ...
We chose this eleven night cruise as it suited two key elements, the first being it matced up with our vacation time and secondly it departed and returned from our home port Sydney Australia.
This was our first cruise since December 2019, so we were really looking forward to getting back to shipboard life.
Embarkation was very easy and smooth we had all the required documentation on hand ...
We recently went on a cruise to New Zealand which included stops in Dunedin (Port Chalmers), Christchurch (Lyttleton), Wellington, Napier and Picton along with a day spent scenic cruising through Milford Sound, Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound – Fiordland. We had a great time. The cruise involved a total of five sea days, one as previously mentioned was scenic cruising. We were blessed with fine ...
We took this cruise with our elderly parents to show them NZ.
Things we didn’t like:
- smorgasbord situation in Ocean View hygiene post Covid questionable
- very American centric, catering for US customers as primary concern.
-Mainly American wine lists and menu options. Little local wines or cuisines.
-hard sell at premium restaurants - constant hovering over our shoulders ...
So I enjoyed the cruise, BUT I booked a year previously and checked with Celebrity and was told price included drink package and internet, BUT on boarding no drink package or internet. Apparently over the year Celebrity changed their policy from all prices include drinks to you can pay extra for drinks if you book the cheap seats!!!
Thus started out really badly, luckily we were classed as ...
