Celebrity Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

We did a transatlantic in March 2024 from Tampa to Barcelona. We regret to say that, with a few exceptions, this cruise was very disappointing. The worst thing was the food. It became a real problem. To begin with, it was very very repetitive. After three days we realized that almost two thirds of the buffet was the same for lunch and dinner everyday. That might not have been such a problem if ...

The food in the dining room at times was inedible. The chef of 32-years with Celebrity did a presentation of the secrets of pastry making was charismatic but disclosed that he has overseen movement to buy some goods rather than utilize kitchen staff to make common dishes. Unfortunately this decision has destroyed the reputation for the quality of food on the Celebrity Cruise Line which is one of ...

This is our 5th T/A crossing and it was one we could without. Some people like this ship but to us it was old and dark, I mean that literally. Half the lights in main dining were out and never came on for the whole cruise. Also if you were seated on the second level your food was cold most of the time. Forget about getting someone to clean the mold in the shower and the cabin attendant forgot to ...

On a transatlantic cruise on celebrity apex. I’ve been on almost 2 dozen cruises. Celebrity was one of my favorites, Oceania being my favorite for bang for you buck. First my positives the food is delicious. The entertainment is great. Getting juice or pastries in the morning is extremely hard as they will stop at a table next to you and completely ignore you or stop by your table and giving ...

Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, the worst cruise experience we’ve ever had. We were booked into a Sky Suite on deck 11 and on the very first day I noticed a musty odor as we opened the cabin door for the first time. My partner didn’t smell it so I simply chalked it up to a typical ‘down south smell’ that you often get in warmer, humid ...

Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, a terrible disappointment. My 60th birthday celebration turned into an endurance exercise and we could not wait for it to end. Frankly the worst experience we’ve ever had. We were in The Retreat, in a Sky Suite. We had previously cruised in April 2022, on the Apex [Retreat - Sky Suite - Ft Lauderdale to ...

My wife and I just got back from a 14 day crossing (from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale 10/18 to 11/02) aboard the Celebrity Reflection and have some comments about our experiences. We have been on 64 cruises with 27 of them being on Celebrity. Our cabin: First of all the cabin had to be the dustiest we’ve ever had. When we got on board my wife and I noticed that it wasn’t clean, however, being ...

Transatlantic cruising is not for everyone… but as a bucket list for many. We have cruised 20+ with RCCL and Celebrity over last 20 years. Three cruises this yr - 2 on Celebrity and one on a river cruise. This is our 3rd cruise on reflection…and our last Positives- the staff. From the officers down to the crew- excellent performance Now for the not positive- 1) embarking and ...

Our first transatlantic and being elite passengers we were expecting a typical great cruise. First off the staterooms appeared war torn from the curtains (which I had taken photos of) which appeared worn and frail to the smeared spots of what may have been dried chocolate or lipstick. The shower drain was clogged on initially turning on to shower! Yuc h, but was addressed immediately by our ...

WE have sailed with Celebrity many times before and have previously enjoyed an excellent cruise. This is the first time sailing with them since Pandemic and wow, what a difference! The ship was only half full and that was the only benefit as far as I was concerned, no queues! Standards have fallen to an all time low with little or no consideration to the demographics of the passengers. ...
