We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
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 ...
We've cruised before numerous times with Celebrity and have been on Summit before. It's really gone downhill. The ship is old and tired, there is rust everywhere, many of the areas need repair and repainting. All the niceties for a premium cruise are gone. Batheoom and Spa changing amenities are just basic now. No cotton buds, cotton wool, body lotion etc. Hard selling on the first day was ...
We were first time cruisers, travelling with seasoned cruisers. The staff working on the ship were amazing and could not do enough to assist. We booked 4 trips through the ship, one of which cancelled due to safety reasons. We went to Cannes and went to Nice, Eze and Monaco. This was a great trip! We also went to Pisa! It was a trip that felt like it had been thrown together and left us with only ...
Our reason to cruise Celebrity was that we have previously had a good experience with Celebrity and the ports were fun places.
Unfortunately, lots of disappointment. We hold Elite status in Celebrity and Diamond Plus on RCCL, with about 30 cruises overall. Let’s start with the app…. It did not work for the safety briefing! Cut backs in bar staff is very poor business decision. We waited ...
Chose ship for itinerary and heard good things. Crowd was tame. Very few children. Used to more rowdy crowd, so this was nice. Dining room choices very bland. Not much fish offered. Desserts were lousy. Only good desserts were cheese cake. Desserts in buffet missed the mark every time!!! Carrot cake tried 3 times, where was the cream cheese in the frosting?? Chocolate dessert in dining room only ...
I chose this cruise with my husband to see the fall in New England.
It was supposed to be a relaxing time.
However for some unfathomable reason that no one can explain to me. They play music down the corridors all night long. I have complained.
This keeps me awake or indeed wakes me up. I have tried wearing ear plugs.
I accept I am a light sleeper but still not logical for music ...
I have done the Alaskan cruise 6 times and this was the worst. Holland America beats Celebrity hands down in every category. Here we go: the coffee was awful. Burnt one day, weak the next and just ok on a good day. Never ! Have I returned an entry in previous cruises. Three!! times I sent my dinner back. Poor selection for appetizers and main entrees. Only the deserts were good.
Broken ...
Mostly the itineraries and the port being so close to home! Every port was amazing especially Quebec City and the added overnight due to the hurricane! Excellent choice to keep us safe! We also had the best Cruise Director ever Manuel I don’t think he ever sleeps he was truly the greatest of all our 60 cruises. We also enjoyed every show very different each evening Karen Granger was a gem! Brandon ...
After around 20 cruises, this was our first Med. - and our last. The Silhouette which we had been on twice before was very crowded, I believe the passenger capacity has been increased and it showed. Full sunloungers, extremely difficult to get a seat in the evening and constantly running the gamut of the numerous motorised scooters - not wheelchairs I must add. More smokers than I have ever ...
