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 ...
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 ...
The cruise started well after a short train ride from Rome to the terminal and a bus to the ship. First impressions were great and we spent the first day exploring the ship and having a few drinks at different bars. We had an AquaClass room and our tip is to look for a layout where the bed is close to the window. We enjoyed sleeping with the window open and hearing the sea. It was also ...
I've read the many post-pandemic reviews and am stumped at the negative experiences these reviewers reported. I thought this Celebrity cruise was wonderful. I've been to Alaska several times before. I chose this cruise in order to see Hubbard Glacier and Icy Strait Point. The latter was a new destination for me. I started the trip with a 5 hour train ride from Anchorage to Seward, where the ...
In 18 years of cruising this was the worst cabin location we have ever encountered. Aqua cabins are located immediately below the Sauna/Solarium which entails being woken at 7 am each morning by furniture, etc being dragged across the deck above. In addition the balconies on these cabins are entirely devoid of direct sunshine due to the very ugly and huge overhang of the deck above.
We have ...
We have sailed with Celebrity before and had high expectations. The ship looked good on 1st impression.
Plus:
Attentive and hardworking despite so few.
Smart clean lounges
Good sized balcony
Goods customer service staff.
Pleasant coffee lounge with cakes
Easy embarkation
Minus:
Old accessible mini-van with very poor suspension collected us from airport to Ravenna. ...
We always enjoy the Solstice class ships and this cruise was no exception. The service was outstanding--cabin steward, bar service, MDR, coffee shop, etc. No issues with service anywhere on the ship despite it being a full sailing. A few guests at the martini bar were expecting 30 second service and voiced some complaints (we all know the type), but the service was excellent and the bar staff ...
About us: I'm in my early 60s and my GF is in her late 50s. I've cruised over 20 times, mostly on Celebrity & MSC.
Full Thread/Blog: I did a day-by-day write-up called "We board Infinity in about an hour. Let me know if you have any questions". It goes into considerably more detail.
Overview: This was a 7 day cruise out of Ravenna, which is about 3 hours from Venice. It stopped in ...
