We are veteran cruisers of more than 75 cruises on a variety of lines, including being Elite members with Celebrity.
We received notification a few days before the cruise of delayed boarding due to the need for deep cleaning of the ship because of a norovirus outbreak on the Transatlantic crossing. We arrived at the pier about 3:15pm thinking we would miss much of the chaos only to find ...
This was my 7th cruise with Celebrity and unfortunately, not the cruise line I have come to know. My husband and I just returned from a 7 night cruise on the Solstice. While the Solstice is a beautiful ship, the service was seriously lacking. Our stateroom attendant never was around and had to remind her on several occasions of various needs we had. It was a Concierge Class room, although I was ...
Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Western Caribbean on the Solstice Ship - I was very disappointed in the embarkation process for this trip. I there was a serious problem, the Virus, on the sailing from Spain to Ft Lauderdale and had to have the entire ship sanitized.
I was only notified the day prior to sailing that there would be a delay in embarkation, instead of 1:30 PM, it would start at ...
Just had a chance to compare Princess and Celebrity back-to-back on Caribbean cruises. This review does not include the ports- just ships and the attitude and experience between the two cruise lines.
First of all, the attitude between the cruise lines in noticeable right away. On Princess, the customer is always right, on Celebrity, the attitude is that the passenger is always wrong. On the ...
This was our fourth cruise but first on Celebrity. We had heard so many good things about the food and the ship. The ship is beautiful. Good things: Food quality and presentation in Oceanview cafe is very good; I liked having water, lemonade, ice tea, fruit punch and orange juice being available throughout the day. Being greeted with ice cold towels and cold drinks when returning to the ship was ...
We just got back from our 7th cruise—all have been on Royal Caribbean(5) and Celebrity (2). We love taking cruises as it is the best way for all of us to relax 110%. We counted down from 120 days as we were so excited. Thirteen of us from our family went. Overall, we had a good time— how can you not have a good time on a cruise ship? But, overall we were disappointed. Why? Mostly due to the low ...
As a veteran of many Celebrity cruises, Ive come to expect things to be done the Celebrity way on all of their ships. The Solstice was a major disappointment.
First, my luggage, packed that morning in my hotel, was destroyed. They took it to see if they could fix the crushed supports. I asked about it on the 3-6 days on the cruise and got the same answer-its at the upholsterers, I will ...
My girlfriend and I selected Celebrity after looking at several of the reviews on Celebrity Cruise Line. Overall, we had a positive experience, but had to re-assess our expectations early in our cruise. E is 30, I am 43. Both of us had been on several cruises prior to this voyage and were looking forward to more of an upscale cruising experience. After looking through several websites and talking ...
