Flew Glasgow to Montego Bay. Arrived on the ship with no problems. Booked a balcony cabin allocated 6154, sorry to say there was an electricity substation behind a door adjacent to our cabin. The noise was 24/7 so we complained next morning to reception. The lady came upstairs and agreed said she would see if anything could be done. To cut a long story short after 5 days they offered us an inside ...
This was our first cruise, we were never interested in cruising. Our reason for choosing this cruise was we were able to fly out of Toronto, Ontario (1.5hrs from home) and everything was included for a reasonable price. So we thought let’s give it a try.
Positives were........The staff made this cruise one of the best experiences we’ve had. All of the staff were amazing, eager to help, ...
Wanted to visit Havana and limited in choice as not a fan of MSC.
Liked the Tui dreamliner flights in premium economy.
Pleasantly surprised at how good the condition of this older ship was.
Great staff and cruise director made it very relaxed .
Food was very good and drink package covered most tastes.
Only £50 to upgrade if you want top brands.
Would definitely book with Tui ...
We were planning on an extended stay in Montego Bay, Jamaica and this cruise was offered as a gift to break-up that stay. We always enjoy staying there and Doctors' Cave Beach in particular. The beach is an easy walk to Margaritaville but you pass a lot of shops with aggressive sales people. If you stay for several days, they recognize you and are very respectful.
The embarkation was ...
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of the cruise experience you had on board of Celestyal Crystal in Cuba. We hope to welcome you again in one of our cruise-ships ...
This cruise was highly recommended by friends and we decided to try it for our annual Christmas Vacation. I have to say the entire experience was amazing. The nightly shows exceeded my expectations, the staff was friendly, kind, courteous and extremely helpful. The food and service at the restaurants were exceptional. I also liked the photo shoots and the fact that they were able to capture most ...
We took this cruise for our birthday celebration and to see Cuba. We upgraded to a suite, which was well worth the extra price. The cabin was very large and comfortable. The housekeeping staff was exceptional and a joy to have. The staff was superior. The nightly shows were above average for a cruise ship.
This is a smaller ship with mainly non-American passengers. This made for very ...
Wow, I have much to say here. The experience was a mixed one, but I got what I wanted to get out of the trip.
No one goes on a cruise to Cuba to be on a ship, so I will cover the excursions first. I am a US citizen, so my itinerary was pre-planned as is required for the visa. Note that all tour guides were happy to answer questions, but they were well-indoctrinated. Coaches were clean and air ...
Picked this cruise as it is the only itinerary that circles Cuba and makes 3 major port stops: Santiago, two full days and overnight in Havana, and Cienfuego. Originally, the itinerary included Maria Gouda but that was replaced with stop at Punta Frances, which was dropped from the itinerary. We were not notified of this until two days before departing. Would have been nice to know but it actually ...
We chose this for a true Cuban experience before it all changes.
Embarkation and Disembarkation was a breeze. The best in a long time.
Don't go on this ship if you're expecting all the bells and whistles of a megaship. The capacity is around 920 passengers--a little cramped for this size ship but still manageable.
The decor of the common areas is mid-century modern to 60's but very ...
Sailing Celestyal is a great way to visit Cuba if you are eager to go now, especially if you’d like to explore beyond Havana. The “Authentic Cuba” program ensures you will meet conditions for U.S. cultural exchange. Celestyal makes it pretty easy. I've rated the cruise "very good" overall *only* because of the Cuba itinerary.
Upsides to sailing with Celestyal, include: ease in obtaining Cuban ...
