So grateful to these forums as they helped us when we were planning our trip. So I thought I'd share our experience in case it might be helpful to anyone.

First time cruisers but frequent world travelers. Mid 50s. Early risers, early to bed. Big readers. Stair climbers and cyclists. Two meals per day. One of us is susceptible to seasickness (hence why we'd never been on a cruise.) ...
Have been on six Celebrity Cruises. This was the most disappointing Cruise we have been on with celebrity. We sail concierge class . We greatly missed not having a balcony. The infinity window was a joke. It would be similar to looking out your window. The solstice class ship is much better than the Edge class . The acoustics in the main dance area was terrible. In addition, the female band that ...
Just back from a 4 night cruise in a corner aft Sunset Sky Suite on Silhouette. We are Elite Plus but had not sailed since Covid and were a bit nervous because of all the Celebrity cutbacks and negative comments here. I am happy to report that Celebrity exceeded our expectations and we had an amazing cruise. We booked two more cruises while onboard. Here are some of our ...
Wanted to get away from Midwest winter and experience beautiful new ship. Unfortunately chose Spring Break week
which meant Fort Lauderdale was packed with many other ships besides ours leaving Sunday. Traffic from our hotel
was awful but we finally got there. Embarkation was smooth and efficient. Since we were Concierge class we were
able to have a sit down lunch onboard ship at the ...
The Celebrity Ascent is a stunning ship with beautiful design in most areas. It has a modern, upscale feel that's truly enjoyable. However, there were a few shortcomings that surprised us, especially considering this is a new Celebrity ship.
One frustration was the theater. We waited in line for a show in the top section of the Club, only to discover it had limited visibility. The layout seems ...
The trip to Galapagos exceeded my expectations. We chose the 10 day vacation with pre and post cruise stays in Quito. Celebrity representatives met us at the airport and everything went smoothly. JW Marriott was beautiful although we didn't have much time to explore. We arrived late the first night and took a taxi (Celebrity called for us) to a restaurant for lunch to meet our group. Missed tour ...
This was our worst experience with Celebrity in our over 20 years of cruising with them. The Millennium is a dated ship that has not been well maintained. Celebrity should no longer be using her. Service has suffered greatly in the post-COVID era. The ship felt understaffed with totally indifferent staff. There were waits and lines everywhere. The buffet cafe was always crowded and dirty. We ...
This is the second time on the Reflection. We have sailed on the Equinox 3 times, Beyond once and the Millenium once. We sailed with another couple. We got to Ft Lauderdale two days before we had to get on the ship. Please everyone should do that this time of the year as spring snow cause delays. It happened to us coming and going but we got it all worked out.
We feel the ship has a nice layout ...
We traveled with our adult daughter, her husband and our 15 year old grandson in two adjacent concierge class staterooms. Our stateroom assistant, Eddy, was terrific and we loved reading on our balcony while the ship was at sea. We loved the outdoor oceanview terrace for most of our meals, but also enjoyed the main dining room for two dinners. We all gathered together for meals, but otherwise ...
Second week, new room due to excessive noise from midnight to 3:00am under Craft Social Bar on deck 4. Moved to deck 11 aft, super easy process, clothes stay on hangers load up suitcase with the rest of your stuff and walk off the ship for the turnaround at security check.
Back on board in 20 minutes or less, up the elevator and tada luggage and clothes are on the bed. Put everything back ...
