We want to keep this short:
Staff is still an 8 out of 10. Thank you, Celebrity Cruises.
We have now decided to not book Celebrity again due to one big problem and a few small.
The big problem is the food. Main Dining Room was so bad on 6 out of 12 nights. The other nights were - let's say okay.
Nothing compares to years ago. It's just sad and bad.
Further problems included ...
We chose this cruise based on the ship and the length of time for the trip which was 12 nights. There were many good things about this adventure such as the solarium and the service…the staff really works hard to keep everyone happy. We ate at 2 specialty restaurants called Tuscan and Murano and the food and service was excellent…there were 4 in our group and we all felt the meal at Murano was the ...
We chose this cruise because it was school vacation week and we wanted to take a cruise longer than a week. The ship itself was very clean and the staff were exceptional. The decor is a bit outdated, felt like a casino in the mid west. The outdoor pool is small. The deck layout around it very crowded. The solarium pool is also small. The activities on board were geared for an older crowd. The ...
We did this Southern Caribbean cruise on the Equinox because our travel agent recommended it. We splurged and booked a Celebrity Suite. Almost everything about the ship was very good. It's clean, new looking, well maintained. I'll summarize our experiences by category. Note we were suite guests...
- Cabin and room butler - excellent
- Luminae dining room - friendly staff, excellent ...
The internet was spotty at best. We had an emergency, at home, that was relayed to us via a text message. We tried to use the texting and it failed a good deal of the time. After many tries we were able to get through. The standard internet package was a joke. We wrote the President and CEO of Celebrity Cruise about our emergency problem at home. The CEO never responded to our letter. Does ...
Pre-Cruise: We drove to Ft. Lauderdale the day before the cruise and stayed at the Residence Inn in Dania Beach ($229/night). The hotel was clean and well maintained and was very convenient to the airport and cruise port (10 minutes). We had a wonderful seafood dinner (grouper and shrimp) at the Rustic Inn Crab House on Angler’s Way near the hotel.
Embarkation: This was our second ...
The Equinox cruise Feb 11-20th was tremendous ! The food was great, the entertainment top shelf- the Shamrock Tenors show and Roy Tan ( pianist) shows were the highlights of the cruise; the comedian show with Fred Bevill was very funny; Curacao and Aruba are fun ports of call ; due to a change first in Cayman Islands and then in Jamaica restrictions on visitors to those islands- that port call was ...
COVID has pushed many services and business though the open door of technology. Check in was efficient and quick. The rep had a tablet loaded with the information we had added to the app while we were at home. We answered a few questions, presented our vaccination info and PCR test results and walked onto the ship. I think it took all of five minutes. The muster was conducted on the TV in our ...
First, a few words about us. We are both in our early/mid 60's and have been retired for 3 years. We live modestly, but happily. We don't order $350.00 bottles of wine or stay in 10K suites or worry if the concierge is not as attentive as they should be, cause we don't stay in those rooms. We are just ordinary folk who love to have a good time. We took this trip with 6 of our neighbors and ...
We had originally booked to cruise on Celebrity Edge, however the itinerary changed twice and was no longer the cruise we booked so cancelled and rebooked for a 9 night cruise on Equinox to the Dutch Antilles.
We travelled from London Heathrow a very tedious 9 and a half hour journey. We arrived at approx 7pm and were met at Miami airport and transferred to our hotel for the night.
