We have cruised only North America until now, first time in Europe.
First time with Celebrity.
This is our third different cruise line.
We mostly use Princess.
Everyone is entitled to their option.
Trying to be opened minded.
We like the ship layout, rooms and look of Princess much more.
The food is about the same, maybe a slight edge to Celebrity.
Service is a tie, however ...
My wife and I had a Mediterranean Cruise on our bucket list since retiring 5 years ago. Made the leap and booked this cruise in March of 23. Arrived in Barcelona the day before and taxied to the ship the following day. The boat is beautiful and the staff was amazing. We soon started seeing the up sale on things when we tried to connect to our "Free Wifi" that was part of our Aqua Class package. ...
We chose this cruise to be with friends celebrating their 39th anniversary.
We stayed in an aqua class room in order to experience the blue restaurant.we had heard the food would be much better.
Overall all I would say it was hit or miss. Twice meat not cooked as ordered, chicken dish was dry and tasteless, and what was called osso bucco and I was looking forward to was not osso buco it was ...
This was our first cruise with Celebrity and although we had a great time and the ports of call were spectacular, there were a few somewhat disappointing issues. Although the food, overall, was delicious, we found service at the bars and coffee bar to be lacking. The bartenders/baristas routinely ignored us, and were not friendly or helpful. We had upgraded to Concierge Class but had to ask for ...
This is our 4th cruise with Celebrity. We were disappointed. The personal service was lacking. It used to be that we felt pampered and built a relationship with our dinner crew. The seated dinner became boring. The food was mundane and mashed potatoes every night. No refills of wine or coffee. The sirloin New York was thin and always overcooked. It was almost like airline food! Our Anniversary ...
I wanted to travel to Greece?, I didn't choose the ship but the destinations that it offered this was my first time on cruise definitely going back. The service was amazing the food was great too..my only complaint was the excursions they were pricey and not worth the money. the staff on the ship were very friendly and always willing to help...what the ship lacks was made up by the impeccable ...
My wife and I selected this cruise to travel with friends to Europe for our very first time. We planned land vacation time on both the front and back end of this 9 day sailing. We booked more than a year ago and sailed on the Celebrity Silhouette in the spring with friends. The Silhouette sailing was out first glimpse that something is very wrong with Celebrity Cruises. However, we were ...
Good news - The ship is very nice, the staff was excellent.
Bad news - excursions were not good - canceled - most are 50 people on a bus with a long drive. Very disappointing. We ended up changing several and booking on Viator and private options.
Food was mediocre. Opus was bad and Luminae had very poor selection. The premium restaurants overcharged us not once but twice. it ...
Marketed as one of Royal Caribbean’s premium experiences, this cruise seemed to cater predominantly to retirees. The tranquil atmosphere was palpable, but not necessarily in a positive way. Daytime activities were disappointingly scant, leaving those seeking more lively engagements underwhelmed. The food, even in specialty restaurants, bordered on the bland side, not living up to premium ...
We chose this cruise as we had never been to the Greek Islands and the itinerary looked just what we wanted. We started off in Aqua Class as that's what we always book but when the opportunity came along to bid for an upgrade to a suite we did and surprise surprise we got upgraded to sunset suite. I looked at the reviews online which had a lot of negativity about this room but we went with an ...
