Celestyal Cruises Celestyal Crystal Reviews

For starters Piraeus was not the port this ship docked on, it was Lavriom. An hour or so away from the Acropolis. I had to pay $150.00 for my husband and myself for a taxi to take us to the Acropolis. It just does not make any sense. The other 16 passengers in our 18 passenger group were not able to go. They just went around the port town which is not the purpose to visiting Athens. All of us very ...

Overall we were happy with this cruise. Our cabin was spacious and very clean. The food was inconsistent. Breakfasts and lunches were always very good, but the dinner options were either very good or disappointing. We chose the specialty dining at 60 euros a person for our last night and while it was delicious, it didn't blow us away. Wifi and cell service was extra and a hassle to set up and ...

My wife and I went on a 7 days cruise of Greek Islands in Celestyal Crystal , starting from Athens. It was a wonderful and enjoyable experience -we felt completely at home by the 5 star service provided by the entire ship crew. They made us feel like being part of one big family. Even though we are vegetarians there was enough spread of fruits and vegetables to ease our concerns. The F&B crew ...

Perfect sailing with Crystal. Excelent chance for 7 day cruise with top choice deatinations and great value for money. A dreamful vacation for everybody who want to travel, sail and relax. Great experience on and off board with plenty of joy, lovely atmosphere, great variety of drinks and meals, show program and different excursions. Many warm thanks to all staff, who are always helpful and ...

The balcony cabin was fine, the two servicing people were great. However, the pushy sales tactics experienced from almost every employee, especially during the first three days of the cruise, trying to sell us an additional drink package for 49.95 per day per person (in addition to what we had already included in our price) became a total nuisance. The wash clothes were a dirty yellow, clearly not ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, full in the knowledge that Crystal was due for retirement in a few months, and despite it having little in the way of modern conveniences and razzmatazz. We were definitely not disappointed, and enjoyed a fabulous 2 weeks. The crew were, in the main, fantastic. Despite only having limited performers, we were presented with a different show every night in ...

We had sailed on the Celestyal Crystal before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. For our second trip we chose the Three Continents itinerary as a means to see places that we wanted to visit - in particular the Pyramids, Jerusalem and Ephesus. While the outing schedule was at times demanding it was most certainly worthwhile. The ship herself is beautiful, and her gleaming turquoise and ...

A Greece based cruise company that specializes on cruising the Eastern Mediterranean and Greece islands. Their ship is old, actually 42 years old, but still in good condition. It is small compared to all the other companies ships. If you look up the history of this ship, you might decide to go with another company. My advice is don’t, cause we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. This was a back to back ...

I chose this cruise because it gave me the best value for money as a solo traveller, 1st time cruiser and avid fan of historical sites. It takes you to 3 continents, has some excursions included in the price, and has amazing shows every night, not to mention lovely, welcoming staff. What's not to like?? If you are looking for an amazing experience in complete comfort, with a stress free tour of ...

This was our first experience of sea cruising and it was an absolute pleasure. Everything aboard the Celestyal Crystal was well-organised and the ship had a lovely atmosphere. She was very attractively furnished in all the public areas that we saw and our cabin was beautiful. The various lounges and open air decks made for comfortable opportunities from which to view surrounding scenery. All the ...
