We chose this itinerary because we had done a Viking river cruise and thought having a journey with more relaxing time onboard would be very luxurious and relaxing. The accommodations are nice, spotless and relaxing. There are many areas to spread out on the Star. Many places to socialize, have a drink or seek privacy and read a book. Housekeeping services were exceptional, our room steward did a ...
Back to Back this and Dec. 22. Historical Mexican itinerary. Unfortunately had to miss Rosalina due to winds. A great deal of tendering ports which for many, would be the draw back. As usual great food, and staff exceptional. The combo mix bar for trivia and football days does not work well together. Trivia very well attended. Ship definitely showing its age in many places, but still is ...
We were on this ship, same itinerary last year for 7 day cruise. This year 11 day cruise, per day price was double, like all else in our world now. Ship has been kept up very nicely, very clean, all worked well. We had mid-ship veranda. Very nice comfortable room, bed very good. Bathroom small but worked well for us. Nice slate floor and large shower. Bigger people would have trouble with toilet ...
As a cruiser who has cruised with Princess for years now, I was not happy with recent changes they have made to their cruises which downgrade the experience (like turning the excellent casual restaurant Gigis/Alfredos into a added cost venue) so I was bracing myself on my recent cruise to Hawaii, thinking that I might have to find another go-to cruise line. I was happy to find that although there ...
This was our 17th cruise. We have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian and MSC.
We have sailed on 6 prior Celebrity cruises, one of which was a past sailing on the Eclipse to Alaska. This trip was to Mexico with a 2 day stop in Cabo San Lucas. The focus of this post is what we have noticed has changed. First and understandably is the price. Everything is increasing in ...
This was our 3rd cruise with celebrity . 1st two were on the millinium. The ship was very nice room and veranda great most service was out standing.
We were lucky enough to moveup to a sunset sky suite. So we ate in luminae for most meals. Most meals were exceptional but one night we didn't careful anything on the menu. We asked for an optional steak and the NY strip they brought ...
This was our very first sailing on Celebrity. We've sailed mostly on NCL, few Carnivals and one MSC cruise. The overall vibe was very different than what I'm used to but we still had fun. It was a relaxing cruise. The service was excellent! Entertainment was hit or miss. We are in our mid 40's and we felt relatively young on this cruise. Later at night the ship was pretty quiet. We walked into the ...
We just returned from our Mexican Riviera itinerary on the NCL Bliss. The ship was great, try not to be discouraged by some of the negative comments people post. The ship was clean and our balcony stateroom, was great. Note - ask your cabin staff for a mattress topper (they have a limited number available, but it really made the bed more comfortable. And, don't miss Mark Klein, best comedian ...
We had never cruised before this trip. We have many friends that cruise regularly, some with over 30 cruises. Several of our friends cruised on this ship in the past year and a half. They convinced us this was the ship for us.
Why this ship? We love live music. This cruise had 2 piano players, 2 bands, one solo guitarist, 2 violinists, and a jazz trio. The music was great. The jazz trio, ...
I will start with a quick summary of our cruise and then break it down into sections with more detail. First, a little about us, we are an easy going family of four including two kids aged 8 and 11. We have been on nine Carnival cruises as a family so we are pretty experienced cruisers.
Quick summary: Panorama is a very nice ship with lots of amenities, activities, and entertainment to keep ...
