Silver Spirit at Christmas time is a beautifully decorated ship, as well as one of the most pleasant to cruise. The extension added new cabins as well as enlarging the main dining room. No reservations are needed there, and it was never filled. The menu has multiple choices, but does not vary from day to day during a ten day cruise. There is enough to choose from in the main dining room, and ...
Decided to try Windstar after liking the smaller ship experience on Viking and Azamara and Viking River. Overall, the food was very good, the crew friendly and eager to please however we started off by delaying our sail away by a day due to "two small holes" in the hull that required underwater welding. This resulted in a sea day instead of our scheduled port of call in Cartagena which was the ...
We had a great time on this cruise. Ports and entertainment were excellent. Celebrity ran many extra activities and gifts for elite members and above. The food was quite good. We enjoyed the Ocean View for breakfast and lunch and Select dining for dining. Staff was very attentive to all of our needs. Entertainers wonderful and so was Mickey live! The added Tango show added to the entire feel of ...
This was our 1st MSC and we were very pleased. The Divina has elevators everywhere, so getting around was quite easy. The casino was small and there were even $1 blackjack tables. The shows were good, but the same performers/singers were in every show so I would rate the shows less. The other venues were great and each had music every night and a dance floor. The Golden lounge seating was a ...
From a 6 time Norwegian cruiser, who will probably be looking more elsewhere.
Biggest problems were getting on and especially getting off. Getting on, the boarding process was very unclear, and few knew. A sign explaining the order would have helped. Also put some bakery items, and drinks in the waiting area. Getting off was a total zoo, as wife not a US citizen. Told everyone to go ot the ...
Caribbean Princess 12/9 to 12/19 Panama Canal Cruise
Pros:
Embarkation was fairly smooth and quick with the new electronic Medallion system.
Cruise terminal staff were friendly and helpful.
Staterooms were ready for guests upon boarding the ship.
Our stateroom door usually “recognized” our electronic Medallions upon our approach and unlocked the door for us.
The ship was ...
Staff and servers were wonderful. Staterooms were very nice with plenty of room for 2 people. Attendant was very good. Ports were fun as long as we did our own thing. My biggest complaint is the pool deck ambience. Many patrons asked for music but were refused over and over. Don't understand why a pool deck can't have music playing. Lots of cancelations of live music and activities. Food not ...
I accidentally chose this cruise line. I should have read the reviews more. The service on the ship was hit and miss. The food was lukewarm to cold in the main dining room. The stateroom itself was very worn, scratched and chipped in so many places of the room, let alone the scratch sheets. I was informed by the activities director that Celebrity did not budget for entertainment. This is a ...
After over 100 cruises with Celebrity, I am still impressed with the excellent service. I just keep thinking it couldn't get any better, but it always does. I have cruised all of the major cruise lines over the years. Basically, they all have the same cabins, pretty good food and beautiful ships, but Celebrity takes the first place award for the friendliest and most accommodating crew on the ...
We chose Celebrity because of long and frequent previous experience.
To begin : embarkation in Barcelona was the worst we ever experienced. Despite our Elite statute we stood in line for 50 minutes. One man fainted in another line.
Cabin with balcony very much alike to other cabins on ships of this class.
Excellent steward (Francesco) . Very attentive and efficient.
We have no ...
