NCL used to be a very friendly cruise line with great guest services. However, during our most recent two cruises with NCL (one before and one after the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions), they have shown they know how to ruin a cruise. This southern Caribbean cruise, our third recent cruise, is no exception, just a significant number of frustrations, disappointments, broken promises that add up ...
I selected this cruise because of the itinerary not because of the ship. I read reviews of the ship here and went into it knowing that there might be somethings about the ship I didn't like. I'll tell you about a few things that NCL needs to address and could do to overcome the ships oddness. First, one thing that's back on NCL, a full in person muster drill. I will say I hated this and wonder why ...
Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise XXVII....really enjoyed this ship! Boarding was a breeze, as was our debark on the last day. Our cabin was only an ocean view and on Deck 1, but OMG, it was really roomy and comfy. We usually get balconies and really don't use them, so just the window was perfect. Our cabin stewards, Putu and Tri were awesome! So friendly, efficient and took care of us all ...
This is the first cruise for us in more than four years and we were so looking forward to this trip. The embarkation process was smooth and painless. We showed up at our appointment time and were onboard within 45 minutes. Service was fantastic in all of the restaurants and we had a wonderful steward. The ship was beautiful, clean and new. The negatives began with all of the extra costs that no ...
About 3 dozen cruises over the last 22 years.
Love the ANTHEM
Excellent larger veranda on deck 9.
Wonderful stateroom steward, samsudin kept the room clean and freshly made up twice each day. Room was prepared within a reasonable time after we left and samsudin always greeted us by name and with a smile.
No review of the itinerary as we have done it so many times.
As far as the ...
We love Celebrity. The Edge is a visually beautiful ship, clean and new with a great crew. Captain Tasos is very involved with many announcements and playing Liars Club in the theater. Unfortunately, the ship is not designed for a comfortable cruise. There is little to no shade on the main deck and if this is important to you it will be a problem. We were in a Celebrity Suite in the Retreat. They ...
We chose this for the itinerary at first. Stayed in a Sky Suite which we loved. This was the newest ship we've been on so there were a lot of differences. The ship is beautiful and clean. The food was fabulous. The entertainment was top-notch and the Captain was very visible and had a superb sense of humor! We did miss some of the things that the older ships have such as shops that don't ...
Picked this cruise for the interesting itinerary. This is our 12th cruise but never been on Celebrity. Was very disappointed by the main dinning rooms(s)food. Worst food by far in main dinning rooms I’ve ever had. Breakfast buffet was good. Lunch buffet was excellent. So one night for dinner since we were not impressed by the main dinning rooms we thought we’d hit the buffet for dinner. Well that ...
This was our 17th cruise and 1st one on Celebrity. While it was a "nice" cruise, it did not live up to the high expectations we expected based on friends' recommendations. Celebrity is supposed to be an upgrade from Royal Caribbean, but we didn't find anything special / better than RC. And the service was lacking--too few crew members to handle a full-ship. So we spent a lot of time waiting, ...
We are regular travellers with Celebrity and have always found the cruises to be first class. Prior to this cruise we sailed around UK just after the covid restrictions were lifted. This cruise was up to the usual standard.
We accept that as a result of the pandemic these businesses have lost considerable sums of money and some catch up is needed. However, the cutbacks are now starting to ...
