We were part of a group that chose this ship for their annual trip.
Cabin with Balcony - Short on storage space. Over bed storage only for the tall among us.
Restaurant - Crowded and noisy. Then we were "strongly encouraged" to try the specialty dining. (If you go at 6, we will give you 30% off. No? Then we can also give you a bottle of champagne. No? How about a 9 PM seating? We can ...
This was my 5th cruise with Celebrity....2nd time on this ship.... My first cruise on the Celebrity Millenium was by far the best.....Each one since seems to be a little bit more of a let down. The food was OK... nothing fabulous. The service in the dining room was not relaxing... but I feel that was the fault of our waiter.... by the 4th night I finally had to tell him "don't rush me"! We even ...
This is our thirds celebrity cruise and the least impressive. We went on the Summit twice before this and thought it was a better ship with a much better entertainment director and crew.
Cabins: See my cabin complaint under Cabin Review. I would like to note though that they are impeccably clean and the housekeeping staff is unbelievably great.
Dining: We really prefer not going to ...
When we book a cruise we rely heavily on two things, our travel agents whom I trust very much, and Cruise Critic which I have also come to trust a lot.
But I'd have to say we were a bit disappointed this time. Maybe because we were expecting more. All the reviews were great. The editors Choice was a full 5 stars, the recent ranking has Reflection as the top large ship in the world right now. It ...
This was out third Cruise with Celebrity. The ship was The Reflection. We booked specifically based on past experiences and have recommended to numerous people over the years. For this particular trip, our group consisted of 9 total. Two families, 4 adults and 5 children aging from 8-13.
For the purposes of this review, I would like to highlight that we are very low maintenance travelers. ...
This was the largest ship and most expensive cruise we've taken. Last year we cruised on the Rhapsody of the Seas which seemed like a smaller clone (2000 passengers versus 3000). The dining, cabin and service was exceptional.
To accommodate 1000 more passengers, obviously the dining and theater areas were larger, but I felt that some of the public areas were actually smaller. The solarium ...
As longtime Disney and later Royal Caribbean cruisers my wife and I were looking for a more upscale cruise for just the two of us. We heard good things about Celebrity and jumped when our travel agent found a good deal on this cruise.
Embarkation at Miami went smoothly, with bags delivered to our room by 4 pm. Cabin small but efficient with sufficient storage space. Lack of any clock ...
We have done this cruise before, it was not the same. Standards seamed to be lower. The first night, this is 12hrs after the ship docked and started their resupply of goods to the dinning and bar areas. Went to 4 bars to get a Pina Colada one of the most popular cocktails. Could not get one, their reason was we are out ??? Wanted a salad with ranch dressing, yep you guessed it, No Ranch. Ranch ...
Murano's was excellent. MDR service was good. Food offering was good to poor. Entertaiment was average, cruise director was boring. Ship's officers were no where to be seen. Had several issues with guest relations in obtaining shipboard credits, finally resolved after three meetings. As Elite status, Celebrity is not providing prior offerings that they use to give to Captain Club members, personal ...
We were told by our cruise planner to arrive for boarding by noon at the latest "to avoid long lines". We arrived at the ship at 11:40 and did not embark until 1:20. There were several sections with 4 employees at each, registering passengers. The line we were directed to only had 2 employees in that section. To add insult to injury, cruise staff were directing people from the Captains Club to ...
