My wife Coby and I chose this transatlantic cruise to celebrate our retirement and take a journey we've never taken before.
Some highlights.
Booked directly through Celebrity including Celebrity Air flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Charlotte to Rome.
Couldn't have been looked after better.
Greater by two Celebrity reps before we cleared customs who immediately took over looked after our ...
Let's start with the positives:
Cabin clean and attendant excellent
Dining room staff terrific attentive and great range of food found no need to eat at additional charges restaurants
Pool area no problem in finding seating.
Ports of call -great itinery and easy to master on your own
Both embarkation and disembarkation simple
The negatives:
Celebrity appear to be saving ...
The itinerary was the main draw for me. That is why I was so disappointed the we missed Rhodes. I realize w a man overboard situation compromises are necessary , but offering a second tour AT NIGHT with nothing opened an limited lighting was not really adequate ( and they threw in a dinner at a Rhodes restaurant for more than the original tour) Obviously it was done to fulfil the obligation of ...
We were on the Celebrity Reflection 10 day Italy & Greece Tour.We had a Stateroom with Balcony on the 9th Deck.
We found nearly everything about the cruise to be really good.
The service, from ALL staff was friendly and courteous. They all give you the impression they ENJOY doing their job.
The standard of food & service in the Opus Restaurant was superb.
We did not bother eating in ...
You know, the thing is that we have been floating on this ship for over 3 weeks now.. with the best Captain, the best staff, pretty good food, an nice suite on the 12 th floor.
Love it.. but...but.. there is just one big thing that gnaws on me daily.
The Guy in charge of movies, sports etc. on tv.
So get this, 70% or more of the 3000 cruisers are from US. It is the middle of the football ...
This particular sailing was way too busy. The first two days of the cruise were sea days but after that, it was port after port after port. A saving grace was an overnight in Barcelona. I just wished the overnight was in La Spezia. The itinerary was a big blur as I tried to look back. * I booked a Suite Class room directly through CelebrityCruises.com. The website indicated in-suite espresso. I ...
Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel an earlier cruise, so when I saw a tremendous deal offered for this one, my wife Rosy and I jumped at the chance, although it was on a much larger ship than we have become used to.
We were quoted around £2900 each for a Sky suite, including premium beverage package, wifi, gratuities and $300 OBC, virtually an all-inclusive cruise, but Celebrity ...
This was our 4th cruise, and our previous 3 have all been on Solstice ships (Equinox and then twice on Silhouette) so we went in having got the first-timers 'wow' thing out the way, and felt we knew what to expect on this ship. There was a lot as expected, some things a bit better, some not so good.
The ship overall is just what we knew we'd get from this class of ship and in terms of what is ...
We chose this cruise to celebrate my Big Birthday, and as usual, Celebrity didn’t fail to impress. The Itinerary appealed to us as we hadn’t been to most of the ports of call. We had an Aquaclass cabin with balcony. Comfy bed, decent sized bathroom and adequate wardrobe space. Our favorite trip was to a Spanish Ranch to see beautiful Andalusian horses. Prior to the cruise we had five days in Rome, ...
We have sailed with Celebrity about 17 times. We've also sailed with Princess, Royal Caribbean, and other lines, but Celebrity has been our favorite.
The public rooms are spotless and beautiful. The Ocean Grill had many options and much variety, which we enjoyed. The Opus Dining Room served good food as well, although the last evening the service was exceptionally slow and we didn't finish our ...
