Pros We enjoyed the ship and the atmosphere. The furnishing were tasteful and quite comfortable. Surprisingly we enjoyed the entertainment. It was fun and not over the top. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. The service and attitudes were really great. The Chef's table was very good. The cabin design especially the bathroom was exceptional. Room service breakfasts ...

The ship was nice, but starting to show its age. Upholstery on the chairs in the dining rooms are starting to crack, the leather parts. The chairs in the Sonesta dining rooms, and many places elsewhere on the ship were so deep in the seat that they were not comfortable to sit on without asking for a pillow for support. Stateroom were nice and well appointed, but also starting to show wear. ...

Good Cape Horn Cruise after a shaky start

We had always wanted to do a Cape Horn cruise as it is one of the classic voyages. We were 2 couples. Coming out of Covid, the incentives were fantastic with free drinks, tips and (slow) wifi. Embarkation from Valparaiso was a gong show as I believe ours was the first ship departing for Celebrity from that port in about 3 years. Lots of grumbling in the very long line and many of the staff ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s

This cruise was in celebration of my wife's 75th birthday. While we took the Viking Grand European River Boat Cruise, this was our very first ocean cruise. We did not know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Having nothing to compare with, we were impressed by the size of the ship...900 passengers with lots of amenities and excellent service. The food quality and ...

Journey to the bottom of the world

What a marvelous way to see a remote part of the world! The small towns (Puerto Montt, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, Falkland Islands, and Puerto Madryn) were charming and really gave us a good view of what it's like to live out of the main towns. I went Horseback riding in the Chilean Rainforest, Hiking in Patagonia, and got to see penguins in the Falklands! All this while enjoying great food, ...

Not as great as I expected, especially for nature

We looked forward to visiting countries in South America, places we hadn't been, and especially seeing natural places and animals there. Mostly, I was disappointed. We saw little of either. Penguins could only be seen from a distance in the Falklands, as wasted stop in my opinion. We did get to see many penguins on the extra excursion in Puerto Madryn after a 2.5 hour bus ride; it was worth it. ...

The Jupiter is a beautiful ship, and this was for us a different and interesting itinerary. For the most part, we were very happy with everything. Viking went over and aboard in the embarkation and disembarkation days for us because we had arranged air and transfers through them (we were taken to breakfast en route to the ship and the last day given an extra tour and hotel ballroom to hang out ...

We had an 18-day cruise from Valparaiso, Chile to Antarctica and back to Puerto Arenas. It took forever to get onto the ship and get into our cabin (436). Once we got in, things went well for the most part. The cabin was fine but there was a horrid odor in the hallway (sewage smell) off and on. Somedays it was barely noticeable; other days we held our noses and ran to our cabin. We reported it but ...

Price and itinerary.. Its was a destination that we did not do before. Food was good but not exceptional . Food was better on other celebrity crises we have been on . Disembarkation was awful. It appeared very organized with everyone given assigned times for immigration. But then they threw the schedules away huge groups go all at once . This caused long waits , long lines, long waits for ...
