40th wedding anniversary thought it would be a wonderful treat but it was very disappointing ship old, cabin tired in need of refurbishment. Fresh linen everyday but the towels small and grey, bathrobes I’ve seen better in a charity shop.
Dinner room San Marco service slow, food good
Buffet, chairs were often sunken and need replacing, staff fun, food excellent.
Public areas all good ...
Chose cruise because of itinerary and previous pleasant experience with Celebrity.
On a positive note - nice cabin, excellent steward and friendly, helpful crew with the exception of shore excursion staff.
However from the moment of boarding, incessant pressure to upgrade. Pestered to take out drinks package. If you have drinks package, pressure to upgrade to premium package. Constant ...
Chose tour because never had been to Southeast Asia. Lots of cities. Unfortunately, not much time in each city because of transportation time from ports to cities. Not the cruise's fault.
As most people who have cruised know, there's less quality and quantity with every passing year. Maybe because much less money coming from casino, bingo, and jewelry sales. There were very few people doing ...
We chose this cruise as part of a land/cruise package starting in Beijing. Embarkation at Shanghai was the longest we have ever experienced lasting over two hours. Passengers were being put through the priority lines regardless of Captains Club status. Once on board we found that the items we preordered for embarkation had not been delivered. It was a disappointing start to the cruise but things ...
Went on a far east cruise on the Celebrity Constellation.
Firstly, our taxi didn't turn up to take us to the hotel for our overnight stay. When asking anyone from Celebrity Cruises they couldn't help us as they couldn't speak English. (we werent the only ones this happened to)
While waiting to check in and board ship in Shanghai, we was shunted from place to place with no where warm to sit. ...
We chose this cruise because of the ports of call, China, South Korea and Japan.
This was also our first cruise with celebrity after previous cruises with P&O we were looking forward to the "step up" in the cruise experience.
The ship herself was a little tired but nothing to put us off .
Our cabin was 9027 ,deck 9 forward and was on a par with our experience with P&O,the main difference ...
We took this cruise from Shanghai to Tokyo on Oct, 2018. The cruise started out on a bad note. On the check in at the Shanghai port, passengers were made to wait in line out in the sun, with only a couple of portable toilets. This may be the fault of the Shanghai port or the Chinese immigration, but we certainly started off with a bad taste. The bad vibe continued once we were on the ship. On ...
Having done a number of Celebrity Cruises in the past & thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience, we had been looking forward to our latest voyage of discovery. Unfortunately toon many cost saving issues spoilt the overall experience. Bearing in mind our yardstick was past Celebrity Cruises we were truly disappointed. The following issues, small as they were in some instances, combined to spoil ...
I would have rated this cruise a 3.5 overall. strong points being the destinations (fabulous) which were various, many and interesting, the staff (very trying their utmost and always available on Celebrity), the food at oceanview and at that extra charge Italian restaurant (cant already remember the name, but the food was awesome).
A special kudos to the Blu staff, overall excellent (better ...
SHIP : We choose this cruise because of the ports of call. However, I found the ship a bit old and "tired" and generally everything on the cruise was a bit "tired & old".
CABIN : We found the cabin adequate but somewhat small.
DINING & CREW : However, the dining room crew should be commended with top ratings - especially JJ in QSine. In addition, the staff and ambiance at the Japanese ...
