Southern Caribbean Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

We chose this cruise for its itinerary. The Aruba excursion was extremely disappointing! Having been to Aruba several times, we love the beaches. Our Coral Club beach was far from beautiful. No mention of waist-deep only water. Food offered was fair. Speaking of food, Celebrity was known for excellent food in the past. We did not find that to be true on the Equinox. We had 1 superb meal ...

Both good and bad – this was the 2023 repositioning cruise from Miami to Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao returning to Bayonne, NJ. Overall, the cruise was excellent however there are certainly some very significant highlights to mention, both pros and cons. First, we were in Aqua Class. Great location at the top of the ship Aft. No one above us and the buffet and outdoor bar below but the cabin was ...

This was our first cruise post Covid and we were so pleased with the ship and this sailing. This was our 5th Celebrity cruise and 25+ overall cruises. Embarkation was very easy and quick we were on the ship by noon. Went directly to cabin and met our room steward Gusti, he was amazing the whole cruise. Always asked how our day was and kept our cabin clean and tidy. We had a concierge cabin ...

I chose Celebrity for this year's cruise because after several Royal Caribbean sailings, I thought the dining, in-particular went downhill, and I wondered if it was time for me to "move up" to a premium cruise line. For a balcony cabin, I paid about $100 more per night on Celebrity than I normally do on Royal Caribbean, but I could not see where that premium pricing was put to use. There seems to ...

This was our 8th cruise. Second on Celebrity, last cruise April 2018. We are in our mid-60's, and active. We wore masks where ever there were crowds, took the stairs when ever we could, and went to fitness center 4 days out of 10. We did five excursions, one on each island. Our overall experience was positive. Staff were always friendly. Nice to see cleaning going on everywhere. OVC had ...

My husband and I love tropical vacations and we wanted to explore the Southern Caribbean. This particular cruise went to a number of islands that we've never visited. We were a little nervous that a 10-day cruise, bookended by two days At Sea at the beginning and end might be a bit too long, but it ended up being perfect! Embarkation couldn't have been easier. We were able to check in on the ...

The food was exceptional. The buffet was the best on any ship and I mean any ship. Tuscan Grill was WOW. It just wins as one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Their cakes were disgusting though. However food on the ship is important but does not make the cruise on its own. Activities were very lack luster. There was no BINGO which was weird. They also showed Whitney Huston movie 8 times and ...

This was a make up vacation for a cancelled oversea trip. We have sailed on the new and older Celebrity ships but prefer this mid-age Solstice-class ship for a good blend of service, activities and comfort. First of all, I was a little shocked as the normal average passenger age of 55, appeared closer to 70 years old on this cruise. The Good: Well maintained ship, service from everyone was ...

PROS - Ship is great, Medium Size, Easy to get around. We sail about 6 times a year. This was our 4th on Celebrity. Ship only had 1200 passengers on this sailing. We have sailed on the Summit and the Infinity before. My wife was on the Summit 2 months ago and she said it was great. CONS - Room Steward - Very Slow, Left for dinner at 530pm come back at 8pm and room still hasn't been ...

Overall we had a great time. The crew, service, and ship condition were top-notch. There were, however, some disappointments. Food: Portion sizes, unlike other cruise lines, are still ample. The Oceanview Cafe buffet is fantastic, especially the fresh-baked croissants, pizza and omelet stations. One notable disappoint across the ship is desserts. All the cakes start with a dry spongecake that ...
