This was our 7th Celebrity cruise, but the first since 2017 due to you-know-what-global-disaster. A couple of weeks before departure I ventured back to Cruise Critic and read so much doom and gloom about how bad Celebrity has become, and all the loyal passengers moving to better and more luxurious lines etc etc. I understand this particular demographic and their mindset, but it was a little ...
Unfortunately the official survey sent by the cruise line focused mostly on the staff, but I have a few other things to mention. The luggage took 6 hours to get to the cabin, although my check in was the earliest. Meals could be slow in the main dining room. One night it took an hour and a half to get our entrees. Dinner in the Murano, a specialty restaurant, was very good, but certainly not ...
This was our first cruise on Princess. We have sailed with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity before. We were very excited to go on an 11 day Alaska Cruise!
Let's start with the Pros. Main dining room food was excellent, drinks and specialty cocktails were delicious and the itinerary was wonderful. Big production shows were outstanding and I was able to perform the last night in the Voice ...
The ship is beautiful but when you first board onto the ship it's very new to everyone. Your welcomed into restaurants that have the fees and expenses and your not advised. They ask for cards and not tell you that the restaurants have additional prices. Things can add up very fast when you're unaware if it's on your package or not.
When you have elderly and if your elderly are not in a ...
This was our 3rd cruise to Alaska (first 10 years ago with Celebrity, and second 4 years ago with Holland, both Inside Passage). We decided for this one as a way to visit Denali.
The good things:
A) Celebrity did a major refurbishment of the Millennium. And it is not just some makeup: the ship got a major rejuvenation rework (we travelled in the Infinity a few months ago and the ...
My wife and I really enjoyed the ship. Excellent food, excellent staff and first rate facilities on board. The ship is amazingly clean and the staff is very attentive. Drawbacks include the use of Coffee Mate in all restaurants instead of real half and half, cabins that are a bit smaller than expected and an interior cabin with much too much furniture inside. The fold out bed for a 3rd or 4th ...
We have sailed on Celebrity the last 7 cruises we have taken. This was our third time reserving in the Retreat.
The ship is good for cold weather sailings, however, with no Retreat Sundeck, private pool and bar, would not spend the money for the Retreat.
Suite service was excellent. Our butler, Orsa, was fantastic. Always there when you needed something.
Bar Service at the World Class ...
We are just back from a 7-day Alaska cruise aboard the Celebrity Eclipse – our twelve or thirteenth cruise throughout the world. It was mostly good but things have changed in the cruise industry – the good ‘ol pre-pandemic days are naught but a pleasant memory.
Here were the things about the cruise that tainted the overall pleasure of it.
1. We embarked at the cruise ship terminal in ...
Just took the Celebrity Millenium cruise to Alaska, but just returned from our vacation – in total we were gone over 2 weeks (and one week was the cruise). We like cruising Alaska, so when some we were with our friends last July 2022, we said ‘what should we do in 2023?’ The answer that hot July was go somewhere not so hot! The cruise, which left from Vancouver and ended in Seward, was more ...
My overall experience on Crown Princess from Aug 4 to Aug 15, 2023 is very good.
I would like to show a special appreciation for few stuff member of Crown Princess, who made our cruise more enjoyable.
