Antarctica has been on my bucket list for some time and this cruise met or even surpassed my expectations. The staff were amazing especially our efficient and attentive cabin steward and our waiters in the dining room. The food was excellent for the most part but I was a little disappointed with the buffet which we only frequented occasionally. This was our fourth Celebrity cruise and we always ...
Wanted to see Antarctica but no longer interested in getting out on the ice or paddling around in kayaks. Traveled with a group of four couples who had previously sailed on Celebrity Summit.
This class of ships are nicely designed with larger showrooms to accommodate grand productions and very nice gyms. Of course, that means the dining venues are also huge and, when full, tend to be ...
Celebrity Review
Celebrity earned a D- for the travel, logistics, entertainment, and customer service performance for their Antartica cruise relative to other luxury vacation options. The onboarding and off boarding process were a free for all, with near zero support moving heavy luggage. Completely an Unacceptable disaster. The ship was old and needs to be modernized. To be completely ...
First time sailing Celebrity. We wanted to go to Antartica (but not on an expedition ship). The itinerary was great! However, we missed the Falkland (Malvinas) Island stop due to it being a tendered stop and the weather was not great (or so they said). That created a little too many sea days all together. I'll try to sum up this review quickly:
POSITIVES:
Antartica/penguins/icebergs - ...
First off, we're experienced cruisers. This was #31 across all brands but mainly with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. It was also our third Celebrity cruise in the last 6 months. This cruise gets 2 stars. One for the itinerary which was outstanding (Antarctica) and was the reason we took the cruise. The second star is for the crew. Even though they appeared to be significantly understaffed and ...
Value for money cruise. Facilities good. Cabin decent size. Room attendant Michelle did very good job of making room clean and comfortable. Everything put in place and so pleasant to return to after breakfast. Restaurants very nice ambience and wide range of menu selection. Interesting food items available at mealtimes. Dinner in Moonlight Sonata made very enjoyable by excellent service from ...
Celebrity Eclipse Cruise to Antarctica Feb 2020
I have always wanted to go to Antarctica but, like Uluru, had no desire to leave my footprint on this pristine land. And my hubby gets seasick on small ships, so an expedition ship was out. So, Celebrity Eclipse fitted the bill perfectly. You get to cruise in and around Antarctica, covering Drake Passage, Schollart Passage, Paradise Bay, Elephant ...
We chose this particular cruise because of the Antarctica Itinerary. We had been to Buenos Aires, Ushuia, Montevideo and Stanley, Falkland Islands previously. Antarctica islands were fantastic. We are Elite (almost Elite Plus) on Celebrity and in a Concierge Veranda stateroom which was fine. On previous Celebrity cruise ships we had experienced good food and were looking forward to same on the ...
We chose this cruise to see Antarctica. We had been booked originally with HAL but after doing an EXC Holland America cruise through the Pacific last April we decided to cancel. We wanted a cruise that had some entertainment for the many sea days. This was our first cruise on Celebrity and we were very happy with most things.
Our cabin was nice on the 10th floor mid ship Concierge class. I ...
The reason for this cruise is simple: ANTARCTICA!!! The most amazing place I've ever been. The other ports were Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Falkland Islands (cancelled because of weather) Puerto Madryn, Argentina and Montevideo. There were a lot of sea days so I think they struggled to find enough entertainers or those willing to fly to South America. For example; the in house performed a night of ...
