Over 20 cruises with Celebrity.
No typical champaign greeting...No playing cards at the concierge. No invitations to anything.
The maitre de went far beyond the call of duty, as did the waiters...but all their fine service couldn't help the flavorless food and lack of choices.
The entertainment in the bars and lobby areas were tolerable, but the stage performances were lackluster. The ...
This was a boring and dull experience with an invisible Captain George. Saw him the first night and again at Captains Club event...then who knows where he was or what to expect each day of the trip?? This was the opposite from our experience with Captain Leo on the Eclipse - so friendly, visible and informative.
Cruising in February to the Caribbean on this ship was so disappointing - a real ...
After reading dozens of reviews here about the Equinox, I echo just about everything mentioned. The ship is in excellent shape for being 15 years old and the lack of even a single outlet on either side of the bed was a sore point with my wife and I. Even the two outlets on the desk fell way short of what we required. Thankfully Celebrity fixed this on the newer ships such as the Beyond, which we ...
After half a dozen cruises with X with falling standards, we went to another company for 2 cruises but decided to give them another chance. Happy to say that in the main, things had got better.
Embarkation was good with the exception of needing to show paper copies of Esta, which neither couple knew about. Although I had copies on my phone I needed to locate them but wasn’t given a chance, with ...
After 22 Celebrity cruises it was an almost automatic choice.
We have always been delighted with the quality of food on Celebrity cruises. This time the food in the main dining room was mediocre at best and nowhere near what we were accustomed to. Even the speciality restaurants had lost any wow factor. As usual, all waiting staff were excellent but it must have been a challenge to stay ...
The reason for choosing this cruise was the itinerary because I never traveled to Bimini Bahamas. I’m a Floridian living in New York for very personal reasons and I needed a getaway. I’ve cruised Carnival, Norwegian and even the Margueriteaville at Sea. So I certainly wanted to upgrade. I booked a Royal Suite with the Butler and the whole nine yards. I’ve sailed this way before on Norwegian twice ...
My first Celebrity cruise!
For reference, I've sailed several times on Carnival (never again), Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian. Went on my first Norwegian cruise back in June and loved it so much I booked several more.
...and then came this Celebrity cruise.
EMBARKATION - what? Ten minutes? If even? SPEEDIEST EMBARKATION EVER.
CABIN - a surprise upgrade was awesome to get. Balcony ...
This was our 14 th cruise with various lines but our first with celebrity. We did 3 nights in Singapore at the beginning of our cruise and added 3nights in Hongkong after the cruise.
Certainly Hongkong is a must see city worthy of anyone’s wish list.Having said that so is Singapore.
The cruise was everything we could have hoped for .Cabin was concierge deck 9 with good size balcony.Solstice ...
We had a great time on our Silhouette cruise, our first on Celebrity after 16 on 4 other lines, mostly Royal Caribbean. There were many positives but I first want to comment on the crew - the Silhouette crew was hands down the friendliest we have ever sailed with. Everyone we came in contact with had a smile and a happy greeting for us; main dining staff were great and very efficient, buffet ...
Loved this cruise. Certainly helped by great weather and low price but also had very interesting ports of call of Thessaloniki (where we overnighted, and especially enjoyed), Kusadasi, Limassol, Rhodes and Heraklion. I've reviewed all of these in the relevant Ports of Call sections). Ship itself looking good after a refit, staff very cheerful and helpful, and food variable but generally good ...
