Celebrity Southampton Cruise Reviews

I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...

It started to go wrong on the second evening at dinner. Three people on my table had the lamb which came with shards of bone in each mouthful. The Maitre D was not bothered. The cruise became steadily worse. We were never offered coffee after dinner. In Lisbon the whole of my coach asked for the tour to be ended early by taking us back to the ship. In the buffet "Waldorf salad" had the walnuts, ...

Picked this cruise because we wanted to go to Iceland. First given a dirty room made to wait inside for 3 hours to find a replacement Trips were expensive if the boat decided To stop somewhere First port was tender badly organised took 5 hours to get off the boat Then they started altering the ports ended up only half a day in Reykjavík and cancelling Guernsey. Food wasn’t great ...

After my experience on the Celebrity Silhouette, the Celebrity cruise line has fallen to the bottom of my list. This is after more than 40 cruises on 8 different cruise lines. At embarkation, a drink of water or lemonade was for Suite passengers only. The Embarkation Lunch for Concierge Class passengers included a salmon filet that was overcooked, tough and chewy short ribs, a table for 2 ...

The experience was average. The food is good in the main dining room with good service. But the food in the buffet is average at best ( and for a medium high cruise line this is disappointing ). The price of the additional packages are excessive. Imagine you are on a 8 day cruise ( 7 days effectively as the last day finished at 6 am ), paying GBP 72 for a classic drink package ( effectively ...

We chose this cruise for a little autumn sun in the Canary Islands and having been on Silhouette before in the Caribbean saw it as the perfect fit--or so we thought. The ship was full--perhaps too full and I would say the average age of cruiser was easily 70 plus. The positives; Room attendant was very very good as always and a credit to themselves. Cabana was nice. Elton John show ...

we chose this cruise because people said, it is the best , how wrong we were, , The arrival and check in process was great TBH and we were soon in our room, firstly opening the doors to look at the view of spilt drinks on the outside table, Oh well must have been missed we thought, we had a drinks package however soon found out if you wanted a bottle of Stella, $1 extra, Martini bar $7 extra but ...

Cabin Cabin size was good, cabin cleanliness was not. Greeted by a pile of the previous guest's toenail clippings on the balcony. I don't what made us more annoyed, that someone would do that and leave them or that it hadn't been cleaned up. Went to Guest Services to ask that the balcony was cleaned, of course it didn't happen and so we sorted it. An old malteser under the bed and grubby carpet ...

Having had some great previous cruising experiences with Celebrity & other cruise lines, I decided to try their Retreat Experience for a short 5 day cruise- very glad it was only 5 days as this was a complete let down. I decided on Silhouette as it had apparently gone through a re-fit as the last time we cruised on her was in Aqua Class on a Baltic cruise and she was looking very tied and ...

I’d not cruised with Celebrity before but had seen a fabulous itinary in the Far East for 2024 so thought I’d try this taster cruise. As a solo traveller, how I’m catered for IS important. Didn’t get off to a good start when I arrived at my allotted time to be told I’d have a long wait as everyone had arrived early doors and there were queue problems. having queued for almost 2 hours I ...
