Greece Celestyal Olympia Greece Cruise Reviews

This has been my first trip and I am a solo traveller. I was a bit sceptical after reading all the reviews but this cruise and the staff exceed my expectations. I stayed in the cruise four nights and I couldn't have packed more things or visited more places in such little time. Every day plenty of activities to keep you occupied and fit in the boat. From Greek lessons to south American ...

My family was absolutely blown away by the incredible dining service that we received on the Celestyal Olympia Iconic Aegean Cruise. We dined in the Galileo room and were served by Lais and Gede who were just fantastic! The wine steward, Yassir, spoiled us with extremely fast coffee service and even took the time to teach me (a new wine drinker) about wine tasting. My family is a mix of ...

When you have skillfull personal, good food on board and good (and clean) installations but are unable to provide a good service, especially those announced in the daily board programm, it means that you are doing something wrong. Almost all the boat have included the excursion to Ephasus at 7:00 am. Breakfast was opened at 6:00 am. in both restaurants. Consequently, at 6:30 it was impossible to ...

This is the 5th cruise we were on and Celestyal was the worst experience we had! Staff was rude and it seemed as if they were all instructed to serve as less food as possible. At first we were a bit shy asking for another spoonful but once we realized it’s a tactic we became much more demanding. I guess they rely on people’s “shyness” We had the all inclusive drinks package and we had to ...

This ship is a refurbished Royal Caribbean ship that is in need of more refurbishment. My trip felt like more of a ferry ride, with passengers embarking and disembarking at many of the ports. There were very few Americans on board. While the cabin attendants were excellent, the rest of the service was definitely lacking. It was difficult to have our bread and water refilled in the dining room, ...

This cruise was part of a Globus land tour of Greece. Embarkation was one of the smoothest ever experienced I'm sure because the Ship was only 3/4 full. We enjoyed the free drink package at no extra cost which was a real treat. You had a great selection of beer, wine and spirts. The service aboard was both professional and extremely friendly. The food was fantastic! We ate in the main ...

I'll start by saying we travel a lot, but aren't "cruise people". We've only been on one other cruise. Most of our travel is self-booked, no groups, tours, etc. That said, we were looking to do something out of the ordinary and special for our 35th anniversary cruise, and had our sights set on exploring a few greek islands. After looking at options including cruises, flights, and water taxis, we ...

I was really looking forward for this vacation, but it became terrible after booking this cruise. The ship was small, old and there was really nothing to do onboard. They didn’t even have the pools available to swim. I have been in different cruises before and I figured it was alright since the port destinations would make up for it. I was wrong, the excursions available were very unorganized. ...

It started with watching the guys throwing our bags on the conveyor belt and when we received our bags the handle was broken , the bag was brand new bought for this trip now the extension handle is broken. The food was very poor especially the 2 bbqs the food was cold and all the meat so dry and tough , the corn was terrible as well we left a whole plate full of food. The entertainment was very ...

We chose this cruise because I had never visited the Greek islands. We only had 3-4 days to spare, so I chose the Iconic Aegean cruise. I've seen some negative reviews of Celestyal Olympia, but we had a great time. The food was good, the service was excellent, and the staff were pleasant, attentive and efficient. We chose a suite and we had ample space. The bed was comfortable and the AC ...
