First time cruising with celebrity,after 3 previous cruises with royal Caribbean and po
Expected to get a five star cruise and was disappointed,firstly we had problems with anytime dining,you weren't allowed to dine anytime.The first evening we were told our dining time was 9.30pm and couldn't be changed,we were told we couldn't book a table between 6.30-8.30pm as that was the busiest time.We did manage to book a table for 8.30pm every night but that was after a lot of complaining.
Our table was changed nearly every night so we didn't get to know our waiters.The menu choice was very limited and not very exciting very repetitious .if you wanted a special meal you had to pay another 45dollars each to dine in the speciality restaurants.
Cabin was a decent size and comfortable bed ,nice having a sea view but very noisy on days we were tendered as they assembled tender platform outside our window
Messina was a small village very expensive but has some nice shops in quaint cobbled streets
Very small but nice
Rhodes was an enjoyable town had an old town inside the city walls and a new part outside the city walls ,
Took cable car up from port everything on a hill not suitable if you aren't good at walking
Took open top bus from the port to the accroppolis then transferred to another bus to do the city tour both were very good
Walked round shopping area and up some very narrow lanes with interesting shops all within 15mins walk from port
