This was our first cruise, an 11 night Eastern Mediterranean itinerary, & we booked it for a great price without knowing too much about the industry at first. Reading other reviews of the Epic on this site we were slightly worried, but we needn't have been - the ship is fantastic, & we couldn't have asked for better.
Looking at the detail of others' criticisms it seems many of the issues being ...
Worst experience i’ve ever had in my entire life. My 11 month old daughter had 3 asthma attacks while onboard because our ac wouldn’t work. They just kept saying it was fine. The housekeeping made my grandfathers bunk while we were at dinner and slung his pill dispenser off the bed, spilled all the prescription pills everywhere and left them without telling anyone it happened. Nobody knew until my ...
Much needed break for the holiday.
Embarkation at Port Everglades was pretty smooth-20 minutes from Arrival to on the ship.
The Ruby had just been fixed up in dry dock. She looks good for a 2008 Grand girl.
It was really good to be back at sea. We used the Princess Plus package which was a nice option for trying drinks, I normally wouldn't have ordered. The package includes specialty ...
This cruse on the Silhouette was my first cruise on Celebrity Cruise Lines. I had been told the food was excellent. I found it average to poor. What was worse, unless you shelled out more money for a specialty restaurant the only options you had were the one MDR, the buffet, or a top side snack bar. I have sailed NCL and all their ships have two MDR (Same menu, different vibe), an oriental ...
The cruise overall was…
Overall our experience was Positive, however it is marketed as an upscale experience and we didn’t find it much more upscale than RCL standard.
The entertainment was actually very good! There were 2 Production shows, both awesome and creative!
Out of 5 stars..

Other cruise lines that we have sailed with were not available so my travel agent suggested MSC. We researched the Magnifica and were pleased with what we read. They did a great job of describing the ship however it wasn't at all like what we read. First of all, I will say the staff is wonderful and so nice! We chose to do Atlantis as an excursion and we had a blast so highly recommend you ...
The wonderful crew, fun excursions and for the most part good food could not make up for the most uncomfortable cabin I have ever experienced. I had been on this ship before but in an ADA cabin for someone with a motorized wheelchair. On this cruise I was in a regular balcony cabin. We had not gotten an ADA cabin but told Norwegian that we needed to be near the elevator because my cabin ...
Boarding and First Impressions:
Embarking on the Celebrity Silhouette was a bit of a waiting game due to weather delays at Port Everglades, resulting in a two-hour postponement. However, the actual boarding process was commendably efficient, setting a positive tone despite the initial setback.

We cruised from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama Canal and back to Ft. Lauderdale. The embarkation was very easy and smooth. No complaints about that. We had stops in Montego Bay, Cartagena, Limon and Grand Cayman. We could have skipped Montego Bay and Cartagena. The guide on the excursion in Montego Bay just spoke about the poverty on the island. Not what we were looking for. Cartagena excursion ...
I have been on many cruises and many on Carnival. Overall, I have loved the Carnival brand. It is a good value for money. However, the Sunshine is very well past her prime. Not only is it an old ship but I found it to be very dirty. The crew also don’t seem to be as on top of their game as on other ships. Slow service and not as welcoming. The layout is bizarre. It felt more crowded and ...
