Celebrity Cruises Reviews

We were celebrating our one-year wedding anniversary. I was working with Avoya Travel to book our cruise with Celebrity. They made things very easy and answered all of our question in a timely manner. The cruise staff were extremely polite and professional. The ease of the embarkation was delightful. The food was incredible, the boat was beautiful. It was a wonderful experience, and we can't wait for the next adventure. Thank you!

As always, the Summit does a great job. Great food, great service and entertainment!

Food used to be better

Our first Celebrity cruise did not disappoint! There were four of us and we booked it through Shelley Henderson and I’ve used her to book several cruises. Great rates! We loved the cruise ship, ports, crew and food. The only drawback for us was that it was spring break so lots of children taking over pools and hot tubs but that is expected for the time of year.

I had often thought of driving down the West Coast, from San Francisco to San Diego. The cost always brought me up short. Airfare, rental car, gas, hotels, meals...it adds up quickly. So, when I discovered a cruise, I jumped at the chance. Now that I've been home for a week, I can look back on the cruise and review it fairly. The embarkation process was confusing; however, it went quickly. Our room was ready. We then went out to explore the ship. We have cruised on other lines, Carnival and Norwegian. The layout of the Solstice was different. It took a while to get used to it. Dining was different as well. Our main dining room assigned us a table, then moved us. We enjoyed having a table for two. Sitting with six other people was not comfortable for us. So, we ate most of our meals at the buffet. The food was great. They also lay the buffet out differently as well. I spent a great deal of time looking for what I wanted. The entertainment was not up to our expectations. I think we expected what we found on our Norwegian cruises and didn't get it. I think many of the guests on the cruise enjoyed themselves. We did not.

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this cruise and its' staff on the Edge. Ship was beautiful, crew was amazing. Would be hard to pick out a crew member that was our favorite, they all were outstanding from our room steward, to the restaurant staff, and the entertainment performers. Highly suggest this trip to all.

Most of the cruise was uneventful and exceeded expectations in many areas . Cabin Attendant was fantastic as well as dining room staff (waiter/assistant waiter) and generally the whole dining staff. Cruise director was the best we have ever had had over approximately 12-14 cruises we have been on with various cruise lines. even our excursions we picked we great. However, our stateroom bedding was horrible. the mattress on one side had a permanent indention that cause back pain. To mitigate this the cabin attendant was able to flip the mattress around so at least the indention was closer to the foot of the bed. Apparently, no replacement was available. The second issue was the cabin attendant must have had a mold or other unseen issue because it affected our sinus to the point by the end of the cruise my spouse had laryngitis. This must have built up over the 11 nights. I would be very weary of another Celebrity ship that hasn't been renovated because it doesn't seem that they keep up with cleanliness.

Ship was nice. We were on deck 11. So we did have some noise when they were washing the pool deck above our room. Like a drinking sound for much of the night. Room person was kind and friendly but he had trouble managing his rooms. Some nights we had to wait for him to turn down the beds until 9:00. Most night we were busy doing things but some nights we wanted to just go to the room and lay in bed. The pool deck was overly crowded. I was surprised to see the staff start to take peoples stuff off chairs and put it in a big back and take to guest services after it rained for a little while. People were so mad when they came back to empty chairs and had no idea what happened. We saw the deck people take our stuff and went and took it before it was too late. I was concerned the ship ran out of Coke Zero. First when we first boarded and again mid cruise. I was puzzled by this. Also the dinner buffet was noticeable reduced. They ran out of the few things they were offering on some nights. I had to take mushrooms from the salad bar over to the stir fry station to be cooked for dinner. Then the salad bar ran out of mushrooms too. The pool deck did not have room like old ships for dance class. Had to go to the roof top to do those classes. Super windy up on top so harder to move with confidence. Embarkation and debarkation was very smooth and easy. We walked on and off with all our luggage which made things much easier. We are planning on taking this ship on a Thanksgiving trip with the family. At least we know what to expect.

First family trip in a long time. Had concerns because the boat was older but none of those concerns came true. The ship was wonderful. There was a problem with sun deck being on the same deck as the walking track. Many walkers were upset when people repositioned their chairs. I liked the pool deck because there was a lot of space for the dance classes and exercises classes right next to the pool. The room was fine except saying that having a 3rd person in a room was a bit of a stretch. The couch/slash bed was small and made it difficult to move around at all in the cabin. There was not enough space for clothes in the cabin with 3 adults. Can’t image if we wanted to have 4 people. The activities were good. We played a lot of trivia which was a fun family thing. We used the card room most night s which is something Celebrity removed from newer boats. Too bad because it was used every night. We chose not to do ship excursions but to plan our own. Worked out for us. Planning on going on this same ship next year. I am looking forward to sailing on the Equinox again.

The cruise was excellent, we only cruise Celebrity cruise line !!

I really enjoyed bringing in my 40th birthday on this cruise. The staff made me feel special. The Bartender Marshall was the greatest. He kept making my drinks the way I liked them. The entertainment was beautiful. I really enjoyed seeing N'Kenge performances. The different events they had plan was ok. It should have been more games and movies. This ship was the luxurious.

good itinerary, good food, good service

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our Celebrity Equinox Cruise beginning Feb. 18th. The ship was beautiful and the excursions surpassed our expectations. We especially appreciated having a travel agent on board who could answer our questions. The excursion provided on Aruba was nice but there were difficulties with organization and coordination with the other two buses. Thanks for all you did. We would definitely consider Avoya in the future. Bobbi Pearson

We had a wonderful cruise thanks

Good cruise weather poor day-time activities lacking food very good staff also very good

Our first cruise, won’t be our last!

The ship was amazing, a floating city with so much to do, friendly staff, delicious food, excellent service. Staterooms were comfortable and clean. Weather was beautiful. I loved the islands. They had beautiful beaches and marine life with scuba diving and turquoise waters. I especially enjoyed the shows on the ship in the evenings. The talent was outstanding and such variety !! I loved my cruise.

The Celebrity cruise was a lot of fun, the crew was great, the cruise director (Alejandro) was exceptional, the naturalist was informative and a great speaker. The sights were incredible.

The dinner service was not up to par. some of the food such as the sliced lamb was hard to cut and very tough. The somelier was excellent as the room attendent.

We had a wonderful, short trip about the Celebrity Silhouette. We enjoyed our stay in a Sky Suite and took full advantage of the Retreat Louge, Sundeck and enjoyed every meal in Luminae. The service was impeccable.

Swore off Celebrity years ago. However, this sailing was convenient so we booked it. Pleasantly surprised with better entertainment and toning down of the 'upsell'.
