Celestyal - Celestyal Journey Reviews

Cruise was good and service staff was excellent. Would have like a little more shopping time when I’m an excursion

Very well organized cruise, good tours and guides, comfortable cabin, good and varied food food. Very pleased with the trip.

Ports and excursions were great! Loved the room- lots of space as far as cruises go. Staff was excellent- could not ask for more of the staff. Food availability and quality were lacking. We only dined at the specialty restaurants twice- one was less than average with subpar service and the other (same restaurant) was excellent. Seating for the buffet was often hard to find unless you got to the seating area early and staked out a table. Food was good on some nights (French) and awful on others (Asian). Coffee not available at lunch or dinner and ice had to be obtained at bar areas (no self-serve ice)- iced tea not available at all. Hours between the lunch and dinner buffet- the only option was the Greek grill with sandwich or pizza- there was also no soda available for those hours. No other options available at all between lunch and dinner (which is often when the excursions were over). The only ice cream was available at an additional cost (so no desert options between lunch and dinner buffet). There were lots of options at the buffet- but specialty food nights were hit or miss. Desert, salad and fruit were always a good option. Would have been a 5-star experience with better food and beverage availability, more seating at the buffet (especially tables that were NOT high tops) and a greater variety of dining options (such as burgers or sandwiches available all the time) that were not an additional fee.
