We were looking forward to our first time sailing with Celebrity having previously tried P&O, Ambassador and Cunard (mainly TA on current QM but 1 med cruise on current QE) On TA crossings several people we've spoken to have commented that Celebrity's food was much better than Cunards so we were especially looking forward to the dining. We've always enjoyed the food on Cunard and found Ambassadors ...

It’s been a year since we cruised with Celebrity, and two years since we sailed on the Silhouette. So we were looking forward to this 8 night northern Spain and France cruise. The embarkation process was smooth, speedy and hassle free - we were on board within minutes of arriving at the terminal. However, being reunited with our luggage wasn’t without problems. Having waited several hours ...

Mostly enjoyed our second trip on the Silhouette. Food and entertainment were great and staff very friendly and helpful. The staff member for our room he could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Unfortunately for the second time (we have only had two cruises!) we both contracted COVID which ruined the last couple of days (I was unable to visit Bayeux - the highlight of my trip). Upon ...

We hadn’t cruised for some years due to COVID and illness and decided to take this no-fly itinerary on ship we last cruised on in 2015 after a number of previous Celebrity cruises. Our overall impression was that the ship was much more crowded than on past cruises and this was most evident in the Ocean View Cafe and the sun decks where finding a sun bed proved an almost impossible task, despite ...

A little bit about ourselves first. Me and my husband are seasoned cruisers, approx 20 so far with the last 8 being on the s class ships. We travelled with my sister and brother in law - cruise virgins. Embarkation was a breeze we were on board by 11.30, no long queues, checked in at the muster station and then dropped off hand luggage in our staterooms. We had adjoining staterooms deck 8 just ...

We chose this cruise for its itinerary, our Steward, Waiter, Assistant Waiter and Sommelier where brilliant considering the amount of tables/cabins they had to cover, however they were let down by the choice and standard of food in the Main Dining Room, choices for starters usually 2 or 3 Salads 2 types of Soups and Snails and Shrimp Cocktail. Main courses not much better and frequently the food ...

After around 20 cruises, this was our first Med. - and our last. The Silhouette which we had been on twice before was very crowded, I believe the passenger capacity has been increased and it showed. Full sunloungers, extremely difficult to get a seat in the evening and constantly running the gamut of the numerous motorised scooters - not wheelchairs I must add. More smokers than I have ever ...

Started writing this review mid way through the cruise as a way of managing my disillusionment, which will give you some idea of how bad it was. tl:dr version - horrified at how far celebrity has fallen, won't be coming back. For context this was our 3rd time with Celebrity. And it will be our last. I noticed a theme with these cruisecritic reviews, but dismissed it (as we had already ...

Great ship and great food and service - let down slightly by lack of sunbeds due to school hols and full ship.

We choose this cruise as I was restricted to the date and amount of time I could have off. We have sailed in the past with Carnival, Ncl, P&O and finally celebrity - this was our 1st Celebrity cruise - and what I can say is that the service on celebrity is better than those other cruise lines. This was our longest cruise being 13 days - with 7 sea days including (departure day) The sea ...

We had serious concerns about the drop in standards due to covid cut backs after our 2022 cruise but as we had booked this 2023 cruise we were hoping that things had significantly improved. However based on the issues below that have been reported to celebrity directly, we will not be cruising with them again: 1) Quality of white wines specifically and standard champagne were atrociously bad. I ...
