Celebrity Rome (Civitavecchia) Cruise Reviews

The food in the dining room at times was inedible. The chef of 32-years with Celebrity did a presentation of the secrets of pastry making was charismatic but disclosed that he has overseen movement to buy some goods rather than utilize kitchen staff to make common dishes. Unfortunately this decision has destroyed the reputation for the quality of food on the Celebrity Cruise Line which is one of ...

This is our 5th T/A crossing and it was one we could without. Some people like this ship but to us it was old and dark, I mean that literally. Half the lights in main dining were out and never came on for the whole cruise. Also if you were seated on the second level your food was cold most of the time. Forget about getting someone to clean the mold in the shower and the cabin attendant forgot to ...

The ship is nice. I had a solo cabin which was very good/comfortable for 1 person. The service on the ship was good, The ship is very clean. The unlimited internet package was fast. I could not eat the food in the main restaurants. The quality was not acceptable. Breakfast however was ok. But its ridiculous that you have to pay for a cappuccino for Breakfast. The drinks ...

Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, the worst cruise experience we’ve ever had. We were booked into a Sky Suite on deck 11 and on the very first day I noticed a musty odor as we opened the cabin door for the first time. My partner didn’t smell it so I simply chalked it up to a typical ‘down south smell’ that you often get in warmer, humid ...

The service, staff, entertainment, food and amenities all amazing. Menus in four main restaurants were not very varied however food was always good. The Oceanview Cafe selections were outstanding however the cafe was always crowded and there were often lineups for some foods…and of course some folks simply ignored the queue and just barged in!! The amenities-pools, cafes, bars, sewing ...

Our recent transatlantic cruise aboard the Beyond (Oct 30 – Nov 13) was, unfortunately, a terrible disappointment. My 60th birthday celebration turned into an endurance exercise and we could not wait for it to end. Frankly the worst experience we’ve ever had. We were in The Retreat, in a Sky Suite. We had previously cruised in April 2022, on the Apex [Retreat - Sky Suite - Ft Lauderdale to ...

Have sailed 7 plus times with celebrity on The Silhouette, The Reflection and the Beyond. Have always been impressed with the cruise if not the Customer service which is NOT fir for purpose. however this time I have realized the changes made by the new CEO on 15.08.2023 have made this frankly a poor class budget cruise line with high end prices !! The first and most alarming issue was that the ...

So here I am in my $17,000 stateroom. First thing is the system won’t allow me to access my premium WiFi. It’s included but obviously not properly programmed in the system. Have to start my vacation waiting in line for a retreat host to fix it. Why not just fix the programming? Then I come across filth on at least two surfaces in the room, both looking suspiciously like dried blood. The container ...

We chose this cruise to tick off a few things on our bucket list. Acropolis, Olympia. The chance to visit Rhodes and return to Malta was a bonus. Returning to Reflection for a second time was a bonus as we previously really enjoyed the ship and its staff. Having sailed Celebrity 12 months ago, we did see a slight decline in choice MDR menus, also cheaper options for evening entertainment ...

This review reflects our experiences on our recent cruise, reflects our personal preferences, and reflects what we have come to expect based on more than 35 cruises. This cruise was overall a very pleasant experience and is getting close to the pre-covid experience. PRE-CRUISE: We drove to Ft. Lauderdale the day before the cruise and stayed at the Homewood Suites in Dania Beach ($269/night). ...
