A great cruise, just a few things that could make cruising even better!
Had a really great cruise with amazing staff, and lovely food, great facilities, clean rooms, plenty of places to sit by the pool, pretty decent entertainment for the most part, very very friendly and accommodating staff. There are a few things that let this cruise company down which are as follows: Drinks ! Their drinks on board are absolutely crazy expensive. I know a lot of people buy the drinks packages which I also think are overpriced, because everyone in your party has to have the same drinks package, and we really don’t drink enough to warrant a drinks package. Most of the bottles of (decent.) beer on board are $10 + which is very expensive. In all all inclusive hotels drinks are included in the price. I feel like this is something they should consider doing in the future, because it makes more sense. Hard sell. This cruise company is all about selling you drinks packages, specialty dining experiences anything they can try to sell you they will. On our last day at sea we paid extra for the wine tasting experience which was okay, but to me it felt like another way to try to get you to buy something. They was offering 30% off all wines featured in the wine tasting. We did wine tasting with another cruise company (Thompson’s) which was one of the worst cruises and cruise ships I have ever been on, but their wine tasting was more than just trying to sell you wine. It was an actual experience where they told you about the wines, whereas this wasn’t the case with celebrity. Disembarked. This is my final point. We had assumed that the final day we would be able to stay on board until our transfer later on in the afternoon was ready, but this was not the case. Instead we had to have breakfast by 8.30 we had nowhere to get changed, because apparently on the last day they close the changing rooms, and cover up all the pools. We did pay for 10 full nights of cruising, but this is not what we received unfortunately. Celebrity claim to be a 5 star cruising company, but if you stayed in a 5 stay hotel they wouldn’t make you leave the hotel with nowhere to go for hours. In my opinion not a 5 star cruise at all 4 stars maximum. The star rating would’ve been higher, especially had our dismemberment been smoother. I would probably still recommend celebrity cruises, but as I said there are a few areas that could definitely be improved.
