Celebrity Cruises

My family did the 7-night cruise from Vancouver to Alaska back in 2008, when the Celebrity Infinity was still very new. From what we remember, it was a great experience! The crew were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and there were plenty of options available for the whole family. Our kids loved the Fun Factory and the salt water pool. The Hubbard Glacier was an incredible sight to see. Beautiful experience for the whole family. We would love to cruise to Alaska again on one their newer ships, the Celebrity Beyond or Celebrity Edge!

The Apex is absolutely the finest vessel and crew ever. The ship provided Eye Candy at every turn with exquisite appointments and beautiful statues and architecture. The amenities were too plentiful to mention but were entertaining and enjoyable. Every crew member (especially Douglas our stateroom attendant) was always pleasant, helpful and gracious. The Infinite Veranda State Room, even while open and sailing, kept us comfortably safe from the elements while offering a moving picture of two beautiful Baltic Archipelagos. The food, whether from a premium restaurant, dining room or buffet (always a Celebrity mainstay) exceeded my most critical expectations. Andrej, in the Tuscan Dining Room, was however the best waiter by far. The excursions were well executed and offered a good perspective of the port cities, with knowledgeable guides and information. The Best of Scandinavia Itinerary was a bucket list tour and the Apex has ruined me for any other ship class future vacation. Thank you Celebrity for an incredible experience!

Best experience ever!! Staff and entertainment on the Celebrity Reflections were phenomenal!! Thanks for such a great experience for our first cruise and anniversary. Food and drinks were all perfect and even offered a full course meal every night specifically for me b/c of dietary restrictions. They went above and beyond what was expected. Make sure to get drink package and gratuities included to make your experience much better. Well worth the money for Classic package and lots to choose from.

We cruised on Celebrity Eclipse and it was incredible experience. From the cleanliness of ALL facilities, to the decor to incredibly lovely and professional staff to the charisma of captain Leo! I personally also enjoyed that there weren't many children around. Generally speaking the crowd was older on this ship, making the trip more restful and peaceful. If I were to give all the details, this would be an essay, and I will be creating a YouTube video with more details. The food was extremely delicious, we personally didn't find any need to go to specialty restaurants as the food in the included restaurants was superb. We loved the guest entertainers as well as the onboard musicians and lectures. Huge thanks to Kelly, the cruise director as we asked for a Salsa night and she organized it. The room (we had a balcony cabin) was fantastic, spacious, clean, well looked after and had everything you may need to have a relaxing time. Sliding balcony door is a plus also- they do not take up space to open, as I've had swing doors on some other company ships. We didn't get an opportunity to try room service as we were enjoying heading out to eat, but it looked super easy to order through the Interactive TV set. And last but not least - one of the best onboard gyms i have been to also. It literally had everything you could need and more. It was great to see the captain team working out and keeping healthy as well. So much more can be said, but in summary - highly recommend.

Cabo fr LA 6 nights Not the best experience, tablet at check didn’t work, had to go to a different person redo everything I did on the app check in, line at the buffet, line at the dining, entertainment for dress up night was not good Staff didn’t offer regular drinks at the buffet, only bar service,…didn’t seem welcoming on the ship… Why is there an immigration inspection for LA to Mexico cruise first time on the Celebrity, ruined the vacation vibe with long lines….👎🏼 like the overall decor that’s it! There are better cruise lines out there…,

The Celebrity Apex was an amazing ship! This newer ship is ultra modern and very elegant. The layout is easy to navigate, and the decor is gorgeous! I enjoyed the premium beverage package which included champagne, fresh squeezed juices (found at the spa cafe), and upgraded liquor. This package certainly allows the opportunity to relax and order off the bar, coffee bar, restaurants, and spa cafe menus without giving a second thought as to what you might be accumulating in additional fees. There may be situations where you pay a small fee for an elevated version of a beverage, as I found in Eden restaurant with the exotic craft cocktails, but at $2 more this was nothing to be concerned about and well worth the price. The main bar in the lobby of the shop is gorgeous and very eye catching. The illuminated columns change colors and are synced with the music. The bartenders really put the effort in to provide A+ service and put on an energetic show. Live entertaining is featured, and a large, elegant Christmas tree covered in lights is set up just off the dance floor for the holidays (just after Thanksgiving for my trip). A beautiful backdrop for photos. The silent disco also took place in this area on some nights. The coffee bars are always a joy to visit (on deck 4 and 14 near the buffet). A never ending availability of options to order as far as drink types. The creamer, alcohol and syrup options give you plenty of ways to concoct your own exotic beverage. I highly recommend the Aspen Coffee! The food options were excellent; the buffet on deck 14 always had an abundance of fresh food with great variety and quite a bit of seafood. Servers would stop by and take beverage orders as you dined which I found to be very convenient. Although the standard restaurant options all provided for an amazing dining experience. I highly recommend upgrading and trying Eden which I found to be my absolute favorite meal on the ship. The lobster was by far the best I have ever tasted, and the butterscotch crème brûlée was by far the best dessert on the ship. The Sommelier was a delight and extremely personable and helpful. La Petit Chef was also not to be missed! The projections are so well executed and charming, and the way each food course was presented was like art. Delicious meal! Be aware that with the standard restaurants that you can order items enjoyed in one location at another if not present on the menu (ex. Dining at Cosmopolitan and you wish for the Saganaki enjoyed at Cyprus). We were very pleased with all of the menu items at each location. We typically dined in a group of 5 and ordered several plates to share to sample as many items as possible which I highly recommend. We felt the meals were made with exceptional gourmet quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. We did not dine at Blu was this was reserved for the Aqua level guests, but have to praise the gorgeous decor! The pool was very well laid out. We were fortunate enough to always secure a lounger, and the submerged loungers were fantastic! We loved Richard and Pizzaro at the pool bar; always full of energy and ready to greet you with a smile. The Magic Carpet was such an enjoyable spot for a drink which I highly recommend. The elevated hot tubs are available for all guests (some were confused and thought that due to the entrance on 15 that you needed to be a retreat guest which was not the case.). The Club was wonderful and provided for a great way to continue the fun into the later hours. Plenty of couches for lounging and people watching or socializing, while the dance floor was always inviting while the DJ spun a variety of genres of music. We also had fun hiding “Cruising Ducks” (if you are not aware of this tradition, do look it up; it is another way to make the experience memorable for others). Overall, I would absolutely recommend this beautiful ship. By far the most memorable and enjoyable vacation I have taken to date. I am now hooked on Celebrity and looking forward to booking another cruise!

Definitely not worth the price for limited activities and inability to stabilize ship to not rock (causing seasickness across the boat passengers), even in calmer water. Celebrity Ascent. If you like to eat, drink, and gamble and 65 and older probably a good option. If have kids of any age, better on Carnival or Royal Carribean. We will not be back.
