I have cruised and traveled all over the world for 40 yrs. Crystal, Seabourn, Viking, etc.
My Rating:
The Flora Ship 6 out of 10.
The crew 9 out 10.
The food 5 out 10.
Regular cabin with balcony, 4 out 10.
The excursions and what we actually experienced 2 out 10.
Excursions were the MAJOR disappointment of the trip. Considering the time, energy and money expended on ...
The ship and rooms are very nice. The staff in general very friendly. BUT,!
The customer service and organization is poor. Over priced excursions, so most book through someone else. We cruised Australia and had 4 ports that used Tenders to shore. The Tender process was terrible, wait times of 1-2 hours to get on a tender, 30 minute boat ride and then the piers were 30 mins from town. ...
1. The infinite balcony is simply not a balcony; it’s a sunroom with a window that opens. No more debate needed.
2. Our 15th cruise and we missed our balcony but didn’t hate the sunroom concept. On sea days, when the decks are crowded, we missed the option of being able to sit out on our own balcony.
3. The fitness center was small and mostly crowded, especially on sea days. Miss the ...
Just got off celebrity Ascent out of Fort Lauderdale. We chose to get into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood the day before and stay at hotel. We had a concierge room and a 12:30 boarding time. We decided to get to port at 11:30 and wait in the area. Well, We called for Uber (15$ compared to shuttle from hotel 15$ each) at 10:28 AM, Uber picked us up at 10:30, we were at terminal at 10:45 expecting to ...
Old Ship, Older Cruise Port Terminal. This was an issue for those that used they own vehicle to the port. Never received notification from Celebrity that they was no parking garage at this terminal. Fast Embarkation Process.
Cabin – Old furniture including a couch that had many rips. Limited storage and counter space. Nice shower with glass doors vs a curtain and a nice large ...
We just completed (Feb 2024) a five day cruise on Celebrity Summit, from Miami, with port calls in Nassau and Cozumel. I was very excited when we booked the cruise last September, but became apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on cruise critic. However, I am happy to report that we truly enjoyed our five days on the Summit. From the moment we stepped on the ship, to the moment we left ...
Smallest ship we’ve been on but it surpassed our expectations. Felt modern, clean and was actually really nice and we had a great 5 days. The food was fantastic, in the dining room and the buffet. The pool area was nice besides the usual annoying people who ‘reserve’ their sunbed and use them for half an hour the whole day!!! The staff do nothing.
Our cabin was interior and very big. Really ...
This was our 6th cruise with Celebrity. We are in our eighties and have cruised 19 times. This was a cruise to the Dutch Islands of the Caribbean. As usual we made use of an outstanding cruise consultant with Expedia Cruises.
All the necessary information is on the Celebrity web site. The Celebrity App is really needed to avoid confusion. However, in our case, going cruising is ...
This was the worst cruise we’ve ever been on. Food was awful and inedible. Absolutely horrible with no flavor. There wasn’t even a dessert that was good. I don’t know how you mess up cake. It was like eating a pile of sand. The apples in the apple tart tasted like chemicals. I hardly ate anything all week. Only one restaurant that’s included.
Our bathroom had a constant puddle on the floor ...
The Good -
This is a smaller ship so slightly more personal touch than the larger ships and you will meet the same people and recognize faces fairly quickly. The facilities on board are fairly limited compared to the more modern larger ships but none the less still very good.
The restaurants in particular Luminae for suite guests were very good - slightly limited standard menu but the food ...
