Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Great design, spacious room and well planned and executed entertainment events

We had a wonderful experience. Cruise was clean and food was awesome. Entire crew did a fantastic job. Our teenage kids made friends and were not bored. They did not like the Club HAL meant for smaller kids. BB kings, Dance group, and all musicians were awesome.

It was an enjoyable holiday and a great way to spend Christmas. Though Reflection is an older ship, it was still well maintained. Service was always good (but slow in the main and specialty dining rooms). Staff was always friendly and helpful. We had a great time!

Rain or shine with mostly rain, the trip went to fast. Everyone we met and attended to us were just as excited the entire time. We went to create memories and that we did.

The cruise provided excellent accommodation, and the restaurants were above average. Because of limited seating reservations were recommended, the reservations could be made 45 days prior to sailing but were limited to less than half the number of cruise days. However there was little entertainment offered. The main venue held about 450 and backup venue about 150, the ship was designed to carry 2,700 passengers. Consequently seeing a show required booking and the available times were limited. There were three shows, one was a cirque du soleil like enactment of Romeo and Juliet, the cast showed tremendous ability and courage. Of the other two one was a "game show", which showed little evidence of prior thought, the final one was a variety type format, including a number of performers some of whom mirrored the Romeo and Juliet show. The ship public areas seemed to be all on hallways, there were few (no) quiet areas. Total reliance on a phone base app for all reservations, activities etc. amplified any wifi issues. Using the premium onboard wifi (extra $80) allowed connection at around 5 Mbs, but the nature of the satellite link caused some sites to refuse connection. Although the cruise covered Christmas, no Christmas themed efforts, decorations etc were made by the crew. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone wishing to enjoy more than a pool and a bar

we cruised with Oceania already 14 times and will continue to go with them; they have the best food on board, it's a small ship, nice people. They have drawbacks, like the lounge chair situation and the entertainment, but one cannot get everything. We are there to be pampered and relaxing. And this is what we can do on these ships. Booked already for next year.

This trip with my family was SPECTACULAR!!! I love this cruise line and will be back again. the crew was so helpful and it was super fun!

Besides the bad weather, the food was no as good as expected.

Overall, Celebrity get an A on this cruise ship and the itinerary. The ship activities for Christmas and New Year's were well orchastrated and much fun. Even though the ship was short staffed, the existing staff worked diligently to make for a good time. I have already booked another cruise on the Equinox for a different itinerary...so looking forward to it!

I highly recommend this ship! This is my 2nd time on Oasis! I sailed Allure this summer as well and have sailed on Harmony of the Seas! The layout if amazing. The staff is AMAZING! The rooms are terrific. Specialty dining is great! I love it!

We had a great time, we were celebrating our March 3, 2022 wedding. I would caution people to realize that everything is extra and the costs can add up very quickly. Because of this we don't know when we will take another cruise vacation but I was so happy to be able to share this experience with my new husband who had never been on a cruise.

To set the background for my review, this was our 2nd cruise on Celebrity and our 23rd cruise overall.  We previously cruised on the Celebrity Mercury many years ago to Alaska.  We booked this cruise to travel with friends and see 6 islands we have never visited before.  Our cruise took place over Christmas and the New Year holiday.  We did not have any issues with COVID, and we felt that this was the first cruise that we gave little thought to the virus.  Overall, we enjoyed this cruise and are planning to take future cruises on Celebrity.  Like every cruise we have been on, we found that there was a lot of good and a few things that we wished were different.  I am writing a detailed description of our experience to help future travelers.

After easy embarkation process, the cruise set sail weathering a storm out of New York with minimal turbulence felt aboard. Food, cabin and entertainment all par excellence! All the Caribbean ports lovely. Cruise ended with well organized disembarkation. As a solo traveler, I was extremely happy!!!

could not get credit for the free cruise we won on the last sailing of the getaway out of new York in 2020. may not do Norwegian anymore

NEVER AGAIN We have this ship booked for February and are trying to transfer to another ship. We are frequent Sapphire guests on NCL and have loved the Gem before, but it is time to get her a facelift and staff her appropriately. They can sell her but will continue to get bad reviews for the ship and the company. we heard them all over the ship. Very disappointing cruise!

I had a pleasant experience but the ship was old and breaking down constantly. We did not suffer for it but I heard from others that they had awful experiences with broken bathrooms, Televisions, the ship was squeaking all night from the motion of the ocean etc. The cabins are small and the buffet is the smallest I have ever seen. Furthermore most of the ports were very poor and run down islands that we really did not enjoy. There was nothing to do but MAYBE go to the beach, see one church and a plantation. Not good options AT ALL.

For me the perfect long weekend get away. 4 nights was perfect.

Overall, I think this is an okay cruise and itinerary for a first time cruiser as everything was adequate. But, having been on several cruises and most recently a new ship, we were very disappointed. We expected more from "Celebrity" and felt it was more expensive than it was worth.

Having sailed on the Summit's "sister ship" the Constellation, I was looking forward to seeing and experiencing the Summit as it has been "recently refurbished" I will take the not refurbished "Connie" anytime over the Summit. The lighting in the cabin was very poor--I had to use my mobile phone flashlight to view my clothing and safe in the 2 door wardrobe. The same for the shower--I felt like I was showering in the dark. The bathroom sink area is miniscule with no counter area for toiletries--there are two very small wall shelves that are used for bar soap and two glasses. There were a number of large stains in the carpet. I have sailed on Celebrity a number of times including Alaska and the Caribbean and have always been vey pleased and always recommend the line to friends--NO LONGER. After arriving home I canceled my reservation (with some costs) for a 15 night transatlantic cruise in April 2023. I can't imagine I will be onboard another Celebrity cruise anytime in the future.

Great short getaway out of Galveston. Room was perfect for me and my two teenagers. Loved having a balcony to enjoy the views while being protected from the wind.
