Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

The ship meets with all my expectations since this is my third Celebrity cruises and I look foward to cruise on Celebrity Reflection next year. The only major drawback is the casino as it is very tight which is the reason it does not have too many repeated clients. I'm glad that the slot machine is so tight that I just played for the first few days and quit it altogether. I used to go to the casino every night on other cruises. In a way I save my money but no fun.........

the crew were nice,the food was good...plenty to see...had a wonderful time

Love the ship itself especially our family promenade stateroom which was huge and comfortable. I would recommend this room even if you are only 3-4 people. Lots of stuff to do though weather was not good, enjoyable shows. We were not able to hang out in the pool coz it was 60 plus degrees, cloudy and windy. Good cruise for the value. Check-in and check out was very organized and quick

If this ship was supposed to be EPIC, I missed it. Ship is huge and the elevators/stairs only at each end make movement difficult. Food was non-remarkable matched only by minimal service in the restaurants. Getting a second cup of coffee in the morning was not going to happen! Staterooms were miniscule but balcony was large, though never cleaned! After using 3 other cruise lines, NCL was a major disappointment.

The ship is beautiful, the food on board is good quality and varied, the ports of call were excellent. The service was exceptional. Even though the ship was at full capacity, the staff always had a smile and a greeting.

My wife and I were favorably impressed with the size, beauty and cleanliness of this ship in addition to the professionalism and dedication excercised by all members of the crew and staff.

For an immense ship, this ship does not feel crowded. Exception to this rule would be meal time but there are many choices aboard. We found the specialty coffee bar (not free - get a drink package) to be exceptional. Bars were wonderful with special shout out to the "Molecular Bar" where delicious concoctions are created. Hot tub is average. Kind of shallow and not that comfortable unless you're alone and can spread out. Aqua spa is overpriced and overrated. Save your money. Shore excursions are hit or miss, I would suggest go with the ones that allow you free time because the "scripted" ones leave you wanting more time to experience ports of call on your own. Read up on the ports of call to see what pros like Rick Steves has to say about shore excursions. You don't need one in every port! Staff on board was exceptional in every way! These guys really want to make your vacation as good as possible! Very personable and friendly.

Simply laid out, elegantly decorated.

For a first time cruise, my expectiations were exceeded.

We loved the Navigator. It was a great layout and the Promonade is a really nice meeting and hangout spot. This made me look forward to taking another Royal Caribbean Cruise soon!

Great service, Shanghai restaurant's food not too impress but service was great . Great entertainment, We had a wonderful time.

Very good! The service was excellent! Food at all times! The international cafe one of my favorate places as it is a place to relax and have a cup of coffee and have something to eat as right next to it there was a place to eat snacks...etc. We had the anytime dinner plan and the wait was almost null! The menu very diverse and included dishes low in calories. Room service also excellent! The shows were very good! There is always something going on to do like, ballroom dance classes, bingo, games...etc. Tours were very organized, and thank God there were no mishappenings during the trip.

We did not like the "FreeStyle" Dining. We never built a repoir w/ the Dining Staff. Never had good tasting Beef, whether steaks nor Meat Loaf ... not once. Service was lacking in Dining rooms, State rooms, Guest Relations Desks, Excursions. We had a Family Balcony Staterooom on the 14th floor and they were cramped feeling. The new "wave" design in the rooms make for poor usage of space. The On-Board Entertainment was incredible, ie Blue Man Group and Cirque Dreams/Dinner.

Although the decor was too loud, the ship was well laid out and comfortable.

Consistent performance by ship's staff including food, room, service, excursions, port picks, etc. Nothing outstanding, but all very good.

The ship was beautiful - the staff was outstanding - any request we had was immediately taken care of - everyone was friendly - the rooms were clean and there was enough storage space - didn't feel cramped - the bathroom was roomy and loved the shower with the round doors - food was wonderful and our nightly waiter, Ninga, was outstanding!!!! The Captain was approachable and very warm and funny - plus he did an outstanding job of navigating around the Greek Isles. All in all it was a fantastic trip!!!!!

The ship was nice. It was a large ship and did not seem too overcrowded. The elevators were delayed at times but nothing too drastic or inconvenient. The ship is an older model, but the maintainers do an excellent job keeping it clean and updated. Some of the trim and finishing was starting to show age though.

The ship was clean and always on time. The food on the Windjammer was great. I actually liked it better then main dining. The head waiter I talked to about gluten free was nice and helpful. Our room and balcony view were great.

The ship was breathtaking. It was very clean and the people in the dining rooms, bars, and our stateroom attendant were just fabulous. The Adventure Ocean program was beyond wonderful. They really made the kids enjoy the cruise.
