Review summary

Celebrity will not allow you to see the British open to it’s completion. Busses to Open are $500 or $350 more than taking the first class train. Busses were filthy and air conditioning did not work making it 90f or hotter for 90 minute ride. Busses depart 615 pm, an hour before the leaders finished. Cruise staff says that it was still a tour and offered nothing but “too bad” excuses. Cruise staff Perry promised we could stay to see the end of play on Sunday, but bus operator required to leave an hour before end of play.

Did u not know prior to the cruise that it's not possible to stay till the end. They usually state when the ship will depart. Same happened to my Husband in Toulon

Not good news for those of you on this cruise or for those of us who have been considering a theme cruise in order to attend a sporting event.
