Review summary

Celebrity took away our $400 onboard credit. Will never cruise with them again.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Embarrassing. A young associate asked to see our NZ visas and shook her head and shuffled us to a table where she said the visas weren’t ok. After the new person checked them, they were of course more than adequate. So the first associate said ‘Aren’t you thrilled you can get off the ship at the ports in NZ? We were not impressed!
