Review summary

Loved Iceland and Ireland. We will be back but not on This ship

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Great but the paperwork was all done is one big hall at the dock. Long wait. Then you had to wait for a bus to take you to the ship. Again long wait. Dublin needs to get a cruise terminal ASAP

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was not the best in the dining room. Eg. first night cold steak. Second night two vegetarian pasta dishes, another night part of husbands food missing. Ocean cafe was great every time we went food tops.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Outdoor pool too cold so everyone in heated pool. Bit over crowded due to weather Husband loved the gym

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Great. But wanted more particularly on cold wet days everyone in doors

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room Stewart’s was the best. Waiters in dining room slow. Took 1/2hr just to get water then another wait from menu. Etc. I think they were in training

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Did not seem crowded clean most areas. Just ocean cafe window shelves had food etc on the fir 4 days until a gentleman ask the supervisor for a vacuum. Why- so he could cleaned! The supervisor got the message loud and clear that the staff needed to be more diligent

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Great cabin but no were to hang hand washing not a line or hooks. Lucky we used the shower door rail

Ship tip

Think again we have been on other lines with better service , food etc

Agree with your review. Celebrity has slipped its quality. Cleaning was also an issue. We both got a virus, along with other passengers, some were hospitalised when they returned home. Following strong medication I am still not fully recovered. Great itinerary and lovely ship. Will be slow to book Celebrity again.

Hi there, Could you shed a little more light on where exactly is the cruise check in facilities. Very little info on where to go for embarking. We are going to Iceland on 05/06/19. Thanks, RM.
