Review summary

We have done several cruises in the past six years, and this was the best. Celebrity pays more attention to detail and personal service than any of the other lines we have cruised with. We will definitely book with them again next year.

Entertainment

My wife and I are both professional musicians, so tend to be quite critical of musical performances. Celebrity musicians were outstanding and shows were top notch every night.

Akureyri, Iceland

5 out of 5
Beautiful scenery in the area and mountains surrounding this port

Reykjavik, Iceland

5 out of 5
Two hour excursion driving around the city was a waste, but the excursion booked through Iceland Guided Tours around the Golden Circle was fantastic.

Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Scotland

5 out of 5
A truly lovely island. Booked a three hour excursion on shore for 50% of what the cruise lines charge, and had a wonderful small group excursion with a knowledgeable local guide.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We needed to get off early as we had booked transport and excursion with local company. Celebrity was very accomodating and we had plenty of time.

So glad to hear you were impressed with Celebrity. We haven't sailed with them before so it's great to read such a positive review! Going on Southern Caribbean cruise next year.
