I Love Celebrity Cruises… But I’m Worried
Celebrity Ascent Cruise ShipCelebrity Cruises Cruise LineCelebrity Beyond Cruise ShipCelebrity Millennium Cruise ShipCelebrity Xcel Cruise Ship
After 18 Celebrity cruises, this is my honest Celebrity Cruises review of the ships, food, entertainment, itineraries, and service. And whether Celebrity Cruises is worth it. I compare Celebrity’s Edge class, Solstice class, and Millennium class, including my experiences on Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Xcel, and Celebrity Millennium, to explain which cruise ships I would book again. I also cover Celebrity’s All Included fare, The Retreat suites, AquaClass, Infinite Veranda cabins, Captain’s Club benefits, and solo cruising tips before you book. Celebrity is my favorite cruise line, but that doesn’t mean every ship delivers the same experience. One of my favorite Celebrity cruises was on Millennium, while the newest cruise ship, Celebrity Xcel, left me disappointed in some areas, and impressed in others. In this full cruise line review, I use my STEPS system (Ships, Taste, Entertainment, Ports, and Service) to explain what Celebrity does well, where it falls short, and who I think will enjoy it most. You’ll hear my thoughts on: • Choosing between Celebrity’s three main ship classes • Infinite Verandas versus traditional balconies • Included dining, Oceanview Café, Blu, Luminae, and specialty restaurants • Entertainment on older ships versus Edge-class ships • Celebrity cruise destinations and itineraries • All Included, Wi-Fi, drink packages, and daily gratuities • The Retreat, AquaClass, and loyalty benefits • Celebrity Cruises for solo travelers • The changes I’m watching as Celebrity grows What’s your favorite Celebrity ship, and has your experience changed recently?
