Celebrity Cruises: Ask a Question Cruise Critic Message Board Forums

cruise critic boards celebrity

We will be on the same itinerary in September and these ports are new to us except Key West so it is great to have reports from recent cruises. Seems like Resort World is the better option for Bimini especially with the pool since there have been some recent reports of jelly fish in the water. The ship also offers infinite verandas, staterooms that have a modified approach to the traditional balcony.

Celebrity Apex Review

I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Apex is also notable for its exceptional offerings to suite guests. The Celebrity Apex Retreat experience encompasses private and exclusive dining, a lounge and splendid sundeck, aimed at giving suite passengers seclusion and comfort. It's the perfect balance between luxury and big ship cruising. Apex also excels at innovation, with unique features like the heralded Magic Carpet, a cantilevered platform that juts from the side of the ship and can move up and down depending on its use. At the lowest deck, it serves as a gateway to ports, making embarkation and debarkation easy.

How much does it cost to go on Celebrity Apex?

So we feel like you are interviewing for a new job each evening. LOL  Martini Bar was a hot spot and the drinks were wonderful. We actually met and ended up spending a lot of time with the Kostas, the Director of Food and Beverage. He is a wonderful young man and a great brand ambassador. We chatted frequently throughout the week and he seems to actually want to hear our opinions. I am glad to hear things out of the cabins seem to be improving.

Celebrity Ups Its Game in Entertainment

We are on the Infinity right now. Save your money on le Petite Chef. It is great is when there are just a few guests. We tried it again on this cruise as we loved it in the past...it was awful.

However, it’s still not clear how the move offers better value for the cruiser, especially when Celebrity has just raised the cost of gratuities. The new program, which is capacity-limited and is priced dynamically depending on voyage duration, was initially rolled out as "Celebrity Pass" before undergoing a name change and slight tweak to amenities. Sounds like it’s two different properties, the Resorts/Hilton and the Virgin Beach Club.

Reflection stands out with its exceptional variety of cabins, including its beautiful suites. They also receive complimentary access to Blu, which serves up healthier "spa cuisine." I am sorry we don't have any of the planners. We actually asked our attendant not to deliver them after the first day because everything is on the app. The only thing we found different was the "sale" papers that come in them. The sales are not listed on the app.

The common ladies rooms were generally well kept. Some had attendants in them, some didn't. I love the hand towels and those were fresh. The crew was constantly cleaning.

Celebrity Cruises President Addresses Dining and All-Inclusive Program Concerns, Expands on Entertainment

Our poor waiter was the only one in our section with 6 tables seated all within 30 minutes of each other. The food was nothing spectacular. Defiantly not Ruth's Chris or Jeff Ruby but not "Fancy like Applebee's" either LOL. Food is good but again staffing issues made the meal slow. Ocean view Cafe for lunch was fantastic.

More about Celebrity Reflection

Dinner at Le Petit Chef is a must. The show is cute but really the meal is wonderful. It's never crowded so the chef is cooking for a small group. We went the first night (with a discount) and there were 12 of us in the whole restaurant. Lack of staff made the whole experience long and drawn out (over 3 hours for the 2 of us). We had a reservation but had to wait because the group in front of us couldn't find a table they liked.

It looks to me like Hilton owns all the property in this section of the island. The trolley stops at the Hotel where you have an infinity pool, then the fishing pier where there are a couple shops, then Resorts World then the public beach. While on the topic of cleaning and maintenance... We found several "lights out" around the ship.... One light in the stairwell and one in one of the ladies rooms.

Having said this who actually owns the beach club and/or developed it is still not clear. There definitely is joint agreements as to the usage. No where did we ever see any signs of Virgin in Bimini. This Resorts World is on the Hilton property.

We were about 1800 passengers we were told. The Theater is really hit or miss.  As a high school teacher.... These shows (with the exception of the Piano Man and the Comedian) reminded me of HS Musicals. LOL  The piano guy was AMAZING and he preformed another night in the lounge. Get there early, people were sitting on the floor! We went to the adult comedian show in the theater and he was super funny.

Particularly the buffet, MDR and bars. We sailed the second sailing and based on that I would have told anyone to run far far away from Infinity. Dinner near three hours most nights, just a few bar servers on the pool deck and only two bartenders at the pool bar so it was a long wait. No 'large' martini glasses so the martinis were half of their normal size. We also had a lot of issues with the shower in my cabin, it seemed to be leaking and every time the shower ran the carpet would get wet next to the bed. They offered to bring an industrial blower in but there was already no room in the cabin and I never could have slept with that.

And while the 2,910-passenger ship is fancy, it's not stuffy – there's a relaxed vibe throughout. Speaking only for us, we wouldn't be concerned. Cruise line, food, entertainment, condition, age, size of the ship is subjective. We never book or not book a cruise based on someone else's positive or negative opinions or experiences.

Wonderful salad bar and YES there is a fish and chips day. I tried the fish but did not care for the breading, too soggy and too much of it. I pulled it away and put the fish on my salad and it was delish! Dinner in the main dining room was very nice. The steak Diane was delish as well as the lobster an beef wellington.
