Canadianhey!

Looking for a hotel near the airport for a post cruise night with shuttle service. Prices seem high. Any suggestions.

Nope definitely has cruised in a while

Apex does so I imagine Beyond does

I found the food is good, just not as much variety as they use to have. I am not a big foodie so as long as it has taste I am happy. As I previously stated Desert is the best up in the buffet.

Part 2 of review First let me say I totally agree with D.B. with the waiters having a hard time getting to know their clients. As in my previous post we did find one that did get to know us even though we only spent one night with them. So these two proved it is doable. But yes I believe it is much hard. Now on with the rest: Celebrity App: It just sucks. One of our excursions got cancelled, so I popped down to the excursion desk are asked to be moved to the shark excursion. I was told that they didn't have an excursion like that, guess they should of told the app. I miss the interactive tv for the excursions (never thought I would say that). We were told lots to swipe up to refresh. I think Celebrity app is similar to their website - needs a lot of work. You soon learnt not to believe the app. Excursions: Our Belize snorkeling trip got cancelled the day before. I believe they cancelled it to early. The day in Belize was fine. Water was not rough. Half hour tender ride was not rough. Many of us sat on shore at a bar wondering why water sport was cancelled. There was little choices available from the ship to pick another excursion. Many unhappy people on board that day. Entertainment: They seem to have lots of technical difficulties. One show after 20 minutes of technical difficulties we left to find other things to do. Two other times in the Eden things were slowed due to technical difficulties. Not sure how many roving entertainment singers they had but it seemed that everywhere we where it was the same 2 people. Shows were good as usual, no complaints. If you showed up at the theater 20 mins early, you weren't getting a seat without a real search. It seemed to me that the theater was smaller than other ship, but might be just the way I saw it. Stateroom: We stay in a Sunset room. Got a bit of noise coming from the Eden which was right under us but nothing to really bother a person. Room was huge and lots of closet room. As we have never stayed in a Sunset stateroom I can't compare it to any other ship. Touch control lighting is very nice. I washed the railing everyday due to soot being collected on it. Gave up on my stateroom attendant doing it so did it myself. In closing I found the staff not as friendly or as happy as the other ships. Maybe they just have to many things to handle but it seemed like they just didn't have time for you. Maybe the many cuts Celebrity has made over the years is finally catching up with them. I have always loved Celebrity but I am now one of the people that will look at other cruise lines as alternative to Celebrity. I always believed that by paying a premium price for a cruise I was getting premium service.

Just finished an Apex cruise on Feb 10th. First the good things. Beautiful ship, embarkment and departure a breeze. I never thought that there was a problem with that anyway, but now super easy (as long as you are sort of tech savy). Food: Variety of options definitely declined but food taste is good. First night we had reservations for 6 pm, but the line up was a quarter of the way down the ship. An officer came by and told us that we could go to another restaurant without the line up. He said 80% of the menu was the same, so that is what we did. Moved from the Cosmopolitan to the Cyprus. Reservations apparently mean nothing now. Many complaints through the cruise from people waiting for tables eventhough they had reservations. Took us 40 minutes from the time we ordered desert til it was brought to us. From then on we would skip desert and just run up to the buffet and grab it. Desert in the buffet is the best. Only in 1 restaurant did we find the old Celebrity staff. Rometerio and Rama took the time to chat. All other restaurants you where treated like if you went out in your home town for a meal. Order, eat and get out. Rometerio explained the menu, asked how your day was, what you did, etc. (Remember those days). It also was the only time we didn't have to ask for a pepper shaker that wasn't empty. These two gentlemen are amazing. Almost put my faith back into Celebrity. I wish they would band cell phone during meals. We spent 4 nights of the trips either listening to Tik Tok videos, or video chats from tables 6 inches away from us. Just my personal preference of course. Stateroom: So whether it was our attendant fault or Celebrity not sure. No pen or pad of paper, or laundry form in the room. Only 2 makeup wipes supplied, never given any more. Stateroom gentlemen was pretty much non existent. He did bring us our requested ice and water twice a day. I asked him for some garbage bags for the can in the room and was told that Celebrity doesn't use them anymore. The statement people are expected to disinfect them on a daily basis. Shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are now in large containers not individual. I have hair that is down to my waist and the first night I found out that the shampoo didn't lather up at all. First port I went and bought shampoo and conditioner. The lotion was fine. If I had any questions I would go find another stateroom attendant as mine never seem to be around. I will carry on the rest of my review tomorrow.

Just got off a celebrity cruise and seriously the app sucks. Shows excursions and activities that they don't even have. They are constantly telling you to swipe up to refresh. They are pushing a crappy app

Thank you all. That is what I am looking for quiet and not crowded.

I see the Apex does not have the sky lounge so I am looking for a replacement lounge to have a quiet drink before supper. Suggestions?

With the exchange rate so poor making hotel prices so high, where is everyone staying before the cruise. We will be there for 2 days so need shopping and food near the hotel.

Sorry yes fll Airport

Looking at a 9 pm flight. What can we possibly do between leaving ship and flight with luggage. Looks like shore excursions, from the boat, would still get you back to airport still about noonish. Which makes it still a long time to wait. Thanks you any ideas

I have a cruise booked in April 2024. I have heard that there are many changes now since before covid. Is it true that they are now charging for the second lobster? And that I now can't take my non elite cabin mate for a free drink before supper? What other changes am I going to run into?

Many of my cabin mates have not been Elite and have never had an issue getting free drinks for them. They take my card and bring back the drinks. It has always been that cabin mate are treated same as highest level person. When did this change?
