Your favorite Celebrity itinerary?

[greatestvalue]

I have the Amex offer for Celebrity and am struggling to decide which itinerary to book. I'm all about getting a deal. I have the offer on 2 different cards. 

We are in Norway this week,. Panama Canal in January. We have a TA scheduled for next year Iceland/Greenland. So other than those 3, and with preference to sail out of the USA which has been your favorite celebrity cruise itinerary, ship, time of year for that cruise?

 

Forgot to mention, this would be our 1st Celebrity cruise. Another reason I want to use the offer. I really want to try Celebrity.. We are closest to sail out of the West Coast.

What about a 16 night cruise on Celebrity Eclipse.

Los Angeles (San Pedro), CA to Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile Dec 2023 or the reverse April 2024.

If your looking for soon try Celebrity Solstice out of LA on a 7 night.

If you already have cruises with Celebrity on the books, just make a payment on the cruise(s) to meet the threshold required for the AMEX offers. You don’t need to book a brand new cruise to qualify.

Alaska is still our favorite destination.

Sadly, none of our favorite past cruises on Celebrity seem to exist any more. The only thing that comes close, sailing out of the US would be the ABC islands cruise.

For quite a while I would receive a survey request from Celebrity and among the questions was always whether or not I’d consider a Mexican riviera cruise if one was made available. Every time I responded with a resounding YES!  A week ago I got a mailer from them introducing their Mexican Rivera itineraries beginning in September on Solstice. We just booked a 7 nighter leaving out of LA going to Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan…. Plus three sea days. I’m thrilled!  Someday I’d like to get back to cruising in Europe but the time isn’t now for us.

If you are willing to fly across country, Ft. Lauderdale offers several very nice Celebrity ships with sailings to some beautiful Southern Caribbean destinations. The "Ultimate Southern Caribbean" or "Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao are two of the most attractive itineraries. Islands visited include some of the more prosperous and popular in the region.

When is this one?

 

This to me is a lets try a new provider or ship kind of cruise. We've been there already but would go back just due to the ease of the cruise.

Nothing on the books. We've never been on Celebrity.

Very nice option!,

Our favorite was a B2B from Buenos Aires to Santiago to FLL.  Eclipse will be doing something similar after the 23 Alaska season. Great ship and great/diverse scenery.

Forgot to answer the second part of your question. November through April are the most comfortable temperatures in the Caribbean with lower humidity. May starts to get a bit warmer and more humid. June through October is hurricane season, although the Atlantic basin climate gives you nothing cast in stone.

Landed on an Alaska cruise 2023. Was able to use both offers on Amex, so booyah!

 

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will start working thru the list that was created with all the great ideas. 

 

Will come back and ask questions after doing my research on Celebrity. 

 

Tested negative for our RCL cruise that goes out of Copenhagen this Sunday. We've been here a week and what a fabulous city. Went to Sweden too, Lund ( a must not miss town)

 

Malmo was ok. 

 

Happy cruising everyone.
