I did a celebrity cruise in July, French and Italian Riveira, starting in Barcelona and finishing in Rome and it was one of my best trips I’ve had! Absolutely incredible! The only problems were the WiFi connection, the food was nice but it was just the same stuff everyday, but those certainly didn’t ruin my experience at all! I’ve got another booked for this coming summer going to Spain, Portugal and Morocco, can’t wait!
Just done a Celebrity Solstice cruise. Singapore to Sydney. The wifi package is a con. you cannot send pics or whats app anyone, only text, they block everything else unless you upgrade for an extra $105.00 and you will need a classic drinks package that you can buy drinks up to $10.00 max. anymore and you have to pay the difference plus tax! like a guiness is $11.00 so have to pay $1.24 including tax. they soon add up. Also do not go to the Sunset bar at the rear of the ship, your clothes will get covered in soot. We had to launder a lot of ours on board, the ship did pay for them though. On a good note the food is excellent. the animated la peti chief is awsome.
My husband and I quite enjoy your cruise videos and have viewed many interesting vids. As a request, would you please do reviews on accessibility. We realise you are young, fit and agile and such issues related to mobility is not front of mind. But for those of us, young and older, who are dependent upon easy access, detailed info could be a game changer. Thank you!
Going on our first cruise soon as a celebration one thing I definitely want to get away from is the pressure to spend so I need to research for what I want and need ahead of time because overspending seems to be my shadow these days
If ur booked using a casino pkg,the all inc isn't an option..your charged separately for drink, tips,& wifi..def more expensive made the "free cabin" rather pricy in the end.. Very informative segment for newbies😊! & post Oct '23, no included gratuities..
My family and I just signed up for a cruise on celebrity edge for this summer! You may have said this in the video but one question I have is about the drink package. Are smoothies included in the classic drink packages? Also in the classic drink package is soda included just not Coca Cola brand? Any help would be appreciated! Great video!
it would have been nice to know what you thought of the food on board and how it compared to other lines, and things like how well the wifi did or did not work Not really all that helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing! Do you know if I can get coffee at Cafe al Bacio and smoothies at the Aqua Spa Cafe with the Zero Proof package?? This is what it says on their package: "Premium Coffees Premium Teas Acqua Panna Water Evian Water San Pellegrino Vitamin Water Red Bull and Editions Bottled Iced Teas Sodas Spa Café Fresh Juice *Important details and advisements: Includes all non-alcoholic beverages onboard" Thanks!!!
WiFi on ships use satellites. Your WiFi modem, unless it is enabled for satellite, depends on cellular or fiber service. Celebrity is upgrading to Elon Musk’s Starlink so service has greatly improved with the exception of TA sailings.
Your question proves you don't understand what wifi is and how it works. Wifi makes a wired connection wireless with the use of specific radio frequencies. Even starlink works this way. Tuning satellite to wired connection to wifi. You have no wired connection to turn into a wireless one on a cruise ship. Hope this helps
@@robzilla69 not quite right/complete, so I think it was a bit rude calling someone else out as not understanding something when you don't understand it fully yourself. you can also use a WiFi dongle (also known by other names) in which you can insert a SIM card with a data plan, so effectively using a cellular connection and presenting it via a WiFi router, so no wired connection required.
@@robzilla69We sailed with Celebrity in New Zealand, and bought a NZ SIM card. It provided much better access that the onboard WiFI whenever we were in port.
So I need the package with water so I don’t get dehydrated I don’t drink or energy drinks but I do like coffee! I don’t need room service but I do want to enjoy a steak! I want at least 2 weeks with my 4-year-old. Can you suggest for me please and what are the best times for the best deals to cruise thanks
If you purchase basic package, Water and coffee are included for all cruises. There are cups provided beside the drink station. Usually at the buffet. The one they charges are bottled water and specialty coffee. You are charged for fixed gratuity no matter what at the end of cruise goes to you bill. You don’t need to tip all the time during the cruise. If you don’t want room services, use the do not disturb sign. 2 weeks onboard can be pricy, there are kids club onboard which is included. If you really wants to stay onboard for 2 weeks, you can have a travel consultant to design and arrange for you, or you can do your own cruise hopping. you can also take your kid stay in a hotel before and after the cruise visit theme park nearby to make it to 2 weeks vacation. Disney also has half theme park and half Disney cruise package.
We're going on our very first cruise in September. We booked on Celebrity so this will be really helpful. Thank you!
Have fun! Which ship?

How was it
@@fastfrank7328 we loved it! We would go on Celebrity again in a heartbeat.

That sounds like an awesome cruise. When is the next one?
Will not be one. At the rip off wifi prices

Does Café al Bacio serve decaffeinated coffees?
Thank you!!!
Is the classic drinks package available to you whilst you’re dining?
Yes, works at all restaurants and bars. When are you sailing?
What about the casino?
Thank you..very inclusive.

Additional charge
And very expensive

Just booked a Celebrity cruise in the Mediterranean for April 2024. The gratuities are no longer included in the all inclusive! Very disappointing!
So I need the package with water so I don’t get dehydrated I don’t drink or energy drinks but I do like coffee! I don’t need room service but I do want to enjoy a steak! I want at least 2 weeks with my 4-year-old. Can you suggest for me please and what are the best times for the best deals to cruise thanks
The tap water is drinkable (but then I am Australian and we drink tap water) and there is water in the buffet. Take you own water bottle and fill up.
If you purchase basic package, Water and coffee are included for all cruises. There are cups provided beside the drink station. Usually at the buffet.
The one they charges are bottled water and specialty coffee.
You are charged for fixed gratuity no matter what at the end of cruise goes to you bill. You don’t need to tip all the time during the cruise. If you don’t want room services, use the do not disturb sign.
2 weeks onboard can be pricy, there are kids club onboard which is included. If you really wants to stay onboard for 2 weeks, you can have a travel consultant to design and arrange for you, or you can do your own cruise hopping.
you can also take your kid stay in a hotel before and after the cruise visit theme park nearby to make it to 2 weeks vacation.
Disney also has half theme park and half Disney cruise package.
The price is horrific these days. 😮
Recently Celebrity no longer includes gratuities in the all included package. This is incorrect.
The changes to the All Included are recent, and unfortunately, RUclips does not let you edit videos once they are published. Happy cruising.
Are non- US citizens allowed to cruise with Celebrity?
Haha ofcourse
Hi can u confirm vaccancy if possible in that ship now
You don’t need to be vaccinated.
@@Eatsleepcruise1think they ment availability, not vaccination
On Equinox, is there a sauna or steam room in the gym restrooms included
Is this adult only
No, Celebrity Cruises is not adult only.
So much of this video is now out of date.
