Celebrity was my favorite cruise line, at 90 my two friends and I decided to take a last hurray cruise. I was under a doctors care for spine related issues, however when it came near the time of taking the cruise Ideveloped a new line of issues, shaking, unable to stand up etc. I cancelled well within the time limit for a full refund. They sent me 3/4 saying i did not fall in the time line. Then when I proved I did, they said it was an old issue, my dr talked to them and told them a new issue which they twisted to suit them. I have since been diagnosed with Parkingson's disease. I first called Celebrity, who took my money for the ins. to be told call ANON, i did, only to be told they are... Read More

This was the 2nd time CCL canceled my excursion (Flam R/R) for NO GOOD Reason. I've waited 4 years & saved up to visit Norway & take this excursion. My excursion was requested months ahead of sailing; CCL canceled it the night before we pulled into Flam. This was done to me 5 years ago with another excursion. I called the RR at Flam who advised me they were running the issue was with CCL. People who took the tour from our ship booked with Viatour raved about the railroad that it was an experience of a life time. I will no longer cruse with celebrity. In my opinion, they canceled our excursion to sell other excursions that were not sold. I will advise evr travel agent I know of this... Read More

Dumped by Celebrity Cruises! We booked an October 2023 cruise on the Celebrity Millennium last August. The cruise was to be part of a retirement celebration travelling with friends in Japan. We found out 2 days ago that Celebrity Cruises had double booked cabins on this cruise and we were getting dumped from the cruise without a real explanation or provided an option to upgrade to a different cabin even though cabins are still available for sale on the Celebrity website. I understand 50 couples were dumped from the cruise. So now our friends are taking the cruise and we are not. Celebrity Cruises has ruined our first trip after retirement. After taking only Celebrity cruises... Read More

Our first cruise. Made us feel like their hands were in our pockets the whole cruise. Foreign spices & cooking on basic foods like fried chicken & mashed potatoes do not mix.

I was charged after the cruise for a minibar items. We did not use anything from mini bar and would like to be credited. How do you dispute a charge after cruise? Thanks. Jeannie Smith

I just got off the Celebrity Apex on May 30, 2022. The Apex is a beautiful ship with great service. The entertainment was excellent, but they don't have Broadway production shows. The food in the buffet was warm at best. The menu in the main dining rooms was limited selection and the dessert menu also very limited selection.
