Celebrity cruises
Anyone cruised on Celebrity and especially Infinity and your thoughts about them and compared to P&O. Many thanks in advance.

Re: Celebrity cruises
A lot of people seem to think very highly of Celebrity. We tried them once and were very disappointed. The only thing we thought they were better at than P&O was self praise - which was constant! We wouldn't use them again.

Re: Celebrity cruises
A thread was started last week about Infinity in "Any other ship" so might be worth taking a look at that.

Re: Celebrity cruises
The inlaws are big Celebrity fans ... we got them to try P&O and overall they thought P&O compared very well. They preferred the entertainment and food on P&O but thought the service and cabins were better on Celebrity

Re: Celebrity cruises
Sailed on Constellation and Solstice in the Med' and would highly recommend Celebrity
The Solstice class ships are beautiful.
If you're going on Constellation in the next three months then you'll have my daughter entertaining you (along with other members of the Activties team)

Re: Celebrity cruises
Having sailed last year with both P&O (Ventura) and Celebrity (Silhouette) IMO Celebrity comes out on top in all areas apart from drink prices(but their spirit measures are much larger) and theatre entertainment. In particular: The buffet was much better as was the informal bar entertainment. Instead of the usual P&O offering of insipid duos etc Celebrity offered a good pop/rock group, a jazz quartet and singer, accoustic and electric guitarists, an a cappelo vocal group and a classical piano trio.

Re: Celebrity cruises
Not sure about the last comment about price. We have found them cheaper than P&O for comparative cabins and offer more in the way of incentives and loyalty club benefits. I guess it depends which cruise you are considering.

Re: Celebrity cruises
I agree if you book during the brochure launch period, which we need to to secure an accessible cabin. However Celebrity prices do rise quite a bit afterwards unlike P&O which nose dive once they start with getaway deals. So I assume Greenfish is comparing these later prices.ItsmeAnnC wrote:Not sure about the last comment about price.

But launch prices are generally quite a bit cheaper than P&O and with Celebrity's higher standards for us its a now a no brainer to book Celebrity.
