Hi, I'm hoping for some feedback. My husband and I just got back from a Regent cruise from Athens to Istanbul. We were disappointed in our experience
especially since it was quite expensive. We had been told we were being upgraded to concierge level; unfortunately, that turned out to not be a true upgrade. We were on the 10th floor directly underneath the buffet.
This room had serious noise issues. They would make noise from 9-12 at night and 3-6 in the morning, so we would get 3-4 hours of sleep at night. We complained and were told that security would investigate. Obviously, they knew we were under the buffet and were just stringing us along. Eventually, after my husband had a huge fit they finally moved us--5 days into a 12 day cruise.
So, I'm not very happy with Regent. One thing I did like was the size of the ship (700 passengers). I know that Celebrity is much larger but a lot depends on how it is organized. Have some of you experienced long lines on a regular basis on the ship? Is Aqua Class worth doing? I am concerned about the aromatherapy. Is that pervasive throughout the halls or can you opt out of that? Also, since we would be first timers on Celebrity we won't have any captain's points. Will that cause us to stand in more lines or just miss out on a free cocktail party (which I could care less about).
My other question concerns alcohol.Is there a special drinks package you can buy for alcohol that makes it cheaper than just buying as you go?
