mtt Posted February 9, 2014 #52 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I tried to post yesterday but was unable, agree nosign of any problem, we had the notices staing being served for first fewdays, but was served all cruise with food and staffdoing tea/ coffee for you but all went fine, saw quite a few people not using hand satinisers(even he ships doctor once) staff were all great Had some some of the cheesecake/muffins/ cookies from the coffee port very nice/ half price if on AI didn't use mdr/plenty to eat in the lido, seem to time it write and always get a seat, ntertainment very good as always, we had a few late sailaways due to late flights and a missing passenger, and the captain changed our berth in lanzarotte to the first not being too safe, but wasn't affected too much, so we had free tickets on the shuttle (our prebooked discover the north trip was cancelled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted February 9, 2014 Author #53 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Having just disembarked Celebration in Las Palmas yesterday (having embarked 1st Feb) I can only say in all honesty that absolutely NONE of the very bad things that happened on your cruise happened to us. We had an excellent week with absolutely no problems of any kind. Yes,great attention is being paid to hygiene with handrails etc being often cleaned. The Lido buffet was all served by staff,and ample chilled bottled water is offered in the MDR. I always chat to other passengers and I can honestly say that the general level of satisfaction with Celebration seemed high. The staff were absolutely great and just could not do enough for you. I will shortly be posting a review hopefully. I am delighted to hear that you had a trouble free cruise. I only wish I could have experienced the same. Perhaps the fact that they kicked us off to clean the ship helped those who came after us. I would much preferred to have a nice relaxing cruise with no issues like yours but unfortunately I did not.

tilford Posted February 9, 2014 #55 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Excellent news from you guys :) Looking forward to your reviews ;) On that subject.... I spent quite a while writing a detailed review and when I clicked on the submit icon nothing really happened except I just got a white screen. I went back a page twice and tried again twice but same result,so how can I tell if my review has been received? It was not my broadband as everything else was working. I am new to this board so was just wondering what to do,don't really want to write it all again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilford Posted February 9, 2014 #56 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I am delighted to hear that you had a trouble free cruise. I only wish I could have experienced the same. Perhaps the fact that they kicked us off to clean the ship helped those who came after us. I would much preferred to have a nice relaxing cruise with no issues like yours but unfortunately I did not. I was not in any way doubting or trying to diminish your disastrous experience and I hope my post did not come across like that. I would have been livid if what happened to you had happened to me. But I did feel that my experiences would be useful to others who have booked and are very worried to read the comments/reviews,as indeed I was, before my trip .

Deeside dave Posted February 14, 2014 #58 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Had the same problem as you Tilford .Spent a fair while writing a review only to find it disappearing when I hit the submit button.Its a shame because we need to balance out some of the negative reviews.I accept rough seas (we had them twice )(always book a mid ships cabin)can seriously affect passengers enjoyment as can missing out ports,lack of sun(it is winter) and no self service in the buffet(rather that than be ill).Two 8 hour waits at Tenerife airport and an overnight in a hotel are a very serious blight on any holiday and my sympathies to the reviewer who had to withstand that.I hope Thomsons well compensate those unlucky people.Having said all that I review as I find and last weeks cruise was great.The weather was good ,ports of call excellent,food in MDR was super and entertainment brilliant as always.Vibration was a little surprising but after a few hours we stopped noticing.Dont look for faults and hopefully you won't find them.Majesty in June next and we know what to expect as we were on her last year.Great ship and hopefully a great holiday.

1160451 Posted February 14, 2014 #59 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I always wonder about the pens we use to sign for drinks. What do we do wash our hands every time we use pen that could have been used by a carrier? We use a hand sanitiser called Q shield three times a day. Supposed to kill all nasties. Read an artical that says if you are near anybody who vomits then you stand a good chance of catching the noro, as it becomes airbourne. That's why to protect yourself, it's best to get away as quick as possible. It's often I think just down to luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockram1966 Posted February 15, 2014 #60 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Did anyone have the drinks package??if so what was the main exclusions from the drinks menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted February 15, 2014 #61 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The first time I posted a review it disappeared :rolleyes: A good tip, given to me by our old friend, Berwyn, is to do it as a word document and then copy and paste it in. That way, you have a copy, if anything goes wrong when sending it to CC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
