Pilot70D Posted April 18, 2014 #51 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It was really tough deciding but here is our rank order for the =X= ships on which we have sailed: 1. CENTURY 1. CONNIE 1. ECLIPSE 1. MILLIE In short we liked 'em all and would sail on any of them again in a heartbeat!!!! ;):D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydoobydoo Posted April 18, 2014 #52 Share Posted April 18, 2014 My vote doesn't count as I have only been on Equinox but I loved it, best cruise ever I am on Eclipse in 14 days so I will see if there is any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathynorth Posted April 18, 2014 #53 Share Posted April 18, 2014 1. Solstice 2. Reflection 3. Silhouette 4. Millenium 5. Summit We'll be adding Infinity to this list in fall. We haven't been on the other X ships, but hope to add them to our list in the future. I agree with an earlier poster that opinions are affected by itinerary and fond memories, no matter how you try to focus just on the ship part.

Redtravel Posted April 18, 2014 #54 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I really liked the older ships. Zenith was my favorite. Horizon was a close second. Keeping to the ships presently in service. I have also been on the Galaxy twice. It was okay. With the exception of the Infinity, I would gladly sail on any of the Celebrity ships again. Infinity, although it looks very nice, is not run as well as other Celebrity ships. 1. Eclipse 2. Silhouette 3. Millenium 4. Century 5. Summit 6. Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4774Papa Posted April 19, 2014 #71 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I don't see a consensus here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted April 19, 2014 #72 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I don't see a consensus here. unless everyone has sailed all the sips and are referring to cruise ships as opposed to an excursion on an expedition there can be no consensus. One cannot compare a cruising experience of 10, 15, or even 20 years ago to one in the last few years on one of the cruise ships still in the fleet. Our favourite ship used to be Century but now we prefer Constellation but we also love the 14 night itinerary of Eclipse. Having sailed on all three in the last three months, I would love the friendliness of the master and crew on Century, the configuration of Constellation and the itinerary of Eclipse. I want to design the next X ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to design the next X ship. I suspect that people's ratings of ship is colored by the specific cruise itinerary to some degree. Of course, the crew and staff are key. However, we have been on four Infinity cruises and found that there is considerable turnover in staff and crew. You can easily cruise the same ship and one year later have few of the same crew and staff on the next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning bolt Posted April 19, 2014 #74 Share Posted April 19, 2014 1. Zenith 2. Mercury 3. Connie 4. Eclipse 5. Century 6. Reflection My picks were for different reasons. The Zenith was my very first Celebrity cruise and I still love the line. I have met lasting friends on the Mercury and have sailed with them on the Eclipse, Century and Reflection. Our group gets larger each year.:D Many more friends to make in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftcoastBC Posted April 19, 2014 #75 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Zenith Horizon Infinity Century Mercury Solstice Another smaller WAS better fan.... But of course they were newer back then too and the S class has way better beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
