PIC33 Posted August 27 #226 Share Posted August 27 We are also on the current Eclipse Iceland cruise, and were on the previous cruise from Cape Liberty to Iceland. On the first leg of this B2B the Sky Lounge was well visited on the numerous, very chilly, sea days. The whale watching and dolphin spotting from the lounge was excellent! The only downside was the very loud volume of the trivia events also ongoing in the lounge. Now on the current cruise with the Sky Lounge closed, the only temperature controlled space with windows is the Oceanview Cafe, which has been packed with campers (including myself) who would normally be in the Sky Lounge. I did provide feedback to the HD a few days ago. See screenshot below of what I submitted. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted August 27 #227 Share Posted August 27 (edited) 1 hour ago, QuestionEverything said: Celebrity is not a Premium cruise line. Celebrity is the highest level of the mass cruise lines. Premium and luxury lines use smaller ships, are without ship within a ship, treat all customers very close to the same, have longer and more exotic destinations. Thats fair, at the point in my life I am at now, the much longer cruises don’t work for my Wife and I. Edited August 27 by PTC DAWG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted August 27 #237 Share Posted August 27 6 hours ago, the penguins said: The noise from the back of the theatre, the bar stool type seats just as you enter, is beyond just annoying for those of us who have to use the disabled seats just in front of them. We have asked numerous Cruise Directors to make a friendly announcement asking for passengers to respect the performers and other guests by not talking during the performance or to move to a different venue- none have done it. Oh, I hear you. Folks just do not want to behave at all. People who come in late and then talk loudly and bother folks, well I say they should have the back monitored for late comers and send them to the balcony. If over time one sees that nothing is done to noisy people., they everyone ends up doing it too. Sort of like speeding on the road. Shame on cruise lines for overlooking bad behavior. But they are scared of being written up. I find more well-behaved kids on Disney ships than I do adults on the other lines. MY biggest peeve is when I am trying to record something in a show (that is allowed) and nearby folks are whistling and cheer way too loud or talking. It is a real chore to find a spot to record without nearby loud chatter and overly loud cheering. Just clap for pete's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Premium Lines are examples: * Oceania *Azmara * Viking The Luxury Lines are examples: * Regent * Seabourn Been on all of them, since Celebrity There is a very different price point amongst the lines. Celebrity toots they are Premium, far from the truth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiscs Posted August 27 #244 Share Posted August 27 (edited) I would rate Celebrity as premium. Their ships and service is better than a lot 5 star hotels I have stayed in. Edited August 27 by Cruiscs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually find it a lot harder to find the place to draw a good line between premium and luxury. Silversea is certainly a good step up above its sister lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as3369 Posted August 27 #247 Share Posted August 27 Also Explora Journeys offers a luxury experience. On this now with no plans to return. I love Regent and will cruise her in April. I will note that Celebrity Flora to the Galapogos was outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love love love how they remind the peons that you are not welcome here with the printed schedule conveniently left on your cabin. It makes it even more obvious how stupid this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if you are sitting at home or on a ship. Edited August 27 by doghog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichYak Posted August 27 #250 Share Posted August 27 37 minutes ago, Cruiscs said: I would rate Celebrity as premium. Even M-class ships are far too big to be premium. Beyond and Ascent are nearing 4000 at maximum capacity. Celebrity is firmly entrenched in the mass market category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
