Why Sail Celebrity?

Celebrity is certainly one of our favorite cruise lines.  They are our absolute favorite in one respect - the food! Celebrity really provides a spectacular dining experience at amazingly mid-level prices.  If you enjoy great meals, this is your line. Some of the many other reasons we enjoy Celebrity are:

  1. Food - not just quality, but selection, variety offered, and presentation
  2. Midnight buffet food quality is better than some line's main entrees
  3. Elegant, soft contemporary styling of interior areas
  4. Beautiful dining rooms - an environment fit for the food quality
  5. Very good service from wait staff and cabin stewards/stewardesses
  6. Entertainment is usually very good
  7. Cabins are elegant, spacious, and well appointed
  8. Category 2 outside staterooms with verandah (Mercury, Galaxy only) are an excellent value for a balcony cabin
  9. Ship staff (purser, desk staff, management) very friendly and helpful

We have found very few negatives with Celebrity: 

  1. Squeaky cabin ceilings when in motion - not the case in every cabin, but this may keep you awake if you are a light sleeper
  2. Not as easy to find your way around on the ships

Celebrity is great for singles, couples age 25-64, and families.  Any Caribbean sailing would be an excellent first time cruise for those that appreciate fine food quality and a "casually elegant" atmosphere.  Be forewarned, though - if this line is your first experience, it will be hard to "top it" in many ways, especially food quality.  You'd have to spend a lot more money to get an incremental improvement in the dining experience.

We have enjoyed three sailings aboard Celebrity ships and plan to take many more.  This site receives many reviews on the line's ships, and the overwhelming majority are very positive.  And the value they provide, at a relatively small premium over many "mass market" lines, is excellent.

 

Why book your Celebrity cruise with us?

When you contact us to get pricing or book your cruise, you are harnessing the volume buying power of Uniglobe, a $1 billion company and one of the largest travel agencies in the world.  Uniglobe has recently developed its new Cruise Ship Centers, specializing in cruise travel.

We have a very close relationship with all the major cruise lines, including Celebrity.  Uniglobe will often contact sales executives at the line to negotiate special "group rates" that other agencies can't match.

 

sonjabwphoto.JPG (9097 bytes) I will give you the friendly, personal service that my clients have enjoyed since 1994 - the kind you would get from a friend at a nearby small travel agency.  But the difference in booking through me is that you also get the buying power that only a $1 billion agency can provide.  We feel we are unique - most large 800# agencies employ dozens of "order taker" agents. They receive minimal training, have to sell you quickly or get you off the phone, and have a questionable amount of actual cruise experience.  And, good luck getting help if you have a last-minute problem.  When you book through me, you get the friendly and knowledgeable service of a local expert, but you also utilize the buying power of a mega-agency.

Bon Voyage,
