Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celestyal Discovery
We had an amazing time. The staff are always polite and do their best to help. The weather was brilliant, and best of all, we weren’t at work.
Loved this cruise ship so much so thinking of booking a Mediterranean trip with them later in the year
On the pluses, inside cabin was awesome. It has ample space and window view is great. Staffs clean the room twice a day. They are tourist focus cruise so no doubt the shop overs are great and worth the money. On the negative side, buffet has restricted time window which is the biggest downside as it creates chaos when people return from the excursion or solo tour. No snacks or tea outside dinner or lunch hours. You need to be at the mercy of staffs to get one otherwise it's a ploy to make you spend money.
Beautiful and roomy newly built suite right at the rear of the ship. This caused an initial problem as it is not shown on the website (and still doesn't), giving the impression it doesn't exist! There was, however, an occasional tobacco-like smell in the corridor and cabin that was unexplained. (maybe from adjacent cabins or from crew area below). The bars and restaurants were well run but a little disappointing that everything except the food itself had to be paid extra for, even a bottle of water or a cup of tea/coffee. The excursions were informative and enjoyable but not always necessary as a short walk from the ship was often possible to see the port or town.
