Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celestyal Journey
1st cruise. Really enjoyed it.
Overall well organised budget cruise. The ship felt very empty because there were some large groups of Eastern Europeans who generally didn't mix with the westerners. Consequently some of the venues were deserted. Prom deck was always empty. We ate in the Smoked Olive and had excellent service from our waiters Jeffrey, Jerwyn and Yayang (wine). The maitre d' was usually around too. Buffet food was not as appealing but the chilli con carne was good and there was a good salad bar. The desserts looked interesting but we stuck with the fresh fruit due to dietary issues. Entertainment was low key to appeal to all on board and the dancers and singers were very good. The classical violinist was also good but perhaps not appreciated. Other bar entertainers were a little too loud for the spaces. Cabin was good but the cable for the hairdryer was weirdly short especially as it was secured in a drawer.
Great ship, with plenty of bars and restaurants. The entertainment team are really talented. Food was excellent. Staff were very attentive. Would definitely travel with Iglu and Celebrity cruises again.
The excursions were good & nicely organised, space was a little limited within the cabin itself. Internet connection not very good & expensive, spa facilities absolutely amazing, massages brilliant big shout out to Gina who is lovely & very professional.
