Smooth sailing 1 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Thank you Hannah, all our bookings through you went well and we appreciate your assistance. The Cruise with Celebrity fortunately enjoyed good weather and smooth waters. We visited Portugal, Spain & the Canary Islands the latter we hadn't previously visited. They were good the standout being Madeira in Portugal, great place and good ship's excursion. ...read more The Celebrity Apex has good facilities and had excellent staff. Unfortunately there was a lot of "Nickle & diming" as my US friends would say i.e. they charge like wounded bulls for everything particularly drinks, extras such as bottled water and Speciality Restaurants. We would recommend that you get a deal which includes all these.
