Celebrity Cruises

I upgraded to a balcony cabin on a Celebrity cruise, and it was worth the $4,000 price tag

Interior staterooms on a cruise are the most affordable, but I prefer staying in balcony cabins. Not only are they typically more spacious, but nothing beats stepping outside onto your private veranda. This luxury comes at a price, though. 

On my recent voyage to Norway, my partner and I splurged on a balcony stateroom, which allowed us to take in the stunning views of the fjords from the comfort of our cabin. 

I tried the cheapest WiFi on my cruise ship. I had some issues, but it was better than I thought

As a remote worker, reliable Wi-Fi is a must for any sailing on cruise ships. However, I recently decided to disconnect for the week and save money, purchasing the cheapest internet package on my 7-night Celebrity cruise. 

When my partner and I booked our cruise to Norway, Celebrity's basic wi-fi package was included in the bundled fare pricing, along with the line's classic drink package. Because we prefer handcrafted cocktails and premium wines over bottom-shelf liquor, we decided to splurge on the drink package upgrade. 

Celebrity Ships by Size: Biggest to Smallest (2025)

While Celebrity doesn't operate the largest cruise ships at sea, they're committed to keeping their fleet as modern as possible. Regardless of the size, you will find an impressive number of restaurants, bars, cabin categories, and amenities compared to other fleets. 

Whether you're seeking a ship that offers the best of what Celebrity has to offer or an intimate experience that's more focused on the destinations, you're sure to find the perfect ship for your next voyage. 

One cruise line is spending big bucks on upgrades to its older ships that cruisers will love

Celebrity is investing $250 million in some of its oldest ships to make them better than ever. 

The Solstice Class initially debuted in 2008, when Celebrity Solstice hit the high seas for the first time. Over the next four years, Celebrity added four more ships to the new beloved class, including Celebrity Equinox, Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Silhouette, and Celebrity Reflection

I bought the cheapest drink packages on two different cruise lines. While both were worth the cost, one was significantly better

Drink packages are among the most common cruise add-ons. While your cruise fare includes select beverages, drink packages make the experience more inclusive by giving you access to a wider variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. 

However, they aren't always the most affordable. Some cruise lines charge over $80 per person, per day for their most inclusive packages, making them a serious investment. 

"We’re reliving MTV spring break in 2001”: Celebrity cruisers shocked by rowdy crowd

March is the unofficial beginning of spring break season. College students and young partygoers flock to the warmer weather in Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean during this time of the year. Starting in late February and finishing in early April, spring break is a popular time for travel — especially for cruisers. 

New Celebrity Cruise sale offers big savings on exotic sailings

Celebrity Cruises released its newest Galápagos expeditions for 2027, offering travelers an all-inclusive option to explore the infamous Galápagos in style and comfort, from glamping under the stars on board to snorkeling with sea lions and kayaking with sea turtles.

Beloved Celebrity Cruise Captain announces she's leaving

One of the world’s most famous cruise ship captains announced she is stepping away from the helm.

I went on my first cruise to Europe. I had fun, but there are 6 things I wish I would have done differently

There's nothing quite like a European cruise. However, they differ from tropical getaways to the Caribbean or the Bahamas. 

Although I had previously taken a 7-night Mediterranean voyage with MSC, my fiancée, Sarah, cruised to Europe for the first time last summer. We embarked on a weeklong cruise aboard Celebrity Ascent to Greece, Italy, and Turkey in July. 

During our time onboard, she noted a few mistakes that made our trip less enjoyable, including underestimating the heat and staying up too late.
