10 things I loved and hated about my first Celebrity cruise

There’s something special about experiencing a new cruise line for the first time. I love seeing how other cruise lines curate a unique onboard cruising experience. Just recently, I was lucky enough to sail on Celebrity Cruises for the first time ever.

I’ve been a longtime loyal cruiser with Royal Caribbean - and I’ve also tried other cruise lines like Carnival Cruise Line and Norwegian Cruise Line. Each cruise line certainly has their own approach to cruising, which is how each brand differentiates itself in the cruise industry.

10 things I learned on my first Celebrity cruise

As someone who loves to cruise, I am always excited to try out a new cruise line. In fact, for many years, I’d been wanting to take a cruise with Celebrity Cruises because I’ve enjoyed all of my cruises with sister-brand Royal Caribbean.

Rather than building mega cruise ships, the cruise line seems to focus on building small-to-medium sized vessels relative to other cruise lines. Celebrity’s cruise ships almost parallel boutique hotels rather than mainstream cruise lines.

Celebrity Cruises offers pickleball onboard nine ships

Pickleball's popularity has sky rocketed throughout the country in recent years. Between August 2021 and August 2022, it is estimated that over 36 million people played pickleball in the United States. If you are worried about missing your favorite lesiure sport while onboard your Celebrity cruise, you have no reason to fret!

Celebrity Cruises is now offering pickleball onboard nine of their cruise ships!

The suite life: Royal Caribbean vs Celebrity Cruises. Which is better?

Booking a suite is a nice splurge that brings several extra perks. Bigger cabins, access to select venues, free drinks, and wi-fi are some of the major benefits cruises get to enjoy in these upgraded cabins. 

The suite experience varies by cruise line, and we tried both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises to see how they compare. 

Both provided a great cruise experience, but there were some differences between the two. Was it worth it, and which was better ?

I paid $750 for a 10 day cruise on Celebrity Equinox. Here's what impressed me, and why I'm already planning a trip back.

The thrill of a fantastic cruise deal is a feeling we all love. I could not believe my luck when I found an amazing price on Celebrity Equinox on an incredible Southern itinerary. 

Celebrity Cruises ventures into the Metaverse with virtual cruise ship experience

Today, leading luxury cruise line operator, Celebrity Cruises announced a new and exciting development with the introduction of the Wonderverse. A continuation of its strategy of innovation and a customer-centric focus, the Wonderverse is a brand new way to see Celebrity and all it has to offer.   

Worth the hype? My review of the Celebrity Beyond

Celebrity’s newest ship, Celebrity Beyond, made its much-anticipated arrival to North America last week - and its been hyped as the best ship in the cruise line's fleet.

Celebrity has set the bar high with its newest ship; just by the ship’s name alone, it sets the tone that Beyond will be a cut above the rest.

The 10 things Celebrity got right on their newest cruise ship

Celebrity Beyond is the newest and most innovative ship in Celebrity’s fleet. With its dazzling aesthetics, open-spaced decks and dozens of delectable dining choices, its hard not to love everything Celebrity Beyond has to offer.

Celebrity Beyond is the third ship in the award-winning Edge-class of cruise ships, which are bigger and better than anything Celebrity has ever built.

I spent 48 hours on Celebrity's new cruise ship: Here are 10 reasons I want to go back

I was lucky enough to spend 48 hours onboard Celebrity Cruises’ newest cruise ship, Celebrity Beyond - and I already can’t want to go back.

As a longtime Royal Caribbean cruiser, this was my first experience on sister-brand Celebrity Cruises.

I’ve been under the impression that Celebrity's brand emphasizes a more sophisticated, adult-centered experience for cruisers with a particular emphasis on sailing to far-flung destinations.

First look: Inside the new Celebrity Beyond cruise ship

Celebrity Beyond is the newest ship from Celebrity Cruises - and it's like nothing the cruise industry has seen before.

From the incredible innovation to the intricate and thoughtful design around every corner, Celebrity Beyond takes cruising to a whole new level. 

We were lucky enough to be invited for a 2-night sailing onboard Celebrity Beyond for its naming and christening ceremony. This is a longstanding maritime tradition that involves smashing a bottle of champagne against a ship's hull to symbolize the ship's ceremonial debut.
