GALAXY ULTIMATE CARIBBEAN CRUISE, ULTIMATE REVIEW
May 17-27, 2002

Itinerary: Baltimore-Key West-Cozumel-Belize City-Coco Caye-Nassau-Baltimore

Warning: This is a long review! It wasn’t intended to be in the...

Pros: Amazing public areas, good service, superb outside entertainment
Cons: Poor ship-based entertainment, average meat quality for entrees, carpet showing signs of wear.

INTRODUCTION The second in a series of three Century-class vessels, Celebrity’s Galaxy first hit the open seas in late 1996. Boasting close to 10,000 tons more in weight than her predecessor, Galaxy stops just short of hitting the 80,000-ton mark. ...

Pros: smoking kept to permitted areas, great vegetarian choices
Cons: some staff members need better customer service training or personality training

As you read this review, please keep in mind that it was written by a first-time cruiser, and I have no basis for comparison on most points. Also, I traveled with my partner, so my perspective is that of a young couple (early-to-mid 20s). We booked ...

Pros: For the money, Celebrity ships still rank superior luxury to other mass market cruise lines.
Cons: Not quite as refined as other Celebrity cruises. Too many "Regular Joe's" with wild teens.

GALAXY 6/9/03 11 Day Eastern Caribbean Having covered the globe with numerous lines, dozens of sh ...

Pros: Loved the sea days and the dining room service and food.
Cons: Rooms were small for Concierge Class. Indifferent room service.

This was our 17th cruise and the last 5 have been on Celebrity. The ship is smaller than the Connie or Millie but that didn't bother us much really. The rooms were MUCH MUCH smaller but we still had a good sized balcony. I loved our location (1200) But ...

Pros: Great Disabled access, Excellent food and service
Cons: None

I am pleased to report that 'Galaxy' was the best wheelchair experience I have ever had on holiday either on land or at sea. I went on the September round trip from Baltimore to Canada and New England. I hired an electric wheelchair for the occasion - a...

Pros: Staff, rooms, vacation value
Cons: pricey shore excursions, drink prices, some ports left room for improvement

I sailed on the Celebrity Galaxy for seven days beginning February 1, 2002 to St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Barbados, Margarita Island, and Aruba. My husband and I traveled with my parents and my sister and her fiance. After nearly not getting off the ground...

Pros: Attractive,well-maintained ship, room steward service good, very good food, stable ship
Cons: Slow dining room service, pool crowded, too much emphasis on shopping, no laundromat

My husband, 11-year-old son and I sailed on the Galaxy on July 19, 2002 out of Baltimore, which was convenient since we live in the DC area and could drive right to the dock. Ports were Key West, Cozumel (Mexico), Belize, CoCoCay (a private island) and...

Pros: Good food, service, very, very clean
Cons: A 20 min. wait to get on the boat.

This had been the 5th cruise I have been on, and it was probably the best one I have been on. We got a room with a balcony by the water, and it was great. The price for this room, including the fees for the ports, was about $950 dollars, and we thought...

Pros: The Galaxy is a beautiful ship and the prices seemed fair.
Cons: The whole cruise was nothing like my other cruises.

This is a very long review/letter but If you have ever thought about taking a cruise on the Galaxy, you must read this review first for your own protection. This is a copy of the letter that I will be sending to Celebrity. The ship was late returning ...

Pros: Great relaxation with all you can eat food. Awesome destinations. Never stopped having fun
Cons: Room was small, only for sleeping

I had never been on a cruise before. And to be honest, I was sceptical.

I had heard they were just like sitting on a boat and getting sea-sick. BOY WAS I WRONG

The trip that I took was a family reunion with my cousins,...

Pros: Alaska is gorgeous!
Cons: Alaska is rainy too!

August 11, 2000 - Celebrity Galaxy Inside Passage - "The Second Time Around"

Earlier this year I decided that a cruise through the Inside Passage might be a nice idea since the summer is so hot and humid here in Washington, DC––a...

Pros: Nice clean ship, great food, and good service.
Cons: Smoking is allowed in most common areas (except dining rooms and theatre).

Celebrity Galaxy - 10 day Western Caribbean 12/13/02 - 12/23/02

My goal with this review is to touch on the highlights and at the same time hopefully answer many of the questions I had before we took this cruise. Nonetheless, this review is...

Pros: The Food, Beautiful Classic Ship
Cons: Had to get off after 7 days! :(

12/12/98 Celebrity Galaxy Southern Caribbean Cruise out of San Juan, Puerto Rico

We booked our airfare separately from Celebrity since we had a nice coupon from American for a free companion ticket--so we splurged and bought one business class...

Pros: Great service, friendly, wonderful itinerary
Cons: Hot in July :-)

This report consists of two sections, the cruise and the ship overall and secondly, the ports visited, tours taken and our impressions on what to see or do. Overall, the cruise and the ship were outstanding. Yes, there were a few items which could ...
