General Comments

Just got back from a Baltic cruise on 27th June.
In general the experience was good compared to others but what I really hate is the 15% service charge on all drinks. I would normally buy some expesive wine and champagne to treat myself on holiday but did not do so because I resent this charge on top of already over the top prices.

The cost of photos is also far too high and it was interesting to see the large quantity of unclaimed photos on the final day - come on guys - you would see a lot more and make people much happier if you charged a fair price.

Tips.............dont get me started! Even the entertainments director seemed to be embarressed about the subject in his final talk. People dont want to budget for approx $450-$600 for a two week cruise - we want it included in the price. Gratuities should be included in the price when booked.

Also the internet charges at $0.65 per minute on a very slow system is far too high. In 2009 I expect internet charges to be free or provided at a much lower cost to reflect modern technology.

On the whole though I did like the Celebrity Cruise product and if they sorted the above issues I would not go with anybody else in future.

The entertainment was generally good except the comedians who might work well in working mens clubs but not quite good enough for a premium cruise line. The Jaz band ( Les De Merle) was the best act on the ship - absolutlely first class.
