	Celebrity Equinox Review - 8th August 2009 An invitation to join the preview of the new Celebrity Equinox, the latest of the Solstice Class ships is something not to miss. Our host was the President and CEO, Dan Hanrahan. When I asked him his objective for the Equinox and its sister ships, he looked me straight in the eye and said “to be the best in the world”. This was no glib “PR” reply, but a more than obvious passion for his ships, and that was something we found throughout the Equinox. Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
	Independence of the Seas Review - 21st Feb 2009 This article is really intended for those who have never cruised, or at least, not with Royal Caribbean International (RCI). We had never taken a cruise, and it was the one thing we said we would never do. Having taken a seven day cruise around the Caribbean, we were left with only one possible conclusion. How wrong can you be, and when can we go again? Now RCI also depart from Malaga and Barcelona as well as Southampton. Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
	RCI Mediterranean Cruise Review - 26 Sept 2009 Voyager of the Seas is slightly smaller than the Independence of the Seas which we sailed with in the Caribbean and reported on earlier this year. Smaller it might be, if only by 20 or so metres, but it is still superbly equipped, and sailing from Barcelona for a seven night trip around the Mediterranean makes a very attractive proposition for a week’s break departing from a relatively near port. A more attractive option for those living in Portugal is Malaga, which will be an alternative departure port from next year, Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
	Celebrity Cruises Concierge Class Review - 30 Jan 2010 Celebrity Cruises are already world famous for their luxury, cuisine and service, so when you note they offer a special class on board all their ships, Concierge Class, it is tempting to see if they can improve on what’s already a very high standard. On a recent 10 day cruise around the Caribbean we found the answer - they can, and for a little more, they offer some superb extra touches that made the cruise an even better experience.   Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
	Celebrity Cruises Aqua Class Review - 31 July 2010 Think of the ideal resort for a wonderful, relaxing holiday. Obviously it will have luxury rooms, sea view terraces and five star plus service. Add a choice of ten or so restaurants, from Italian to Japanese and Healthy Cuisine, where there are no charges for whatever you choose from the menus. Introduce a spa and health centre, several swimming pools, indoors and out. Discover the lawn club, then add a ‘West End’ style theatre with star acts and shows but no ticket cost. That's only the beginning, read on... Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
	Celebrity Cruises for special needs Review - 7 Aug 2010 Last week we reported on the cruise ship Celebrity Equinox. However, there was one aspect we didn’t mention, and it really deserves some detail, because what they have done is outstanding, and that is not what we thought, that is what people in wheelchairs told me. The owners of the cruise line have also equipped to accommodate the needs of people with visual or hearing disabilities & those who requires dialysis or oxygen.

	Celebrity Constellation Review - 19 February 2011 The Celebrity Constellation is one of Celebrity’s four ‘Millennium Class’ ships, but due to the popularity of the newer and larger Solstice Class Ships, she has now been “Solsticised”. This might sound painful, but is really an impressive re-fit, bringing the first of the Millennium Class ships up to the same design and features as the newer, larger ships. Having sailed a year ago on the Celebrity Millennium, it was interesting to see what changes had been made. In addition, we had the opportunity to try a Sky Suite, which even comes with its own butler, and is very impressive. We also reviewed Celebrity's revised beverage package.

	Celebrity Solstice Review - 22 October 2011 If you have read previous reviews of the Solstice Class ships from Celebrity Cruises you will know we are great fans of their ‘Aqua Class’ concept. When Celebrity introduced this new class of stateroom they showed how devoted they are to adapting to the health-conscious way so many of us are now thinking, eating and living. The Solstice was the first of this new class of ship, and like her subsequent sisters, outstanding for pure class and luxury. Read review Page 1 Page 2    website     email     Tel: 210 329 416
