 What staff is on board my Celebrity Cruise?2024 Update! As cruising has become more popular than ever before, I wanted to update and include the wonderful Celebrity Cruises staff we've encountered recently. If you are curious as to who is the captain when you are cruising next, or what butler or stateroom attendant is onboard, take a look below! Have you cruised on Celebrity Cruises recently? Please add a comment to shout-out your favorite staff on board! Also, don't forget to write your stateroom review here. As we've taken a momentary pause in cruising, I can't stop thinking about my favorite staff and crew we've met over the years on Celebrity Cruises. We have cruised on other cruise lines, although our first cruise with Celebrity Cruises in December 2012 on Celebrity Reflection, has kept us faithful. My boys were 13 and 11 at the time. Since then, we've taken five more Celebrity Cruises vacations as a family. Because of the pandemic, we've sadly had to postpone our most recent cruise but we are excitedly booked for August 2021 to the Caribbean on Celebrity Equinox. Each of our cruises were made extra special by the attention and service we received from the Celebrity Cruises crew and staff. I want to recognize as many names as I can remember. PLUS, for the very first time, I'm showing off some of our personal family photos with memorable staff and crew onboard Celebrity Cruises. In response to the dramatic and sudden halt of cruising, the Celebrity Cruises staff and crew deserve much recognition. Whether we were in a standard stateroom or a premium suite, they always made us feel like a "Celebrity". A HUGE thanks from me, my family, and My Virtual Vacations, for taking time away from your own family to make our cruise memories and vacation dreams come true. Do you recognize any of the names and faces on these ships? Give a shout-out in the comment sections below with a personal memory or a special "thank you" to share with them. Please say hello to them from me if you see them onboard! #CelebrityCrewMissYouCelebrity Beyond, ABC Islands, August 10 - 18, 2024Here are a few of our favorite staff onboard Celebrity Beyond now. Their contracts do change often, as do their roles, but if you are lucky enough to have any of them, you are in for a treat. If you are onboard and see any of them, please tell them I said HELLO!

When planning our cruises, I can't thank the amazing staff enough who work behind the scenes to plan perfect cruise vacations for us and other families along the way. We have worked with Celebrity Cruises team members directly, such as Joyce Lopez, Lauren Motola, Jamie Barreto, Ana Maggiolo, as well as numerous other Celebrity Vacation Planners when calling the toll-free number (1-888-307-8413) over the years. They are ALL just as passionate about Celebrity Cruises as I am and I'm proud to now call them friends. VIRTUAL TIP: If you are looking for your own Celebrity Vacation Planner, send me an email and I'm happy to recommend! As all cruise enthusiasts are, I'm devastated to have cruising come to a sudden stop and having to re-plan and postpone my dream vacation that I've been so anxiously anticipating. Yes, cruising will have it's share of changes in the future. But I am confident that Celebrity Cruises and the staff and crew will make sure guests still enjoy lasting wonderful memories of their family vacations. I hope to be back onboard soon and see some of these smiling, familiar faces again!

We loved our cruise on the Solstice in March 2018 going round Australia and New Zealand. We met people from home my husband went to school with the chap. Met people who had emigrated to Australia and we had mutual friends back in Scotland. We met up with fantastic people every night at the world classis bar the waiters were fantastic fell in love with Dimitris hope that is how you spell it. We had freedom dining and staff got to know us and the table that we liked the waiters were wonderful. Can't wait until my next cruise.
