Hello Everyone im new to your boards.

March next year its my 50th Birthday and my hubby has booked the Penthouse on the Galaxy, but after reading some boards on the condition of the ship its a little of-putting, has anybody been in this suit or about to any feedback on the ship is appreciated.

Thanks

Angie

First of all, welcome to Cruise @ddicts!

I've sailed in Galaxy's Penthouse Suite, though it was a few years ago. The suite itself is very spacious, but even in 1998, there were a few things that weren't working properly (the entertainment center in particular). I have no reason to believe, however, that it hasn't been repaired by now.

You will read pro's and con's about this ship. I sailed on her once, and have made no effort to return to her - I did not care for the decor, the food or the service at the time. But I again stress that it was 1998. A lot could have changed since then.

But to get back to her Penthouse Suite, the accommodations ARE lovely, and you should be quite comfortable.

Let me wish you an early Happy Birthday!

Welcome to the forum..
I have not been on the Galaxy nor any of the C class X ships but like Ship says above. There are always good and bad things about every ship posted throughout the internet. Keep in mind that the persons with the "Negative" things are usually way more active and trying to prove a point rather than those that are comfortable and happy and just don;t have the same motivation.
Do you homework as best possible and go for it with your eyes open. The Galaxy according to my own reading and processing to date would be a ship I would likely sail on but I know that the Century and Mercury have been upgraded so would be my first choices in that class.
The Galaxy should be next but I'm not sure when. Maybe you could check into that.

Angie,

I have sailed on Galaxy twice, though never lucky enough to be in a Penthouse Suite. The ship is fine, so far as I am concerned, but it is not my favorite Celebrity vessel by any means. The Millennium class ships are far more spacious, with more things to do. And, the refurbished Century, while smaller than the M class ships, has most of their features. I would always favor them over Galaxy if the itinerary and price were the same. Unfortunately, they seldom are and we get faced with trying to weigh trade-offs.

You will get exactly the same menus, service, shows, etc on any of the X fleet, so those shouldn't be of concern to you. In my mind it really boils down to the specifics of the cruise you have booked. If you have a good route at a fair price, don't fret. If some of the other X ships have equal or better routes and prices, then switch by all means.
