328.1 | Celebrity/Chandris ?? | USPMLO::NOLAN | | Fri Oct 25 1991 11:07 | 8 |
| I have a brochure of the Celebrity Lines, the rooms etc. look
beautiful. I am not quite sure if the Celebrity Line is the former
Chandris Line. If it is, we have been on their line and were pleased
with it.
We love cruising so any ship I think would be fine.
Good luck !

328.2 | Never again!! | FSTTOO::SIMPSON | | Fri Oct 25 1991 15:37 | 13 |

My wife went on Chandris (now Celebrity) before we were married
and absolutely hated it!! The ship was not at all stable and
rolled terribly. She spent the entire week on Dramamine.
The cabin was small and not that great, the food was ok
(when you weren't so ill you could eat). I thought she was
going to fly home from Bermuda, instead of continuing on the ship.
We have since been on the SS Norway (NCL) and she said that there
was no comparison. She has sworn never to go on Chandris (Celebrity)
again.

328.3 | Celebrity is their higher line | VMSSG::KILLORAN | | Mon Oct 28 1991 16:15 | 23 |

I heard that Celebrity is the higher end of the
Chandris line. We saw the Horizon last
April and the ship looked beautiful. We spoke
to a couple of the passengers and they said they
were really pleased.
We were on RCCL Song of Norway and a couple at
our table took the Celebrity Horizon the year
before. It was their first cruise and they
booked it last minute. They really liked it.
The room was larger on the Horizon and it's a
new ship compared to SON.
If you can get a good deal then go for it. The
ship is huge. If your concerned about sea sickness,
you may want to book a cabin in the center of the
boat.
Don't compare this to Chandris.

328.4 | Name changed to protect the ??? | FSTTOO::SIMPSON | | Tue Oct 29 1991 09:14 | 13 |

One note of interest.... Celebrity has done a refurb on the ship
my wife was on (see .2) and changed the name. Granted, sprucing
up the ship may make it nicer, but it won't help the ride. BTW...
she was in the center of the ship and it didn't help. You might
get a better trip if the ship sails out of San Juan or another
Caribbean island... that way you don't have to cross the Gulf Stream
like you do out of Florida.
To my knowledge, there is no Chandris line anymore.... Celebrity
took all of their ships.

328.5 | Horizon | FRAZZL::MOSCHILLI | | Mon Nov 04 1991 15:27 | 16 |
| RE: 2. .4 - What was the name of the ship your wife was on? Isn't
Chandris the name of a Cruise Line -- not ship?
We are booked on a small Group cruise on the Horizon the week of
January 25th, sailing out of San Juan. From the brochures and video,
the Horizon looks beautiful. I believe this is it's second season so
it will be like new.
The same agent who has booked us on the Homeric (now Westward) and
S.S. Norway, highly recommended the Horizon to us. I have to go with
her judgement as she knows us and what we expect from a Cruise.
I'll post a review note after our trip.
