Never again Celebrity
I have been on many cruises and could not say which cruise line took me where, except for my cruise with Celebrity last week, I will not forget that and for all the wrong reasons Firstly the “always included “ classic drinks package and tips. $71 per person per day( advertised price on their brochure) is more than a bit steep for a moderate drinker, numerous other passengers expressed the same view, and one of the bar staff told me the ship left Southampton with only 2 cans of draught Guinness on board, not very much for a week’s cruise with about 2400 paying passengers. And though the staff were fantastic I don’t think tipping should be compulsory and they could well get more from voluntary tipping. Secondly the food. In the main restaurant the portions were tiny and the quality and variety in the buffet restaurant was well below anything I had on any other cruise. One night my partner had lamb and in her own words after removing the fat there was more “meat” on the plate when she finished. Thirdly the entertainment, apart from1show it ranged from at best mediocre to awful. I feel sorry for the staff, they work really hard and are always smiling and cheerful but they are badly let down by Celebrity. If I ever do cruise again, I have my doubts after last week, it definitely won’t be with Celebrity
