Celebrity Cost Cutters
We cruised on the Celebrity Equinox in the Mediterranean in July this year. The cruise was good but we definitely noticed that they had been cost cutting particularly with the drinks that were being served. I’m not sure how they managed it but every mixer they served whether it be coke, lemonade or tonic water was flat. They serve high quality expensive gins and vodkas and then waste them with cheap mixers that went flat the second they were poured. The rose wine on the standard drinks package was undrinkable and they had the audacity to charge $12 for it. Whoever chose this wine should be sacked. However what I couldn’t understand was, whoever thought it was a good idea to have Newcastle brown ale on tap at the pool bar. They definitely saved money on that one as I never saw one person order it the entire cruise. Celebrity chose to cut costs and believe me, it was noticeable.
