Review summary

It’s like airlines booking planes without pilots praying for miracle. Celebrity is filling ships to brink without ensuring adequate staffing. Inexperienced and understaffed they are doing their best. But celebrity is charging high fares expect and demand better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Overcrowded bedlam select diners not knowing they can reserve. Walk inns line ups lousy dining service in restaurants sommeliers overwhelmed. For celebrity and price I paid expect better. Ocean view at busy times you need to go get your own drinks at the bar with line up. Tip get drinks first or food will be cold. When ship is this packed need more STAFF
