Review summary

Bring your own chair, Celebrity does not have enough seats at bars, cafe and buffet. If I had known I had booked a 7 day Sardine cruise would have stayed home. So disappointed not usual Celebrity quality. Trying like airlines to pack us in and hoping staff will be able to cope. I have Elite plus status will not be trying for Zenith with this level of crowding. Truly sad that they are ruining their brand like this.

Ocean view buffet was overcrowded, so much space missing they had to bring deck furniture inside. If you have to put signs asking us to vacate once finished you have a problem you need to fix and aren t.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Layout and design sorely lacking for full passenger count. If I want to be a sardine will take a subway.
