Review summary

We have been on several Celebrity cruises and had high expectations on the quality of the cruise line based on past experience, The crew was very disorganized, inattentive to guest's needs. Lack of inventory (wine, soda and others items). Food was not up to the quality or variety that we were used to getting in the past.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Very disorganized. Waited for three hours to enter ship in Dubai

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Speciality restaurants were very dissatisfying! Wine lists were limited and were out of very many wines that were on the list. Buffet was the best but the food was very spicy

Fine Cut Steakhouse

1 out of 5

Ordered bone-in filet and got a different type of steak that was very tough

Luminare at the Retreat

2 out of 5

Variety on menu was much too rich for daily diet,

Retreat Pool Bar

5 out of 5

Excellent bartender

Oceanview Café
