Poor selection of food in Main dining, pasta was cold 2 occasions. Specialty dining too expensive especially with the mandatory 20% tip even after my tips were covered in my cruise booking.

Review summary

Not the same Celebrity as I went on in 2019 as far as personalize touch that you expect. Food from main dining not as good as it appears they moved the better selections of meats to their Specialty Dining to try to take more money from their passengers.

Specialty dining too expensive. Main dining seems to have moved the better meal selections to their specialty dining venues to try to extract more money from their passengers. Pasta dishes arrived to our table cold on 2 occasions. Personal touches have been lost. For our 51st anniversary we only received a piece of dessert but previous Celebrity cruise we received rose pedals and towel kissing swans on our bed. Spa was very over priced with a mandatory 20% tip added. Cruise disappointed us.
