Review summary

Overall cruise was good however, we were very disappointed to get our final bill with a charge for a mini bottle of wine out of the cabin minibar for approximately $27.00!! This was a small bottle and there was not a price list in our cabin for the minibar. I wonder why??

Food and Dining

Trellis Restaurant had small meat portions and some of the vegetables were served cold. The Oceanview Buffet had limited selections and was less than quality.

Two bad experiences with guest relations personnel. David and his assistant in the Trellis Restaurant did an exceptional job.

If you have been on 4-6 cruises, how do you still have questions about gratuities?

Mini bar prices have always been insanely high. I'm just surprised people still use stuff from mini bars.

I, too, used to get disappointed when I ate at a fine dining restaurant and the sommelier described an off-menu wine selection, I ordered it, and was shocked when the bill came. I discovered that I can ask and find out the price before ordering/drinking it, instead of assuming it will be a price that I think is fair. Did you just assume pricing, too?

You wonder why there was not a price list or why it was $27 for a small bottle? I think the answer to both is money for the cruise line. It's too bad they don't post the costs but if it's not posted, you must assume it is going to expensive.

As always Celebrity cruising is the BEST, Fantastic gourmet food, lovely and pleasurable boat crew, spa areas for a lovely adult ambience only experience, just a wonderful relaxing getaway. Can't wait to cruise with Celebrity again!
