Review summary

Food was cold and cold food was warm. Only hot coffee was from the coffee bar. The crew tried to fix the problems on our cruise to no avail. It was a Shakedown cruise and we suffered through it. Our friends who are Celebrity cruisers were embarrassed and the people we spoke with said don’t rate Celebrity because of this cruise. We sail Carnival and for the price we paid for this trip, we could of taken two 7 day cruises with Carnival. We were told we would never sail Carnival after we sailed Celebrity. I don’t think so. Never experienced any of this on Carnival. Our friends are trying to talk us in a cruise called the ABC’s this fall but we are very Leary doing so. We spent a lot of money on a Shakedown Cruise. I built Submarines, Air Craft Carriers and overhauled cruise ships at Newport News Shipyard as a test engineer and I felt the frustration of the maintenance team on this ship had to deal with these problems.
