Review summary

have had wonderful experiences with celebrity in the past. on this cruise the ports of call were a mixed bag - some good, many not very good. the food in the sit down restaurant was pretty awful. ended up eating spagetti and meatballs in the buffet restuarant way to often. the shore excursions were way over priced for what they offered. I hope celebrity has not changed its business plan to cut as many corners as possible but this cruise had that feeling. I would not refer anyone to take this cruise. We had planned, based on previous experieces, to make celebrity our cruise line of choice but we have changed our mind based on this experience.

Sorry to read tht this ship is not up to Celebrity standards.  I hope that this does not hold true for other ships in their fleet.  I have been on two other ships & liked them very much.  Thanks for posting.  Gloria

Thanks for the review. We’re sailing this ship roundtrip from Venice late this summer – sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it more. Hopefully the different itinerary will make a difference.
