Review summary
Ship is well maintained, clean and in fairly good condition. Overall quieter, more relaxing atmosphere than on RCL or Princess. Older more mature crowd with very few children or young couples onboard.
Food has deteriorated and is no longer in the same league that one was used to on celebrity. Even lobster tails are smaller than ever, steaks tend to be a bit tough and service is a bit inconsistent.. Even food in specialty restaurants such as Tuscany grill is not what it used to be,, Standards have changed downwards in Celebrities quest for more profits.. Food whether breakfast or lunches at anywhere but the buffet end very early and are only one and a half hours so most people miss them and are forced to eat the cheaper even less quality buffet.
While they push hard to empty ship by 1030am all that does is cause long lines once you are off- they quickly wash their hands of you.
RCL which owns celebrity needs to spend a little more per passenger and restore celebrity to the once great brand it was..

Ship tip
Do the math on the cost of the drinks package- You pay a lot and if you only drink three or fours drinks per day the cost is simply too much- you are way better off paying by the drink..
