Review summary

A good cruise as they all are, but a noticeable step down in quality of food and beverage and service from the Edge which we were on in August. We mistakenly thought these would be similar levels albeit different ships but were disappointed they were not. We had sailed on this ship and others in this class pre-COVID so had a basis in our expectations. Hopefully this was just an aberration and this ship will get its mojo back.

Embarkation

Celebrity makes embarkation a non-event

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

This Celebrity ship has lost its mojo when it comes to food & drink. Hoping it was just an aberration and they will regain their previous excellence

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool hot tubs appear to be delaminating and in need of replacement.

Sure hope it's temporary. We sailed the Silhouette 3 times pre covid and loved it!

Makes me nervous that we've been spoiled by the Edge. We've got cruises coming up on the Summit and Silhouette.
