Review summary

Unforgettable, but in a bad way. Eliminating Celebrity from future cruise consideration. Started good and went downhill.....

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The most unimaginative food in 20+ years of cruising on Cunard, MSC, Princess, and NCL. Service in the main dining room very uneven. Good in the buffet slightly better, but still boring. Skipped the specialty dining, as we had no faith in either the food or service.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
1 good speaker, and that was it. No lectures on the ports we were visiting. Not interested in their evening entertainment.

Entertainment

Not interested in their selection of performers.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Service basically indifferent. The daily gratuity has been raised so high that the staff appears to do the minimum.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
All good. Uncomfortable sofa, but that is the norm on cruise ships.

Ship tip

At present, we will not consider Celebrity for future cruising.

Celebrity cancelled this stop.
