Review summary

This is our fourth cruise. We have tried Disney, Royal Carribean, Princess and   Celebrity Cruises. Since we have a point of comparison, we found several thingss that needs improvement. First, lobster dinners are part of the formal

 Night menu and

at

NO additional charge. Neither is the soft served ice cream/gelato on

board for

Sale. It has always been free

or

part or what was already paid.

Second, quality of entertainment is repetitive.

First time

we

watched a show that changes the thene for the night but juggler and acrobatic acts are mainstay of entertianment.  Boring!

Lastly, please

provide a

movie theater. If. When bored to death of repetitive shows, we would have gone to

watchibg movies.

instead

One highlight of the cruise, the

Filipino

crews on board. They provided excellent service as expected

The lobster "issue" depends where you sail. Did several cruises with royal in the Med - no lobster. In the Caribbean - no problem. Plenty of lobster at formal night. So I would say cruising in Europe lobster is to expensive for the cruise lines to include it in the regular dining. That's what I experienced (but: did a cruise to Norway with German cruiseline AIDA they offered lobster even at a buffet 😋
