This was my first cruise ever and had high expectations for Celebrity based on
reviews from family members. Having just got off the boat, I am, in a word,
disappointed. First, and most important, the food was less than adequate.
Breakfast (both in the dining room and on the buffet) was exactly the same every
day. Additionally, the seaside grill, which is the only place you can get food
on the boat in the mid-afternoon served the same burgers, hotdogs, pizza and
fries every day. The lunch buffet was disgusting. Dinner was generally good, but
nothing to rave about. Second, a number of celebrity's employees were rude.
Particularly, those assisting with disembarkation and shore excursions. Finally,
Celebrity charges extra for things that should be included such as aerobics
classes and seminars (wine tastings).
Grenada and St. Thomas are great ports of call. Barbados is horrifying. Ladies
-- do not travel on Barbados alone. The men are very rude and make you feel
uncomfortable.
