First time on Celebrity Cruises. Very disappointed with dining room food .Bland and not hot. How many times can you ask for food served hot. How many times do you serve lamb and pork, as the Chef choice. Dining staff tried their best but understaffing was a large problem. Ate mainly in Oceanview Buffet area. Food was varied and tasteful. Evening dining was quiet, rather then the noise level in Trellis due to amount of guests and music(?) in background. Cabin staff was great. Lack of lounges was a problem. Many where broken or "reserved" for guest who did not arrive to occupy them for hours. Yes hours. Wonder why major maintenance on outside stairs (sanding and chipping of paint on Sea Day) near dining areas was done. Entertainment was either was very good or bad. Spot lights on audience during performances was very annoying and Cruise Director was advised of this during an open talk before a show.
All staff members and Officers where very visible and friendly. Excursion could have less stops at tourist buying stops (personal opinion).
