Sail Date: Mar 2015

This was the fourth time I have taken a cruise, and will be the last (at least on Celebrity).

Celebrity, like many corporations, seems to be focused on only one thing: maximizing profits at any expense.

My wife and I are middle-aged and we tried Celebrity for the first time in March. Little did we know that they were marketing their all inclusive beverage package to college-aged students. Result: The boat was full of drunken, foul-mouthed, half-dressed, classless college aged students who shared their drinks with their underage friends and took over the entire 10th and 11th floors (e.g, 18 people in a hot tub intended for 8) -- quite the contrast to the propaganda produced by the marketing staff which shows pictures of a cruise with only one couple in a hot tub. The cruise line received multiple complaints during the cruise but despite repeated written and oral requests to the passengers, they were unable to contain the situation so that the rest of us could enjoy our cruise. Customer service would later respond that they are not responsible for the behavior of other guests -- funny, since Celebrity's decision to market an open bar to college aged students is what caused the mess in the first place. If you search the web, you will find multiple legitimate news articles highlighting the dangers associated with cruises.

Stayed on the ship for it was the only time we were able to use the pool area since 95% of the drunken college students on spring break left the ship.
