This is our fourth cruise on Celebrity. We wanted to see St Petersburg so had a three day tour with SPB which I would highly recommend. It our was so nice to be in a small group and the guide,Lena, was excellent. We did not eat in specialty restaurants because we found the meals excellent in the dining room and the choices in the buffet exceptional.
I did not care for some of the jazz and the singer Lauren who sang in the main foyer. As the average age was probably 70, music should be geared to that age group. Two of the shows in the Theater were too loud and because the songs were not familiar, you could not understand the words. Maybe I should change to a Holland America!
My main complaint with Celebrity is that they will not put Bridge games in the daily bulletin. They put it on the bulletin board by Guest Services - 10am - 2pm. In the card room. There is no sign up sheet, cards or score cards. No one wants to play for four hours and it is not drop in because you have to be there at 10 am if you want to get a partner. A lady whose husband had brought her in a wheelchair did not find a partner. Many handicapped people can not play the physical games which are organized by the staff. Cards are available at Guest Services. I have complained about this issue to Celebrity but they said that since it is not organized by the ship, it can not be put in the bulletin and yet other groups not organized by the ship are in the bulletin. There are Bridge Cruises but who wants to play Bridge all day?
