We chose this cruise as the places and timing were appropriate. We previously sailed twice with Celebrity and had a great time and good value.The food was terrific, the excursions were fine, the ship was lovely, everything was great so we came back for a third time.
What a mistake!!This time things were at the opposite end of the spectrum. Yes, the staff was great, The room was fine, the balcony was terrific. The food was awful. Really - PLASTIC EGGS!! Cut it with a scissors! It was so bad we told the steward to stop the afternoon snacks as they were sickening, though the fresh fruit was O.K. The complimentary in cabin sparkling wine was so bad it was undrinkable! The bar drinks were terrible. Yes, we had the package that came with the trip. If you do not care what you drink and just need alcohol - great. If you are discerning, then there is nothing to drink. Even Perrier (water) is not included!! Very pedestrian and a shameless way to get you to "upgrade" They tried this with add on specialty meals as well as the drinks, a continual up-sell.
Many developed a cough that only quit when we left the ship. Right away we felt better. Maybe the ventilation system needs checking as it could not deal with the pollution of the ports.
Cabin was spacious. Good shower and amenities. Comfortable bed, desk chairs etc. Good access to balcony. Everything worked. Cabin steward was great
