We chose this cruise as it was a nice introductory length after lockdown and because we have sailed with Celebrity several times before, we would not be too far from home and the itinerary was good.

However in our opinion some things had deteriorated on Celebrity, namely the quality of food in the Grand Cuvee restaurant which was not consistent, and also the speciality restaurant Tuscan Grille which was very disappointing - the food was over seasoned and just dropped on the plate with no effort or care taken, the tables are chipped around the edge and the table mats quite stained. There was no colour, plants or flowers anywhere and the experience was very far removed from our previous experience in the Tuscan Grille on other Celebrity cruises.
