I have not sailed in quite some time due to Covid and wanted to try Celebrity’s newest E-class ship. It is beautiful; adult focused and has outstanding entertainment and technology. Cabin was fantastic. Martini Bar and Stern Bar now much improved. Also, the ship was spotless and the service was second-to-none. The ship was at about 60% occupancy. It was wonderful to cruise again.

I missed the set seating times since they have switched to anytime dinning. You now have to book a higher class cabin or suite for that now. Only issue is that the selection and quality of the food in the main dining rooms and buffet has materially declined. I understand the cost of food and supply issues as well as the huge debt that RCCL has to pay off, but my preference would be to pay a higher price. However, dinners at the specialty restaurant Eden were fantastic. Did not get to Le Voyage but others gave it positive reviews. (Little Chef was a major disappointment since is seemed like old technology and very unsophisticated on such a ship and should be eliminated). In short, great ship and experience but cuts relating to food have gone too far.
