First time sailing on a Celebrity ship.
FOOD: The Cosmopolitan food was mostly excellent at dinner. Some items were just OK but nothing was bad. Our table typically ordered more than one appetizer, and/or dinner, and/or dessert which was not a problem. Since Sunday is an at-sea day, there is a big brunch buffet from 10am-1pm in the Cosmopolitan - which was also excellent. Other than brunch, we only ate dinner here though it is open for other meals.
The daily breakfast buffet has lots of options and is good. The setup is duplicated on each side of the ship, but you can only get pancakes and waffles all the way at the back service counter which was very inconvenient. Waiting for a custom-made omelet can be annoyingly slow, especially when the cook is only using one burner when 2 are available. The lunch buffet seemed good, though we only caught the end of it (2-2:30pm) twice. Salad dressing was lacking on some days (only 3 choices). After 2pm until 11pm, you can only get salad, pizza, pasta, fruit, and small desserts on the buffet. You need to eat in the Cosmopolitan to really enjoy the best food. There are 2 formal nights - Sunday and Thursday.
