I have so many bad feelings about this. First, letting go the butlers mid-contract. That does not help morale at all. Celebrity seemed to have better employee satisfaction rating than most mass-market lines. Every butler we has was great. Some were almost miraculous in anticipating our needs. I hope they have good compensation and find new positions quickly.
Second, when we purchased the cruise, it was advertised and a personal butler. I know they can change, but shouldn't we be compensated for the change.
Third, still paying the tip for a full-butler service. (We really shouldn't have been paying for the same in the past when our butlers were assigned many more cabins than the higher suites.) Now, we don't have that intuitive butler who knows our needs before we even know what we want. Please take the time to send e-mails and post on Celebrity's Facebook page. Make sure they hear our voices.
