Just came off after 10 days cruise. Premium is not worth it anymore. The wine list for by the glass is very short, and we discovered that they were out of stock on some. The better wines that used to be in premium ( Conondrum, Edmeads, Chery tart etc) is now over Premium limit price (USD17) In main dining room standard wine menu, only 3 reds and 3 whites listed. One red over price limit, and one white not in stock. It really has reduced value compared to before pandemic, and price has gone up !

Was on the same sailing and reacted as you ! This was our 15th 10 days or more cruise with Celebrity, but we jave not seen this picture before. 63% of passengers over age of 75 is a record for us….. We have seen on earlier sailings before the pandemic that age average has been over 60, but this has been ok. The average age is not a problem. It only causes a different crowd flow in main dining spaces, and deck areas. Gets quiet early. It also decreases the party factor that seem to be increasing on shorter cruises. This really shows in onboard entertainment in lounges and bar areas. There are no longer a quiet spot on sun deck on Solstice class ships ( other than the solarium) and the party music in lounges and bar areas is aimed at people age 30-55 ! Our first cruises on Celebrity Eclipse and Silhouette in 2011,2012 were a lot different and more diverse entertainment wise.
