Our cruise on the Ascent ended Dec. 24th and the sea food buffet was on the last sea day, Dec. 23rd. It was a total zoo to say the least!! Buffet was supposed to open at noon. People were lined up before 11:30 am. Lines at noon were 30 to 40 deep. No plates left by the time you reached the beginning of where the food started. Different lines at the stations had different seafood items. Many people were in the wrong line for the items you wanted. No organization at all. After 40 years of cruising, it was the worse fiasco I have ever seen! People that were lucky enough to be in the correct line for the items they wanted, left the line with 2 plates of lobsters and raw shrimp piled to the brim! After a few sailings before our cruise, you would expect better organization from Celebrity and if not, do away with this free for all! Might have been better to add a $10 p/p surcharge at this point to control the crowd.

Same situation with us! 1:30 to 2 pm. Only time offered! Could still be a glitch and other times might come available as time goes on. My other thought was, this happens to be the very first cruise from Port Canaveral after repositioning from Galveston so just maybe Rccl might want more time to organize boarding at a new port/terminal. But I really think it is a glitch in their system and it will get fixed in a timely manner. Hopefully!

Since the Oasis is now in Bayonne, NJ, anyone know who the Suite concierges are? Thanks for any input!
