Thank you for your review, confirms what I had written. I was hoping it was just my cruise and things would get better. I read more positive reviews on the s class ships. Think I am done with e class. I have a b2b booked on the new ascent next January probably last one on this class unless things change. Hope they do.

Is this allowed?

Please let me know how the ship and the trip is on the Westerdam, going on her in June and looking for all the information I can. so they did not upgrade any bedding or curtains in the rooms I take it. mainly interred in your take on the food. thank you so much!!!

Thanks everyone, sounds like the coffee pot is just taking up space…..sad to hear.

Does anyone know what brand of coffee pot is in the Neptune suites? I would like to bring some of my own coffee pods.

I’m sorry to see all the ugly comments that people choose to say on these boards, but I have said this before and will say it again, as long as celebrity’s passengers go along with all this extra charging and tipping it will never change. It will also never go away. I’m sad to see that the majority of comments I read are not upset by these extra fees, downgrading of the food experience, not having the ships staffed properly, lots of excuses for celebrity. It is sad that this is happening to the cruise industry under the assumption that Covid caused this to happen yet the CEOs of this industry still will get their millions of dollar bonuses, so keep paying these up charges, keep getting less then fine cuisine in the main dining rooms so you will pay to eat in the specialty dining rooms. will I stop cruising….no…will I switch to a more upgraded cruiseline? Possibly. I will also continue to find the best deals out there, will not order room service and if I should eat in a specialty restaurant there certainly will be no cash tip as there always was in the past.

Thank you very much, my grandaughter will be staying with us in the room, it looks like there is not much room once the pull out couch is open.

I have a corner aft Neptune suite booked in June for Alaska, we will be on Westerdam. Just a couple questions. Nothing comes with this suite but free laundry which I probably will not use for a 7 day cruise, is this correct? am I allowed to carry on any soda? I am in stateroom 5191, has anyone been in this suite on Westerdam? thanks in advance for any replies

I am glad you enjoyed your cruise on the edge, I’m hoping mine was just a one time bad cruise. Was this your first celebrity cruise?

You’re welcome, and I do hope you have a better cruise and things on board get better. Could have been an isolated number of incidents on ours.

Yes salmon on menu everyday

This is so disappointing, we board the Infinity on Feb. 25 and I was so hoping it would be a better cruise then the one I just finished on the Edge. we have spent a lot of money on these two cruises to not even get a steak unless we spend more money to get one. the wait staff on the edge in the main DINING ROOMS WERE AWFUL ON THE EDGE, and what’s with the butter?? Never enough and none offered for the pathetic lobster tails. I have to quit dwelling I guess and hope for the best. How was the ship? Your cabin?

I would not get too upset if there is no lobster, I just got off Edge and I’m mad I did not take a picture, it was the saddest looking smallest little lobster I have ever seen, two bites at most. So enjoy what they have and know you are not missing much.

Edge travelled about 400 less then full capacity is what I was told.

I was honest, and we aren’t affecting the workers being honest, Celebrity is doing this to their workers by doing what they are doing.

Sad

There is no main dining room experience on the edge any longer it’s all select I believe, I could be wrong but from my recent experience I believe that’s the way it is now on the edge class ships.

Edge just had outdoor movies. Not much seating but if the weathers nice it’s fun. I just saw Elvis, finally. Good movie.

Honestly I’m done writing anything negative after this last comment but it is all so fresh in my mind right now. as elite or above there has always been a private disembarkation room, there had been coffee and danish available for those of us in there waiting on departure. Well you can probably guess….nada, nothing, I can’t tell you how many people were asking if there was coffee or tea, the response was always “no, no coffee”. I am sure that the suite experience is probably still wonderful but for the rest of the cruisers it is a big change. Not a good one either.

Is he the captain on the edge now? I so enjoyed the edge captain, he was great

I think sadly I agree with you. I really have been honest on the food, it was very disappointing as was the service most times. I do not believe for the price you pay for a cruise that a filet or prime rib can not be offered one night on a cruise. We did eat in rooftop grill and Eden, the food was very good as was the service but you had to pay to get a steak. I also don’t understand the lack of seafood other then salmon. The rooms are still serviced twice a day, chocolates on the pillow, and celebrity cabins are still some of the best out there I do believe, we had an aft real balcony and my friends had an IV they need a handicapped room and no real balconies are offered to them other then a suite. I do hate that design on the new ships. oh well, I’m on to the next one and hope for some food improvement on the Infinity. I also agree with the poster that said as long as we keep accepting their up charges and cuts they will continue to do it, what is the solution? You do need to hit them in their pocketbook I guess and sadly move elsewhere.

I hope you still love it after the cruise. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts. Just got off edge, posted a review a few minutes ago. I do hope you have a wonderful cruise give us your review when you can.

Just got home today from a very very different Celebrity cruise. First let me say, I am elite plus so I am not a newbie with celebrity, secondly I love cruising and even though this was not the cruising style I am use to I enjoyed myself just being on the ocean and enjoying the wind, weather and sounds of the sea. now…..the ship is clean, the staff try, but whatever has happened to this cruise line in a year is hard to understand. the buffet is drastically cut back in the evening, no pasta bar, but there is a stir fry area, there are breads and cheeses, dessert choices, fruit, salad bar and a station with food of the evening. That is it. Pizza is always available in the back, which I love. I ate twice in the buffet for dinner, had stir fry each night and ate pizza quite a bit for lunch or a snack. Drinks were terrible the number of fru fru blended drinks I got, BBC, DIRTY MONKEY, MIAMI VICE, PINA COLADA, more than half of them were undrinkable. Not blended enough, not smooth and creamy, no drinks were ever made the same which makes me wonder if the bartenders were ever trained. The number of servers in the pool area was not able to keep up with the number of people at the pool. now the biggie, the main dining rooms. There was never a steak on the menu for all 10 nights other than the always available sirloin. No filet, no rib eye, no prime rib. The beef choices were short ribs, beef bourginonne, which was like having stew, I like stew, but I do expect a little more on a cruise. There was lots of pork, lamb, a pasta choice each night, black cod in one of the restaurants, other than that not even much seafood. my big disappointment was the stale breadsticks (which I love and look forward to) and do I even want to mention the lobster? These lobster were so small they looked like they would be illegal to keep if caught. Mine was served upside down with the shell showing, the meat was tough and no melted butter was offered to sprinkle on the lobster. It was served with a pile of rice pilaf and broccoli. We never had enough butter at our table of 6. No coffee was ever offered after dinner, not once! We were informed a charge of 16.99 plus 18% gratuity would be charged if we wanted another lobster….who would??? Desserts were for the most part good, the bananas foster tasted like old bananas that probably should have been thrown out so they used them for dessert, plus they were not nice sliced bananas they were one banana cut in fours, you were served two of those 4.. I really don’t know what else to say, did I go hungry? no. Did I enjoy my dinners? Not really, I’m very saddened as to what has happened to what was my favorite cruise line We leave in a month for Antartica on the Infinity and I can say my usual excitement is just not there, I’m sure I will love the scenery and the thrill of being somewhere I’ve never been but 14 days of this food and service is not my idea of a celebrity cruise.

We just today got off the edge, no prime rib, no steaks other than the everyday sirloin. Lots of pork, very limited fish, lots of short ribs that tasted like chuck roast, and some lamb. Really not like cruising of old (2022 and before) service is lacking, really a disappointment. Did I enjoy my cruise? Of course because I just like cruising. No excellent grades for Celebrity anymore from me though. drinks were hit and miss, no two were ever made the same, I don’t know how to explain it other the just saying it’s nothing to rave about anymore. Makes me sad.

I am on the edge right now. There is a 9.95 delivery fee for room service, but..there is more then continental for free. Cereal, coffee, fruit, danish, yogurt, muffins, croissants, milk, juice, the 9.95 is basically for a cooked breakfast. All dinner and lunch there seems to be a charge. I am a long time celebrity cruiser and will probably not book with celebrity again not because of the restaurant fee but everything else that is so noticeably cut back. I am sure 1st time cruisers are enjoying this cruise as the don’t know any different, maybe that is celebrity’s wishes I don’t know, the dining room experience is so downgraded but the rooftop grill was great. service has been pretty bad in the dining room also.
