Dawg - not sure when you last sailed on Celebrity, but I think things are changing. I didn't wright this post to bash the cruise line or upset anyone. Just trying to let folks know what I really experienced on my recent cruise with Celebrity. It really did happen. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it didn't.

Not sure what is happening to CS but I did notice the cruise line is starting to nickle and dime like the other cruise lines. Perhaps they are starting to cut back on liquor as well and this sail may have been an attempt to see how to cut back on bar service. Glad to hear your July cruise was not affected.

I'm a seasoned cruiser. Just sailed on the Equinox for a 6 night cruise. Not a heavy liquor drinker, maybe a single drink in the evenings, and just a cappuccino in the mornings. I didn't buy a drink package because the out of pocket cost is cheaper than buying the drink package. I had a room with a balcony which was very nice and the room attendant was awesome! The food on the ship was good. Went to the Craft Social Bar on deck 5, the service was slow and the staff was very rude. I think they were over worked. This is one of the busiest bars due to its location. Didn't seem to be enough staff for the number of customers. Never went back to this one. Next I tried the Ensemble Lounge, paid out of pocket $9 +tip +tax for a liquor drink that didn't appear to have a drop of liquor. Couldn't taste it and never felt it. Let's move on. Apparently the liquor drinks on this ship are not worth buying or getting for free. Rest of the cruise I ordered a single glass of wine in the evenings.
