Barnos Posted November 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hi All, We are about to join a New Year cruise on celebrity Equinox's and are really looking forward to it. It's a long time since we cruised with Celebrity and we've heard there have been some "changes " ... in particular we seem to have the impression that the buffet restaurant is not open or available on embarkation day?.. this seems a bit odd – could anyone clarify. We're going to be in concierge and there seems to be a meal available in the MDR.. but is the Buffet also an option? Were also hearing strange stories about the quality of food in the MDR and the fact that some charges seem to have crept in there? my memory of the MDR was always that it was pretty good, with quite a bit of choice each day plus a selection of regular meals e.g. steak, chicken , salmon always available as alternatives.. is that pretty much how it is now? I expect the New Year cruise will be busy, we are on I think they call it "like dining" which usually let you dine more or less any time? .. Where used to waiting a few minutes, but we've heard that at peak times you can wait longer – has anyone got any feedback on that. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated big smiles and many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
