We just got off of a 10 day cruise on the Equinox on 2/9. We were a group of 8, 4 of which had never cruised Celebrity before. The lack of waitstaff servicing the pool area was an issue throughout the entire cruise. We would occasionally see 1 person coming around taking orders but it was rare. You would however see 3-4 people walking around pushing the cheap watered down drink of the day but they would not take a regular bar order. Because of the lack of waitstaff, the pool bar had very long wait times. We got to the point where we would just walk up to the oceanview bar to get drinks. We have been on 34 cruises with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean and never have seen it this bad. It left a very bad impression with the 4 first time cruisers in our group. This issue in addition to all of the other cuts that have been discussed repeatedly on this board have us looking to other cruise lines. We will be trying Virgin next year and the rest of our cruises this year are with Royal Caribbean. Celebrity brands itself as "modern luxury" but with all of the cutbacks, they are eliminating the things that used to differentiate them. We don't have any additional Celebrity cruises booked at this point.
