Just off the Apex and the food (Breakfast and Lunch) in the Ocean View was up there with the best we have experienced on a cruise. Every station was open and a wide selection available, service was also fantastic. 

The main dining rooms were a bit of a let down for the first few days, food quality was excellent but portion size and choices were definitely lacking. Not a huge problem, once we realised we just ordered an extra main to share or some mash on the side. The dessert choices were the same almost every night (applie pie, ice cream etc.) with the exception of Chic night when the fabulous baked alaska made an appearance. 

However something I've never experienced happened, I'm not sure if this is due to complaints or if it is specific to the Apex, our waiters announced that they had a special that did not appear on the menu. A couple of examples were a Shrimp Pasta in lobster sauce, beef filet which easily matched what we had in the speciality restaurants. Also these specials were slightly larger portions and were delicious. 

All in we loved the food on the cruise, glad the classics are making a return as we really like having those options every night. 

This has happened to us as soon as we checked in, all our OBC has vanished and items we purchased with OBC have now been invoiced to us. 

Also an additional £600 has been added to our cruise fare despite everything having been paid in full already. 

Looks like it'll be yet another lengthy phone call to Celebrity and hope we get an agent who is aware of this issue. 

Would anyone be able to share a link to watch the Turkey webinar please? 

Thanks

Great idea to bring our own tests, thanks for that. And hope the rest of your cruise was good. 

Just to correct the above post, Grey Goose is certified as Gluten Free.

Another vote for the lemon tarts, yummmmmm. Also they sometimes put out blueberry danish in the morning, totally delicious.

Brilliant, thanks for this :)

Great review, thanks for all the information. Very helpfull.

For those folks on the 27th Feb cruise here is a link for the roll call, it doesn't show up in searches as the ship name is not in the thread title.

Hello,

Thanks for posting the review. Really great to get some more information, I'm going on this very cruise in a couple of weeks.

Is there any way you could make the compass clickable? They are only appearing as medium size pics in your posts and I can't quite make them out.

Cheers

Oooooh, so excited. Cheers TeamTrom.

We fly out in the morning, its a fair old trek from Scotland.

Hi, great report so far. We're also on this cruise and can't wait.

Do you know if there is anything special planned on board for Halloween?
