I find this fascinating! I couldn't disagree more. We like Celebrity but just got off Eurodam in Alaska. We found the service to be much better on Celebrity as well as the food. Service was hit or miss, and the food was just meh. Service and food was good in the specialty restaurants, however. We were in a Neptune suite, and while we loved the space, the value for the money was not there. We had to sign out cans of water (not refrigerated) in the lounge if we wanted them. Canned beverages were not restocked frequently. For us, HAL is one and done. We even got a free cruise offer and we passed. It just is not for us at all.
