1/8/23 Aboard Apex Oceanview Cafe report

Aloha. First experience with Celebrity was on the Meridian then the Horizon and so on. Each time noticed the gradual change towards the masses. Still a good product and experience. Our mediterranean cruises on Celebrity were a tad below Cunard but not a game changer.

Three choices and two are tilapia and turkey...  Sigh...

That says it all indeed.

Tilapia is a garbage fish.

This is the best X can do, yikes.

Downgrading indeed and paying more for it.

Below is a link to video from Apex with a detailed walk through of the Oceanview Cafe dinner cutbacks from the Traveling Gamblers who were on a B2B (December and January 2023, and know their OVC offerings):

This is beyond sad.  Several of the items appear as if they could be leftovers.

 

For anyone that ever gives or sees praise for Celebrity pizza, the pizza doesn't even appear as fresh or plentiful as when it is setup at the dedicated electric pizza ovens.  Most people live within driving or delivery distance of better looking pizza. 

 

Vegetarians: note the butternut squash sharing space and a gloved hand with the turkey.   Celebrity must have run out of space to keep the one maybe hot vegetable separate from meat.

Yes. This Apex menu was posted in another thread. It's just missing the dining room specific options, Tuscan, etc.

What a truly dreadful unimaginative menu.

Awful. I've not long booked on X for the first time (well a Reflection cruise booked for April 2020 was cancelled). It's my fault that I am a 'fussy' eater, but equally, it's going to be Caeser salad or onion soup followed by steak nightly at that rate. Disappointing!

Wow. Slim pickings there. Such a shame.
