thebutlerdidit Posted June 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I see this on the main dining menu for Equinox via the app. Edited June 19, 2023 by thebutlerdidit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I see the same thing on some MDR menus for July. Extremely disappointing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkroad Posted June 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Interesting. I don’t see these on the app for my December sailing on Silhouette, but they don’t seem to roll out such changes to all ships/regions simultaneously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebutlerdidit Posted June 19, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The screen shot is of tonight’s menu. I’m not on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted June 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Is it just me or does that seem ridiculously expensive? One course only so no special starters or desserts no different venue…I would rather book a speciality once a cruise for a full experience than do this on two occasions in the MDR. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find this all a bit tacky. We’re back to Celebrity next month for the first time since 2020. In the interim we’ve cruised 3 times on Azamara. After our Celebrity cruise we’ll decide on our favourite. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silkroad Posted June 19, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2023 We certainly wouldn’t pay these upcharges for meals in the MDR (or Blu & Luminae). We board Apex next month. I’ll certainly post if I see new upcharges on the app or once I board. Haven’t found them on the app yet. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accessor Posted June 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2023 "Premium Selections"...for additional price. X is making the jump to "Non-Premium" cruise line, charging for upsell entrees in MDR like Carnival and RCCL does... 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted June 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2023 You've got to be kidding me! I've been relatively supportive of the 'they lost tons of $$ in the pandemic so we need to accept some changes' crowd but this crosses the line for me. 23 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my upcoming cruises paid in full, but Celebrity no longer feels special. I’m icked out by all of the additional charges. I’m having guilt about talking up Celebrity to family members. Since we booked last November, the slashes to quality and inclusions have been ruthless. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanb10567 Posted June 19, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 19, 2023 This is disappointing. This is exactly the nickel and diming that shifted us away from other cruise lines. Before I started sailing Celebrity all I would hear is how good the food is. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkroad Posted June 19, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I would think that if people refuse to order items having these upcharges, Celebrity will back off. Of course, they may instead raise fare prices - again - across the fleet. Looking at the current Equinox sailing on the app, they’re offering these “Premium Selections” every night in the MDR. I don’t see them in Blu or Luminae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerelmx Posted June 19, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I noted that no more all time appetizers and entrees , no more shrimp cocktail in the appetizers, etc Edited June 19, 2023 by gerelmx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susanb10567 Posted June 19, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Not that long ago they added the $16.99 charge for an additional lobster tail.. does this mean that included lobster is no longer on the main dining room menu? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs Fans Posted June 19, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 19, 2023 This is nuts if it’s going fleet wide. Looks like our August sailing on Summit will be our last Celebrity cruise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diav Posted June 19, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Going on the Equinox this Saturday (if we don't get cancelled due to TS or hurricane). Will there still be lobster included in Chic night? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dlh015 Posted June 19, 2023 #24 Share Posted June 19, 2023 How do these 'Premium' MDR selections compare with what is offered in the 'Specialty' venues?? I'll be sitting out X cruises for some time I guess...seems obvious this is going to be fleet-wide... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CunucuMom Posted June 19, 2023 #25 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I notice they added a double cheeseburger to the MDR menu for our September Equinox cruise. 🤣🤣 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
