killaypirate Posted August 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Once negative feedback starts the ball rolling, other people who may not have bothered previously will now give their own assessments of current standards. Perhaps this downward spiral has been masked for too long by not enough people speaking up sooner. Will be giving X one, & only one, more chance following the school dinner menus suffered in MDR on our recent cruise. But before that Princess cruise next week, only 4 weeks since Silhouette cruise so can comment on the Princess v Celebrity debate. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patty1955 Posted August 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2023 We have an Asian cruise on Celebrity scheduled for March 2024. After that we have 2 cruised booked on Oceania. I'd love for the Celebrity cruise to blow us away but I'm not counting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted August 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Unfortunately, its just supply and demand as their bookings are strong. If and when their bookings decrease they'll lower their pricing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpie90 Posted September 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Just returned from a cruise on the silhouette. the menu in the Main dining room is sub par to what it used to be. on Chic night no Lobster or Beef Tenderloin not even any Steak of any Sort. really going Down Hill. Spoke to the Maitre de and He Agreed But was out of his Control. He had to ask if he could get a new york strip for our Grandaughter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted September 1, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Just as they let us bring one bottle of wine per passenger, do you think they'll now let us bring one steak per passenger with a cooking instead of corkage fee? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmbar Posted September 1, 2023 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Have not been on Celebrity since 2019. Sailed on Regal and Sky princess since and loved them. We are on Equinox for third time in October and this will be our last Celebrity. Very disappointed at the pricing and removal of many perks available to Elite and to others. I am hopeful that our cruise in October in Aqua will not be a disappointment. We are booked again on Sky and on the new Sun .Princess Pricing was MUCH better than Celebrity for mini suites and the new cabana mini suite on Sun. Will report back after Equinox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you suggest that these duplicate threads complaining about Celebrity cuts be combined into one all-purpose complaint thread??!! Don't you realize that some people's comments are just too important to be relegated to just another post in an existing thread? It should be obvious to all that their comments warrant a brand new thread so as to stand out from all the peons complaining about the very same things that they are unhappy about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the point I was trying to raise. But the flood gates have now opened. Will Celebrity address these concerns? Very much doubt since the next in queue will take our places. Perhaps it was a bad choice of title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
