Having just gotten off the Equinox on 11/5, the staff cutback was definitely noticeable. Bar servers in most bars were invisible. Every night after we were ready for the evening we would go to martini bar. Not one single night did we wait les than 40/45 just to be ask what we wanted. If you are sitting less than 6 feet from the bar and it takes that long somethings wrong. You almost felt like you were bothering them. Now when you got the drink it was great, problem was getting it.
The food in main dining room, nothing special, ok at best. This was our second Celebrity cruise, usually cruise HAL and Princess, so we are not novice. The ship was lovely, itinerary great. Service and quality lacking. I remember be so excited to see all incredible selections on the nightly menus. Certainly was not that way any longer. Vacation is what you make it, we had a fantastic time, will cruise again probably not with Celebrity.
