After only one sailing within your suite class, you lack the experience to compare. Many Celebrity cruisers have always, in years past, had a fabulous dining experience in the MDR. Majority have never paid 40k for what you consider "superb" to sail the Caribbean. Botton line: It's another cutback and many are unhappy. Patty While I can appreciate that, I am looking for a possible canary in the coal mine. I've followed enough threads on this forum to recognize changes have often been swift and widespread. I just need to know if in about ten weeks they'll have menus of hot dogs, kosher or otherwise, as replacement for everything else. Basically, do I pack my charcoal grill and three gallons of lighter fluid for barbecuing or not? This stuff is bulky and heavy to carry around, let alone unnecessarily redundant (and possibly dangerous) unless needed. Besides, I want a chance to gripe, too. 🦖 Edited June 20, 2023 by 4-2-N-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to pack and not on Celebritys prohibited items list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once your butler gets the grill hot, I'll stop by. 😁 Can't wait to relax on your balcony and enjoy a good meal. 🌭 BTW ~ Less than 10 weeks! 🇬🇷 Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevigny Posted June 20, 2023 #33 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Omg, who is monitoring their social media accounts? I’m trying to think of a worse reply. Certainly does not inspire confidence that Celebrity wants to be a cut above. We’ve been lurking for a while, as our last cruise pre-COVID was fabulous. Really starting to re-think Celebrity as our back in the pool cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octavias Posted June 21, 2023 #39 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I sent an email in. I’m really concerned about this. I have food allergies and filet mignon is/was the safe entree I could have in the event that nothing else is safe. I recently shopped around and we paid more to sail with Celebrity that we would have with Princess or Carnival. I feel like we’ve already paid the upcharge for those steaks in our higher fare! We also thought we were buying an experience where we wouldn’t be nickel and dimed. Yet here we are. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bjahil47 Posted June 22, 2023 #42 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I emailed Celebrity Executive Offices today. I just received a reply from them that they would like to talk to me about the dining room changes. I am to respond to them with a phone number and best time for a call. I am impressed, it was not a canned response. I will respond and await a call! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
