The best REVIEW on the dining options on Celebrity! Nice job!

[elmarty]

This was so helpful. Thank you for this, we were wondering about what was actually included in our price and what was not. This was so helpful to the first time cruise.

[barbaramorris]

Thank you for this amazing review. This will be our first Celebrity cruise and you helped me plan.

Back in 1990 the food was superb..stayed that way till about 2004 when the food in the MDR and Blu was not very good at all. In fact the food in Blu at that time served sometimes the same food as in the MDR...Stayed that way a few years...Then the cuisine started to begin the slowly start making a comeback...about 2010 to 2015 the cuisine in the MDR improved but Blu was still lagging...The big turn around after 2015 happened...The cuisine in Blu made a comeback and the MDR was holding its own...in 2019 till the present the cuisine in the MDR is very good...in 2022 I booked a Eastern Med cruise from Italy to the Greek Isles...The Cuisine on the Edge was probably the best I ever had on any of the 35 cruises I have been on....The 4 main dining rooms each were absolutely wonderful...Eden Lunch was a delight (Do not miss the prime rib sandwich in Eden during lunch)
My next point, if you mainly book Aqua Class for Blu, there is actually a better option though the food in Blu is very good. I would never book Aqua Class on a edge class ship due to the fact that the food in the 4 main dining rooms are that good...Blu is just not worth it if your main reason is for the cuisine. However if you are a foodie, there is a option that can be better then Blu on the Summit and Soltice class ships..In most cases if you book a specialty restaurant each and every day, it would actually be cheaper then booking a Aqua Class cabin, as I said if you are a true foodie...Maurano possibly one of the best specialty restaurant on any cruise ship, that includes Oceania a luxury cruise line... beats Luminae and Blu as well as the The lawn Club is another out of this world specialty restaurant. You also can go book a Sushi Restaurant, as well as the Porch a seafood restaurant and Tuscan and then you have Le Petit the choices are endless...The biggest draw for Aqua Class, yes you can go to the Pursian Gardens, But if you are going on a cruise in Europe, You will never use the Pursian Gardens because the Excursions for the most part are 8 plus hours at each port...The other big draw that hardly anyone mentions is that ONLY 2 people are allowed per Cabin MAX in Aqua Class which makes it one of the most quiet areas on the ship.

I’ve only had amazing food experiences on Celebrity. I’ve been on the Summit and all of the Edge class ship’s numerous times. Buffett, main dining, Blu, Luminae and all specialty restaurants have been amazing. Le Voyage was over the top!

Doug, I can't tell you how much this video was so helpful! There is something for everyone's taste. Everything looks so delicious, classy, and welcoming. I can't wait to book a cruise with Celebrity. Thanks for sharing.

Great information! We are booked for our first Celebrity cruise in March on the Ascent.🥰. Your video helped me understand the differences between, early, late and anytime. We are creation habit and usually book early but we want to try all the MDRs. So we picked anytime to give it a go. Thanks again!

[jsgnhws]

Very informative. Thanks for your help!

[kalyncharles]

Okay you were VERY clear, but just to confirm... (on Edge), Cyprus, Cosmopolitan, Tuscan, and Normandie provide complimentary meals? I only have dinners reserved, so would I be able to eat at the Oceanview Buffet for breakfast and dinner without reservations? Thank you! You're very informative!

This was very helpful. I'm travelling solo on Celebrity Beyond in November on a 9 night cruise to Grand Cayman and the ABC's. I've purchased a 6 night specialty restaurant package. This gave me a good idea of what spots I'm going to want to try.

[MrGMountain]

Love that you provide a recap at the end.

[garyleung]

i just got back from an Alaska cruise with Celebrity Solstice the first time after hearing a lot of positive comments in regards to their food. I would have to say, the qualitiy of food at the buffet is somewhat disappointing especially breakfast. Everything seems to be very salty and greasy, the breaskfast sasuage and bacon was hard as a rock. There was not enough selections on fruit choices nor desserts either. Having said that, I do think the food in the MDR is of better quality but only on selected dishes they recommend. The positive thing in the MDR was to my surprise, every dish was served hot and that's really nice.

Overall, it was a nice little vacation and the only thing got me wonder was that the stateroom attendants don't do animal towels anymore. I guess this is not something they do now, maybe it's been like that for years? We had a few conversations with some of the crew onboard and learnt everyone has long working hours with very late dinner. I tipped all of them everytime I see someone who was passionate and dedicated to their work. This makes me wonder how's the pay working on cruise line?

I think I'll be sailing again in the future but haven't decided which cruise I'll be sailing with. I'm considering booking for next year, is there anyway I could get better deals if I was to book now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The only option we had for dining was anytime (Ascent in January). I went in today to reserve times and nothing earlier than 9:00 or 9:30.

[kparcparc]

Can you ask for a private table for two?

[justwatching]

Is there a gluten free station in the buffet on Solstice class ships? Thank you for all this info.

[angelinamartinez]

I am sorry but I have to ask this because you didnt announce it, and I had this bad experience on COSTA....do you have to pay for regular water in dining room? Not bottled just regular because we had to on COSTA but we had a nice waiter and he didnt make us pay for it.

[jlawrence]

There are some things that the viewers need to be aware of. While the food in the buffet is very good, there is NO COMPARISON between the selection available on the newer Edge Class ships and the older Millennium class ships. Yes, they have the basic set up but the Edge class ships have more stations and more variety. Also, the selection of the food at the dinner buffet is more limited as most guests actually use the MDR and the specialty restaurants for dinner. About 40% of the dinner traffic after 7 pm in the buffet is crew.

I think that Celebrity has the best service that I have ever seen on a large cruise ship. It also offers a good variety of Asian foods, especially Indian dishes that are very well executed. In general, the food was very good but the people at the Mast Grill could not prepare a properly done golden french fry. Yes, seriously.

[gregorytoomer]

Listen to that video. You sound like you’re the head chef on the ship

[maysow]

I selected the early dining option on celebrity as that was the only option available at time of my booking. I don’t usually eat that early so I’m concerned that I won’t be able to eat much at all. Can I have only appetizers at my selected time and come back at a later time on the same night to have a real meal?

[SharonStern-mp]

Do the Celebrity specialty restaurants have vegan options?
