Here's a brief synopsis of our experience.
The ship is beautiful, clean, well-maintained, etc. Nothing to complain about there.
The food was a big disappointment. I must say that there was nothing wrong with it (except one veal dish that was absolutely tasteless), but the presentation made Carnival look good, and the variety was really disappointing. Also, we really loved the pasta course with every meal on Princess.
The entertainment on Celebrity was amateur class, mostly. This is an old complaint there, though.
Embarkation was much slower than necessary, but disembarkation went smoothly.
There was clearly friction in the crew. We saw crew reprimanded several times in front of passengers, sometimes for the tiniest of infractions (using chipped ice instead of ice cubes around the milk on the buffet, for example). This is a sure sign of poor management.
The buffets moved well, however. But there really was only one midnight buffet.
Would we go again on Celebrity? Sure, but we won't believe that stuff about superior food or service again.
