Just booked my retirement cruise with Celebrity this morning. 9 night Mediterranean mid-May. I splurged for the aft facing concierge cabin. Should be a real treat!

Carnival has some good food too, but yeah the buffet isn't going to be nearly as good.

I’d try just about everything I saw on this video. I’m going to have to try oxtail if it’s offered on a cruise because it’s $25.99 a POUND at the grocery store and I see people buying it. I want to see what the big deal is. 🙂. DH would love the donut extravaganza! 🤣 The cakes on the final day were beautiful but I’ve noticed that the layer cakes don’t have a lot of flavor. Now….the cannoli display is another story. I could buzz through 3-4 of those NO PROBLEM. 😆. Thanks for the video. I know editing these things is hard work, and I appreciate it. 😁

Our pleasure- thank you so much for the comment Sally! 😊 Yup ox tail is quite expensive despite the bone being a large part of the weight! So that was a very popular dish- they kept running out but refilled fairly quickly. Agree about those desserts as well- those special "stations" like donuts, cannoli, chocolate shawarma, banana split, etc. that rotate help made those sweets look even more fancy!

@jlawrence0181

You ought to look for oxtails at Mexican or Korean ethnic markets as I generally buy them in the US$6.99-9.99/ lb price range depending on the store in Phoenix and Las Vegas. If you cannot find them at a reasonable price, try using beef shank. Do realize that either meat takes a minimum of 4-6 hours to get tender. Also, I have found that both dishes taste better on the second and third day.

I wanna try all the donuts

Yes, you can bring drinks & food from the buffet as much as you desire. People do that all the time and you’ll see them in elevators all happy to have their own party or simply enjoy a nice private and chilling meal in their cabins.😊

I was wondering if the stir fry station offered tofu as a protein option. Thanks again. This is great information. We've narrowed our search down and Celebrity Cruises seems to have plenty for vegans to eat at the buffet.

Thank you very much! 😊 There wasn't a vegetarian protein option such as tofu at the stir-fry station as far as we know. In fact we overheard a fellow guest there asking about the available of any vegetarian protein option and was told it wasn't available, but you're free to grab anything from the salad bar to have the chef stir fry it for you.

That's a Pina Colada (a pineapple drink with coconut & rum) flavor cake. The Rockfish is actually really good- has a bouncy texture. And yeah maybe that wasn't mashed potato- I might have made an error there. Maybe it was horseradish. The salmon has a little bit of beet flavor but not very much. Those fish were display only, but you can point at it and they will grab one from the fridge and cook it for you 🙂

The best looking item was the candy apple. Most of the food did not appeal to me..thought there was a lot of grey/brown food. Not you camera fault...it was the food. I have no sense of taste or smell so I look for eye appeal and texture. Look forward to your videos.
