Here's my problem with Celebrity. It wasn't unrealistic expectations whatsoever. It wasn't perfection at all. I expected a similar level of quality that I received in 1999 in 2001. It's 2 years later. I didn't get it. The Constellation's level of overall service, level of cuisine, was below the standards Celebrity itself had established. However, so was the price. My wife called this cruise Celebrity-lite, as it seemed watered down compared to previous Celebrity cruises.So, I think Celebrity, as a premium line, should be more expensive than it is, to keep quality standards up. I think the reason why there are no new ships coming out from Celebrity is that they don't want to water down the product any more to try to fill up the ships, get the current fleet up to a higher standard, and sorry to say for some of you who expect bargains from this line, get the fares back up to where they should be.
