We did a 2 night Millie cruise (Dec. 2) as an add on to our transatlantic. Worse mistake of our life.
This also was not a normal Celebrity cruise. They ran out of food at breakfast at the buffet, people sat anywhere in the dining room instead of their assigned tables, kids were running around the dining room, the disco lounge was filled to capacity, the bars had people stacked 5 deep, men were smoking cigars in the elevators and outside the dining room. It was a zoo and a bitter ending after the relaxing transatlantic. And these were adults and families - not college students . I really thought this cruise would attract the normal Celebrity cruiser because the per day cost was quite high.
I did speak with the maitre'd about late breakfast station being out of food 15 minutes after it was supposed to open. He stated that even though they prepared extra food, they weren't able to keep up with the demand and had to open the late station earlier in the morning. He had never seen anything like it in his career with Celebrity.
I will never take a short cruise again. I think that on a short cruise, people are trying to get the most for their money and/or time.
My new idea of short is 7 days.
