AHHHHH 100% NORMAL REVIEW. No wild graphics. no same ol' HipHop beat music. Focus on the food - visual and description. Truly the most helpful cruise food channel there is.
Joanne gives an honest opinion, all cruise lines have cut back on quality selections with lots of carbs to fill you up. I would go for the Indian curries, ramen noodles and duck if there is any left. Keep up the great work !
🤣 I was getting nervous because nothing was really appealing to me until 21:40 when the good salads and Italian food started showing up. I try to choose dishes that I don’t make at home when I’m on a cruise and the fancier Italian and Asian dishes are my go-to’s. And I will get the duck every. single. time. I need to keep an eye out for that “After Eight” cake next time. It looks good. My mom used to make devils food cake with peppermint frosting and I think that cake would bring back some happy memories. 😁 Thanks for the video and I want to wish Joann a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! 🎉
They decorated the After Eight cake really nicely as well! Oh yeah that duck was quite good 😋Thank you so much Sally- hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! 🥳
WOW, after over 60 cruises, we never really ate in the buffet for dinner but this looks amazing. I plan to eat in the buffet for dinner on our upcoming cruise after seeing all this. WOW
Twice in one week, I get to be the first to comment! Yaay! This made my day! Another great video, even if I did just finish my breakfast here on the East Coast.
The buffets look really good. I've never been to Celebrity Cruises and the buffet is a big thing for me so this seems really appealing. Especially the Apex one, though I like the idea of the ramen station. I can get really good ramen all the time so that is not a big deal. Love that they have lots of unique items to mix up the food on different nights of the cruise. I probably wouldn't need any of the specialty dining. And if I like the coffee enough at the drink stations, I might not need specialty coffee either. Great video as usual - love the comprehensive survey and the occasional taste test.
Our pleasure- glad you enjoyed! 😊 We really liked the buffet on the Apex as well- good quality and selection. We also didn't feel like we needed to eat at a specialty restaurant as they had quality MDR dinners, and the buffet was good too.
We sailed on Celebrity to Alaska last year and loved the buffet. Actually all the food we had was delicious. We were in Aqua class and ate mostly in Blu, but I liked the buffet even better. Service in the buffet was excellent.
Great video, per usual! I thought I subscribed to your channel a long time ago, but I didn't. I have now. We appreciate all of work and time it must take for your beautiful videos. Thank you. Also, your son has grown so much!
I see quite a few things I would enjoy here, but it’s not like the Celebrity buffet video you posted a few months ago. I can’t remember which ship you were on. I don’t think it was the Apex. All in all, this looks quite a bit of a step down from when you last sailed Celebrity. *I STILL LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE THE BEST!!*
Thank you very much Dustin! 😊 The other one was for lunch actually, and yup it was better with the different themes especially. Since most guests eat at the main dining rooms, the dinner buffets for most cruise lines are usually not as good as lunch, though there are exceptions.
Great video is always. The still photos are so helpful and you catch yourself saying yes or no to the various items. Just a quick note: it's Brussels sprouts with an S, as they're named after the city in Belgium.
Thank you for your always wonderful videos. We're booked for New England & Canada on the Eclipse in 2024. We can only hope that the Eclipse has the raman station. Is Millennium also a Solstice class?
Thank you very much! 😊 Nope the Millennium is the first of the 4 Millennium-class ships. So hopefully the Eclipse has that ramen station AND better food than the Millennium-class 🙂
The food still looks pretty good but I think the variety and quality have Ben reduced. Though I think it’s better than NCL, MSC and Carnival. Can’t wait to go on my next cruise. Thanks for posting!❤
Haven't heard that they removed it, and if they did I'd be very surprised. So the custom pasta station should be there, though if you find out otherwise would love to know!
Agreed. I’m really surprised at this… but then, the Celebrity brand is owned by Royal Caribbean. I don’t know if you’ve been on any of their ships recently, but I was on the Harmony a few weeks ago, and the Windjammer was quite a big step down even from this. Huge disappointment… Definitely several steps down from where they used to be.
Hello cruisers, compared to your Cunard dinner Buffet, Celebrity doesn’t compare in my opinion. I don’t see the big cuts of meat and the delightful desserts. I hope the restaurants make up for the carb heavy Buffet. Great video! Aloha
Thank you very much! 😊 Celebrity had good selections for the lunch buffet, but yeah for dinner it wasn't as diverse. But yes Cunard had some top-notch offerings. Aloha!
Thank you! 😊 We thought they actually slightly better selection of veggie dishes (e.g. at the carvings station, some curries) compared to other cruise lines. But yeah not the most impressive.
GM, I enjoy watching food videos the 1st thing it must be clean from sitting down to silverware, drinking cups ect I don't like to touch the same spoon while reaching for food :( I would prefer plastic gloves while severing the cooks should try to keep uniforms clean while going to food stations all foods might not be the best but give it a try reals on food home or out:).
I am seeing a huge lack of fish & seafood. And what fish there is, is ruined by being smothered in tomato sauce and fish "fingers" is NOT fish. Disappointing
On the Millennium I would say it wasn't that great when it comes to seafood, but on the newer ship the Apex you can have barramundi grilled and seasoned the way you want (see 3:52). But yeah heavy saucing is a classic technique to prepare the fish to cover up some of the fishiness.
HI Angela! That's a good question when it comes to food. I would say that the main dining room food for dinner on Celebrity is better, though for lunch Carnival has the edge with all the different eateries, especially if one prefers comfort food. As for buffet, Celebrity is better, especially the newer Celebrity ships.
I have never been on a celebrity cruise. only Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. I will say both are amazing , the service is amazing, the boats are all great symphony of the seas is amazing. the food was great on both ships . but in my opinion most cruise food is similar.
For us Celebrity does have somewhat higher quality food, especially in the main dining room. But agree with you that most cruise lines have good food overall.
In the last part of the video, I lost all of my hope because when you talked about ramen, nothing was correct. What you said about the ingredients in a ramen, what is a ramen, how they make it, the fact you confuse miso soup with miso ramen broth, the way you enchanted those ingredients (ingredients that don't match with ramen, to be honest)....it's all wrong. I suggest you to inform yourself about what you eat, because you have a large community and they deserve to know at least a little bit of knowledge of what to eat and what to not eat. Ramen and soba never stay together, so even this is absolutely wrong, also because for what regards soba, there are people who don't even know they can be allergic to soba and risk their lives, if they eat it. The fact they put these together and how they cook it, as much as the ingredients they let you choose, makes me understand how ignorant they are. These type of videos are not just saying "oh, it's good! Oh, it's tender ". They should inform people more about what you are eating and give your opinion based on the knowledge you might have about a specific dish. If you say that was a super amazing ramen, sorry to say, but you don't know what a good ramen is.

That's good to hear! Hope you enjoy the dinner buffet on your next Celebrity cruise!
This was very nice. I am counting my days until I get on the celebrity edge October 30 23.😊😊
Thank you! 😊 Have a wonderful cruise on the Edge!

My favorite part of room service was the croissants with whipped butter and whipped cream cheese and fruit. So good!
That sounds tasty- we'll have to try that on our next Carnival cruise! 😋
I might have missed it. What time does the buffet close. Opens at 5, right? GREAT VIDEO! Well done! Thanks!
Thank you! 😊 The buffet is open from 6 PM until 9:30 PM, though pizza will be available until 1 AM or so.
Very detailed, enjoyable video!
Thank you very much! 😊
Great video is always. The still photos are so helpful and you catch yourself saying yes or no to the various items. Just a quick note: it's Brussels sprouts with an S, as they're named after the city in Belgium.
Thank you very much- glad the photos are helpful! 😊 And appreciate the clarification on the Brussels sprouts! 🙂
Great video. Going to sail Millennium next year to Japan. Did they have shrimp & crab at the buffet?
Thanks! 🙂 They will have shrimp on some days though probably won't have crab.
@@TravelTouristVideos - 🥲. Such a bummer!
There food looks soo good....Im going to cruise in Japan for Next year....honeymoon cruise.
Congrats! Have an amazing time!
Great video. Thank you for labeling all the gluten free options 😊
Thank you very much! Happy to hear the gluten-free labeling helps! 😊

Yeah not as good as in the past but they still had some good ones especially on the newer Celebrity ship. Thank you very much for the comment! 🥰
Though I don’t see us taking a Celebrity cruise until at least 2025, there were LOTS of great choices. Looking forward to Le Petite Chef also
Yes the choices were quite good actually, especially on the Apex. Thanks for the comment Brad! 🙂
Anyone know if the dinner buffet still has the live pasta station? Thanks
Haven't heard that they removed it, and if they did I'd be very surprised. So the custom pasta station should be there, though if you find out otherwise would love to know!
Can you tell me which ship has the best buffet section and taste no salt.
It looks like the accountants are planning the buffet menus now on Celebrity. Disappointing.
Agreed. I’m really surprised at this… but then, the Celebrity brand is owned by Royal Caribbean. I don’t know if you’ve been on any of their ships recently, but I was on the Harmony a few weeks ago, and the Windjammer was quite a big step down even from this. Huge disappointment… Definitely several steps down from where they used to be.
Yeah it wasn't as good as in the past, but still pretty good though.
I make better dishes than this at home.
Hello cruisers, compared to your Cunard dinner Buffet, Celebrity doesn’t compare in my opinion. I don’t see the big cuts of meat and the delightful desserts. I hope the restaurants make up for the carb heavy Buffet. Great video! Aloha
Thank you very much! 😊 Celebrity had good selections for the lunch buffet, but yeah for dinner it wasn't as diverse. But yes Cunard had some top-notch offerings. Aloha!
Lovely clear photos. Celebrity needs to step up with the veggies for non meat eaters. Corn and pea stew?
Thank you! 😊 We thought they actually slightly better selection of veggie dishes (e.g. at the carvings station, some curries) compared to other cruise lines. But yeah not the most impressive.
GM, I enjoy watching food videos the
1st thing it must be clean from sitting
down to silverware, drinking cups ect
I don't like to touch the same spoon
while reaching for food :( I would
prefer plastic gloves while severing
the cooks should try to keep uniforms
clean while going to food stations
all foods might not be the best
but give it a try reals on food home or out:).
Dude... your voice sounds like the guy from the Channel SV Delos.
Hmmm- have to check it out and see for myself!
I am seeing a huge lack of fish & seafood. And what fish there is, is ruined by being smothered in tomato sauce and fish "fingers" is NOT fish. Disappointing
I was thinking the same thing! Seafood is what I look forward to on these cruises. They’re cheaping out!
On the Millennium I would say it wasn't that great when it comes to seafood, but on the newer ship the Apex you can have barramundi grilled and seasoned the way you want (see 3:52). But yeah heavy saucing is a classic technique to prepare the fish to cover up some of the fishiness.
Maybe they are saving the seafood for the sit down restaurants so that there is limited waste 🤷🏾♀️
Looks better than royal and ncl.
I would agree with that assessment
Nice video. Great info. The food was not appealing to me at all. Thanks and take care.
Yeah it wasn't as good as the past- too bad that's a trend for all the cruise lines it seems. Thank you very much Karen for the comment as always! 😊
Red green pepper tomato sauce herbs very gud
Lots looked good, however i was drawn to the duck
Yes the roast duck which was only on the newer Celebrity ship was one of their best offerings! 😋
Chimichuri good
Is Celebrity cruise nicer than Carnival?
HI Angela! That's a good question when it comes to food. I would say that the main dining room food for dinner on Celebrity is better, though for lunch Carnival has the edge with all the different eateries, especially if one prefers comfort food. As for buffet, Celebrity is better, especially the newer Celebrity ships.
Pastry more decor tnx
Seemingly, few people, if any, give any thought to wearing disposable rubber gloves as they handle every utinsel out there.
Marinara sauce ok
Is it possible to get a cup of coffee and go out on the deck and have a cigarette too?
Absolutely- though you just have to make sure to go to a designated outdoor smoking area.
@@TravelTouristVideos Thank you!
We didn’t eat the buffet scrambled eggs. They looked nasty.
Fresh saurkruaut cabbage fresh Gud one fresh no in can
I have never been on a celebrity cruise. only Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. I will say both are amazing , the service is amazing, the boats are all great symphony of the seas is amazing. the food was great on both ships . but in my opinion most cruise food is similar.

Are you Filipino?
Food is one of the staple reasons to go on a cruise. To see the quality lacking like this, and on pne of the higher class ships is disappointing
Whatever happened to a table cloth and a waiter or waitress service. All that food left to the elements.
Ratatouille egg plant zucchini yellow squaz onion medicine ok
Pastry no decor
noooooooooooooooooo ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yuck spinish and tofu
