Creator's Key Takeaways

I'd been on the Celebrity Edge a couple of weeks ago. That's why we broadcast live from the Celebrity Edge and we had that whole conversation about the retreat cuz I got the Celebrity Move up.

My only experience of of getting really fresh food was on the Celebrity Beyond a couple of years ago where and I I did touch on briefly last week that the Celebrity Beyond's Eden restaurant was the best food I've ever had on a cruise ship ever, bar none.

I never thought that I would be served lobster that I couldn't eat because it was served in the most disgusting way.

I always advocate for spending less and then you're never disappointed because the people that overpay, they always get a sense that they've you know, is it worth it?

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the main dining rooms rather than the buffet for a more sanitary and served experience.
βœ“Take advantage of free breakfast in the room if offered, even if it's just continental.
βœ“Find out which nights are special nights in the main dining room to not miss prime rib or lobster.
βœ“Consider specialty dining for lunch when it's often half the price of dinner.
βœ“If you want a really good steak, go for the lunch service at a specialty restaurant.
