Here\u2019s Why (Podcast #583)","description":"Celebrity Cruises has changed \u2014 and depending on the kind of cruiser you are, you may think those changes are exciting or feel the Celebrity you once knew is disappearing. In this video, I look at how Celebrity Cruises has evolved from the more traditional premium cruise experience I first knew into something rather different. I explore who Celebrity appears to be trying to attract today, how the newer Edge Class ships have helped reshape the brand, and why cruising on different Celebrity ships can now feel surprisingly different. I also look at the growing differences between the experience offered to standard cabin passengers, AquaClass guests and those staying in The Retreat, and how Celebrity is becoming increasingly class-driven. Along the way, I discuss changes I've noticed in food, service, crowds, families, entertainment and the overall atmosphere on board \u2014 including what I experienced on my recent Celebrity cruises.
