The staff in the dining rooms were the best! I have a garlic allergy and they happily prepared food for me. The excursions are another story. They start far too early and go too late at times. We lost over an hour waiting on a bus at Patmos And our guide cut us an hour short at Ephesus so he could stop us at a rug maker/sales pitch. No one at excursion desk could give us times for the trips or specific details. We will not cruise with Celestyal again.
