Celebrity, in our experience, has the most separate courses. It is just too

Which cruise lines were those? I have not yet encountered that yet. In
the last 24 months I have been on one RCI cruises, one Princess cruise
and three Celebrity cruises and they all had seperate soup and salad
course although I have choosen myself to skip one of those courses.

HAL does four course dinners, and it's great IMO. There is no big
formal change of course and you can get a couple of plates piled up,
but I think that's fun.

The waiters also seem less stressed out for some reason.

Another thing I wish Celebrity would eliminate is the dessert tray,
which is shared by waiters and again, you have to sit there while
every other table looks at it.
