I am not going to detail all our every moves but to sum up how we felt and how we were treated aboard the Celebrity Constellation.
Embarkation - It was smooth and easy. Punch and water were provided while waiting, and champagne flue-ts awaited all as you board the grand old "Connie". Every member of the crew were all smiles and so very helpful.
Stateroom - clean clean clean. We had a concierge c3 veranda on deck 8. We had one some time ago on deck 9 and found the overhanging deck above to blot the sun. As Concierge class we had fresh flowers, fruit, and 4pm snacks every day in our room. The red rose in the bathroom was a nice touch. Steward and assistant were ever so friendly and meticulous with the attention to the room's condition.
Cabin 8148 was spacious and concierge class. Same size as Aqua but hundreds cheaper. Great amenities, flowers, bottle of champagne upon arrival.... Nice category and class. Stay off deck 9 if you want sunny and quiet areas. Deck nine can get a bit noisy on sea days.
