Sixteenth cruise, six with Celebrity, first on Constellation, second no-fly departure from Southampton. Car to City Cruise Terminal using AP&H's efficient "Meet and Greet" car-parking service. Easy embarkation to outside stateroom 2077deck 2 midships (to offset the Bay of Biscay) with the first item of luggage arriving within an hour and the other two within another thirty minutes. Met with Cruise Critic members at Seaside Aft bar on sail-away. We went to the Captain's party for Cruise Addicts members on first day at sea. After this we met only one CC member throughout the cruise.

There were small unimportant differences on Constellation from the other Millenium Class ships we'd been on previously but none to alter the pleasure of being onboard. We used the AquaSpa for some breakfasts and lunches. Also used the Main dining room and the Seaside Buffet, mostly the quick serve pizza place. We also used the Elite Members breakfast facility. We used the Main dining room San Marco on a table for ten for the evening meal except the last evening when we went to the Ocean Liner's for a pre-birthday celebration. The variety of places to eat made for a more enjoyable experience.

A major event was the outbreak of novovirus. Celebrity responded quickly and efficiently and contained the problem. It meant, however, self-service was replaced by the crew members pouring coffee etc. This was a nuisance as there were queues at coffee points. The innovation of tea and coffee facilities in the room solved some of the problem.
