Sail Date: Jun 2013

We are Floridians who decided to see Norway Fjords and Arctic Circle during longest days of the year (June). We were unsure what to expect, and also traveling on Celebrity for the first time. We have been on 8 other cruises, with other cruise lines.

Immediately upon arriving early onto the ship (we were told rooms would not be ready). We went to the Martini Bar, and met couples who were experienced Celebrity frequent cruisers, and who had many positive recommendations for us. The bar staff immediately introduced themselves and made us feel right at home.

Within 24 hours, we found a wonderful aspect of the Constellation: a mineral pool and Solarium, with healthy spa food served breakfast and lunch! This became our "go to" place for "at Sea" days, and generally just to relax, read, and watch people. Even above the Arctic Circle, the Solarium was always warm, and also there was quick access to restrooms, sauna, and whirlpools. During heavy waves at Sea days: the water "rocked" in the pool, like the real beach: making us feel right at home. The edges of the mineral pool had areas to sit, which had bubbling pipes that massaged muscles. The Aqua Spa Cafe attached had most excellent, healthy food: and was a great alternative to the heavier evening meals.

Cabin Review

6081: Mid Ship. Veranda, but directly above the Life Boats. Next time, I would book a higher floor, or make sure that you are on a part of the 6th floor that does not have life boats. The Life Boats are also used for ship to shore excursions that do not have a large port.Room was nice size, and bathroom more than just a closet. Bath had good shelf and storage spaces.
