Sail Date: Aug 2013

This was our first cruise on the Celebrity Constellation, or any of Celebrities’ Millennium class. We have previously sailed on the Solstice and the Eclipse, and consequently found ourselves comparing the different ships. The Constellation is a smaller ship than the other two, and from time to time we noticed it, particularly in the public areas. However, Celebrity was our cruise line of choice before we started the cruise and our experience on the Constellation enhanced this opinion.

One of the things we have noticed on Celebrity cruises that while there is no shortage of opportunities to spend money, they don't push drinks on you like some cruise lines do. We found this to true on the Constellation.

The food and entertainment were up to the standard we expect from Celebrity. The average Celebrity guest is probably over 50, and this is reflected in the entertainment on board. There did not appear to be an extensive program for children, which was of no problem for us - but might be for some people.

Cabin Review

Our stateroom (8098) was a standard Concierge class stateroom, which are the same as the standard Veranda staterooms. The stateroom is slightly smaller than on the Solstice class ships, but not enough that we noticed it. The balcony is about 20% smaller. The arrangement of the closet and bathroom is such that you can’t open the bathroom door if someone is getting something in the closet. This was sometimes a minor inconvenience, but never a problem. The beds were comfortable, not remarkable.The stateroom is conveniently located to the aft staircase and two decks down from the Ocean View café. We found this convenient since we like to avoid the use of elevators while on board (an effort to offset the eating!). The location is our primary reason for paying the extra for Concierge class. One thing about our particular stateroom is that a painting scaffold is parked between this and the next-door stateroom (8100), resulting in a partially obstructed view. It is not listed on the Celebrity web-site as such.
