Celebrity Constellation Review

Additional details
My partner and I took this 4-night cruise Jan 2nd with a family group that included 4 other cabins. Everyone had a wonderful time and thought that the ship and the crew were great.
Pre-Cruise – we stayed at the Marriott Harbor Beach. Beautiful hotel and the views from the poolside rooms are stunning. It’s great to walk out on your balcony on the day you sail and see the ship waiting in the harbor.
Embarkation – we boarded from Terminal 4 at Port Everglades. This terminal is like a warehouse and isn’t nearly as nice as the terminals in Miami. The staff was very welcoming and efficient but the process took longer than normal. We were through and on the boat in 30 minutes. Not great but not terrible either.
Cabin Review
Cabins – We booked 4 verandah cabins and 1 inside cabin all on deck 7. The verandah cabins were 7169 – 7175 and 3 were “hump” cabins with larger balconies. They were awesome! We’ve gone Concierge Class several times in the past but had never done a regular balcony room on a Millennium-class ship. For this cruise, the price difference didn’t seem worth it. The regular verandah cabin is smaller but it’s fine. The larger balconies on these “hump” cabins were great and I’d try to book them over a concierge class again in the future. The cabins were clean and in good shape. There’s tons of storage and the beds were very comfortable. (Definitely new since our last cruise on the Contellation) Cabin steward was friendly but not intrusive. No, we didn’t have ice service and found the ice bucket under the counter on the last day. But we didn’t care; we had what we needed. The only comment I’d make is that consistency is an issue. Two of the cabins had robes; three didn’t. One of the cabins got the free mesh bag; four didn’t. I asked for the bags (they make great beach bags or shopping bags) and got them. The robe wasn’t a big deal. I wasn’t expecting it since we weren’t in Concierge Class. But it’s annoying when one person in the party is raving about the robe and the others are scratching their heads thinking they’ve been cheated. Very minor but the attention to the details just isn’t there when the cabin stewards are stretched as thin as they are.
