Celebrity Constellation 14 Night Scandinavia and Russia Cruise Sailing June 3, 2006 from Dover, England
We recently returned from two great weeks in the Baltic onboard Celebrity Constellation. We had a very good time and really enjoyed seeing a new part of the world. We traveled as a group of four with my wife and me being joined by my sister and her husband. Much of the planning for the trip was hugely assisted by the resources of Cruise Critic. I spent hours and hours reading discussion boards and reviews and picked up an amazing number of tips that really enhanced the experience.
The trip started for us with a flight from Atlanta to London on the Tuesday before Constellation's Saturday sailing. Arriving Wednesday morning, we found our way through Gatwick to the Gatwick Express train I had been told to use (www.gatwickexpress.co.uk). This was a bit of a challenge as the Gatwick Express station was in a different terminal and the signage was rather lacking in quantity and quality. Mental note: next time spring for the luggage cart instead of dragging those 50-pound suitcases piled on top of each other.
