Constellation – November 24-29 - Outstanding Cruise - Wish We Were Staying on Longer
That is something I say after every cruise, but this one was really too short particularly since the crew and ship were superb. We knew it was going to be short five days with stops in Cozumel and Key West and two fun sea days, but were envious of those doing a back-to-back.
Captain Tasos Kafetzis has been onboard for almost a month and you could feel his warmth and energy extending to all crewmembers with whom we interacted. The master was visible and approachable in various locations around the ship and seemed to enjoy interacting with the guests. He gave an outstanding presentation on the building of the first two Solstice class ships and his announcements were always tinged with humor.
We were fortunate to be in one of the new aft-facing AQ rooms - 1130. As reported it is in an excellent location overlooking the stern with no noise heard from below unless you were on the large balcony. Although we prefer the Solstice class ships for all their activities, we thoroughly enjoyed the smaller Blu venue on this class ship. If you eat breakfast in Blu, don't miss Mentor's muesli artistry.
