Additional details
We sailed Connie 11/24/14 on her 5 night Western Caribbean cruise to Cozumel and Key West. This was our 5th Celebrity cruise (Infinity, Solstice, Eclipse, Reflection) and had an awesome time. Having read most of the member reviews, I was a bit worried, but thankfully all was in order.
Embarkation was slightly delayed by a USCG inspection, but from curb to cabin was 15 minutes.
We booked an ocean view cabin (normally go Aqua) due to the extreme value. Spent the savings on dinners in the specialty restaurants, which were terrific. Olga in Ocean Liners prepared amazing table side Dover Sole, Chateau, and Lobster, and all were divine. The Veal Chop in Tuscan was one of the best we've had. The classic drink package (promo) was fine, not really worth the up charge for the premium. Bar service was great. Cabin service was spot on. The highlight of the staff is Captain Tassos...he is one-of-a-kind, just fantastic. Don't miss his presentation and appearances. The shows were typical Celebrity. Connie does not show here age at all. We prefer the extra room on the Solstice ships as well as the additional dining options, but that would not stop us from sailing her again.
Cabin Review
Ocean View 8
Clean, fresh, plenty of storage, and close to forward elevators. It is directly across from a crew access area, but the only time we ever heard any noise was on the last night when luggage was being transferred. Since it was a 5 night cruise, most folks carried their luggage off. Ac was cold, bed comfortable, plenty of hot water in the shower, and most importantly...spotless and fresh smelling. Stateroom Attendant Arthur and his assistant Igor were terrific...great job guys! See ya next time...
