Celebrity Constellation Review
Disappointed with Constellation and their Aqua Class

Additional details
For a background, we are cruisers with over a dozen trips on Celebrity, NCL, Holland and Carnival, but mostly Celebrity.
We booked this trip primarily for the itinerary since it was stopping at St. Barts, St. Croix and Labadee which we had not yet been to. Having had good experiences in the past, we chose the Aqua class cabins due to the nice touches in the cabin and the Blu restaurant. The Constellation is a 2002 ship that has recently been "Solsticized" with mixed results in my opinion. The changes are beautiful and some of the features from the Solstice class ships work nicely, others not so much.
We arrived at the port around noon and were quickly processed and on the ship, all in all very efficient. Once on the ship, the cabins were not ready and were sealed off. In the past we have been able to drop off our bags before they finished the room, but not this time. We proceeded to the buffet for lunch and to wait until our room was available.
Cabin Review
Aqua Class Balcony
Balcony cabin on mid forward starboard side of the ship.Room was nicely furnished however, the bathroom seemed smaller than usual. Also, when we first arrived in the cabin we found that the bed was made but the sheets were dirty. The cabin steward blamed it on the laundry, however, he should have noticed it before putting it on the bed.
