We have been cruising with Royal Caribbean and Hurtigruten in addition to Celebrity. Celebrity is still our favorite. The Constellation is one of the older and smaller ships in the fleet, but is a great ship to cruise with.
We flew in to Venice a few days Ahead and stayed at Hotel Continental in the center of town until departure. The hotel was OK, but I felt it was a bit of a fire hazard, with all the corridors and staircases.
On this cruise we were overnight in the departure port, Venice, and in Dubrovnik. In Venice I personally did not need that. Seeing Venice is possible by arriving a day early. In Dubrovnik it was Nice, enabling us to see more of this quaint city.
Very large balcony, good sized cabin, clean organized and Nice.
A great city to roam around, the old parts are walking or boating only. A must see.
Do the walk on the wall and through the old town. By all means please get up early and watch as the ship sails through the "Fjord" in to the town.
A great Place to og to the Beach for a swim.
Be around to see the inlet to Valette, and by all means walk through the town. This Place has atmosphere.
