This was our third Celebrity cruise, 2nd time on the Constellation and our 11th cruise overall. She was our first cruise in 2003. My husband and I are in our late 30's and took our two sons 4 and 6 along with my parents in there early 70's. We mainly chose this itinerary because it worked well with my older son's school schedule and we had been wanting to return to Celebrity for some time. We had been cruising Princess and Royal Caribbean the past few years.

Embarkation was fine. We left on a Monday and I'm sure that helped. We took a taxi from our hotel and arrived just after 11 AM. No lines, everything well organized, and were on the boat by 11:30 AM.

We had two interior Aft cabins on deck 8. We got interconnecting because of the kids. This worked out great. I highly recommend this. The kids get their own room and bathroom but you are connected with them and can easily keep an eye on them. If need be you can close the door. Once the steward unlocks it, only he can lock it again.
