I chose Celebrity again because of the wonderful experience we had on the Celebrity Reflection, but the Constellation was a disappointment. The shower in our cabin backed up 3 times and the washroom smelled like sewer most of the time. It was fixed in a timely manner but just kept backing up a few days later. The toilet backed up once and a light was flickering in the cabin.

The food in the buffet was just OK nothing special. The food in the main dining room needs to be improved. We found it hard not to compare the food on this cruise with the Reflection whose food was fantastic.

Service in the main dining room was slow and the servers always appeared very rushed. By slow I mean that a dinner could take between 1.5-2 hours.

Port Reviews

Santorini

We had a good time wandering the little streets and doing some shopping by ourselves. Luckily we were the only cruise ship in dock so the line up for the cable car was very short. Keep an eye on the length of the line up for the cable car on the way down so you don't miss your return to ship time.

Mykonos

Mykonos is just beautiful. We explored it by ourselves and did some shopping. Very enjoyable.

Venice

The port of Venice is large. The walk from the ship to the terminal takes 30 min struggling with heavy suitcases and the way is not completely covered over so we got wet in the rain. There was a torrential downpour and even hail with very poor visibility. Celebrity could have arranged a shuttle bus to take the passengers leaving early with their suitcases to the terminal. The only shuttle buses they had were to take passengers to St Marks for the day and refused to take us with suitcases. I wouldn't have minded paying extra for this service.
