We chose this cruise as our first cruise because of the destinations and the excellent reputation of celebrity. We were not disappointed in any way. Embarkation was easy to follow without any delays with good explanations and directions from all staff. All areas of the ship, Celebrity Constellation, were very clean, well maintained and modern. The entertainment was varied and of a high standard with the cast members and resident band surprisingly good. Although the cabin would benefit from refurbishment. It was clean and comfortable and we were very well looked after by our steward Lourdes. We ate every night in the main San Marco restaurant with the food, service and impromptu entertainment provided by Jermaine our waiter, made every evening a pleasure. The food was varied and to a high standard and therefore we didn't feel the need to try one of the specialty restaurants. A special mention to staff and crew who were all very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Because of our overall experience we have already booked our second cruise with Celebrity.
