Sail Date: Dec 2016

Etihad flights booked with Celebrity were a bit hit & miss - not guaranteed to sit with your partner/family because of block booking.

The early-arrival check-in at a hotel (with breakfast) was a nice idea, but only half a dozen staff were sent by Celebrity to check-in 200+ tired guests after their overnight flights. Embarkation otherwise fine - Abu Dhabi terminal pleasant and modern.

First impressions of Constellation: tatty carpets, and threadbare deck towels which had presumably once been 'Celebrity blue' but had faded to 'grey with bits hanging off'. Would it really cost that much to renew these every year or so?

Cabin Review

Cabin Ocean View

In a good position not far from the lifts, but near the end of a corridor (so not many people going past), until 10am ish when the crew doors start slamming (fair enough I suppose).

Bed wasn't great. Very firm (normally OK with that) and very obvious join between the pushed-together singles (no topper covering it). Pillows were pretty rubbish.

Space in the wardrobes was stingy, although plenty of drawers and a small dresser and mirror.

Small sofa(bed) was just used as extra storage. Window was good and bright, but we missed the fresh air of a balcony this time.

Bathroom was small but actually had a decent sized shower. The best feature though was the night-light, which was just bright enough to read your Kindle by if you couldn't get back to sleep in the middle of the night!

TV was in a good position, but just had the usual selection of news and sport/info channels, plus a couple of scheduled movie channels. On-demand movies were $14.95 a time. More nickel-and-diming.

Turning up the aircon (cooler) sounded like a bus was idling in the bathroom.

Cabin steward was nice, friendly and efficient.
