Arrived at the dock by taxi, embarkation was very quick and efficient and our cabin was ready for us at 12.30pm with our luggage arriving not long after. We even booked our speciality dining during embarkation as there were no queues, plus got the information on drinks packages etc. Greeted on board with a glass of sparkling wine, then left to our own devices to explore the ship.

Constellation is a lovely ship with impressive public areas, we particularly liked the covoured thalassotherapy area as the weather wasn't that hot but we could still enjoy the warm pool and jacuzzis and have a rest on the loungers. Towels were plentiful, even blankets were available should you want one. We had a couples Rasoul Ritual which was fantastic and was on special offer costing $110 for both of us which we considered good value.

Watched a Broadway themed show, a hypnotist, Natasha Hamilton, Perry Grant, A Capella band and enjoyed all of them though have to say we like to make our own entertainment in the evening by enjoying leisurely dinners with our table companions, then meeting more people in the various bars and casino. We found this a very friendly cruise and met lots of nice people. Read more
