1-10 of 36 Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews for Family Cruises to the Middle East from Abu Dhabi
Loved the variety of ports offered on this cruise. Abu Dhabi to Abu Dhabi, including Dubai and Mumbai and Goa.all different and exciting in their own way. The New Year overnight tour in Dubai was fabulous, from Jeep riding over the dunes, camel ride to a Bedouin camp and dinner the Bedouin way. The tents were extremely comfortable.
Sunset on the dunes and sunrise at the camp were ...
Celebrity Constellation 9 night Arabian cruise
Embarkation was a breeze-just 10 mins. Then we were welcomed onboard with champagne on a red carpet. We felt we were treated like royalty!.
Our oceanview room was quiet, comfy & spacious, but the bath cubicle was miniscule.
On the first day, they had liquer sampling the entire evening, right from 5pm to 9pm. You could sample all liquers on ...
Prior to the embarking the cruise we arrived in Abu Dhabi a few days in advance to beat jet lag (long flight from Canada). We stayed at the Southern Sun Abu Dhabi, and loved it. Great hotel for a reasonable price in a good location. We were also quite surprised at how much we loved Abu Dhabi in general, and in particular how green it is (I guess that's what happens when you use 250 MILLION ...
As most Constellation cruisers knew, the Ship was heading to Barcelona for refit and refurbishment (Solsticizing) in May, 2017.
That being said there was no evidence of significant crew painting since in just a few months it would probably have a needed major sandblasting and rust removal.
This did not affect the itinerary and all ports of call that we visited were unique.
India was truly ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to see more of India, having covered the Golden Triangle a couple of years ago. The destinations were amazing, each in their own way. We particularly enjoyed the 3 days we spent in Singapore.
The ship is very well appointed and exceptionally clean. The entertainment was very good, in particular Joe and Liv who are an excellent acoustic duo. The excursions ...
We chose this cruise , because it was a different type of Holiday,. We have never been to the countries that we visited , and were looking forward to the 5 star event.
The ship was not 5 star ,and was badly in need of refurbishment. This coloured our first day of the trip. We had just left an excellent Hotel The Al Raha beach in Abu Dhabi and felt let down when we boarded the ship. We were not ...
We have cruised a number of times before with Celebrity but this was our first cruise on the Constellation. Although it is an older ship it seemed in decent condition. The only problem we had was a non flushing toilet which was soon repaired.
Our cabin 7114 was a balcony. We found the cabin to be clean and comfortable. Our cabin attendant was excellent.
We had Select dining which seemed to ...
We chose this cruise because I wanted to go to India and my husband did not. With this cruise I got to see some of India, but he got to eat and sleep on the ship. Many of the ports were very similar with nothing outstanding to see.
The one excursion we took through the ship was in Phuket - Phang Nga Bay. The day was rainy. I thought if the weather was too bad Celebrity would cancel the ...
We went with our son and daughterinlaw who have been on 5 other Celebrity cruises and this was our second one
My wife had an aacident 2 days before we were due to sail, which ment she was in a wheel chair on the cruise.
This was not a problem any on off the ship, All staff went out off their way to assist, without having to ask. When we were either getting on of the ship, staff always ...
We did this cruise simply to get out of the UK weather and enjoy the quality of Celebrity's accommodation and food. The intinary is not very good if you are looking to simply get off the ship and tour the local promonard etc. Due to the flight times and arriving in Dubai then transferring to Abbi Dhabi we were simply to tired to see anything of Abbi Dhabi and that was one of the better stops. ...
