In 18 years of cruising this was the worst cabin location we have ever encountered. Aqua cabins are located immediately below the Sauna/Solarium which entails being woken at 7 am each morning by furniture, etc being dragged across the deck above. In addition the balconies on these cabins are entirely devoid of direct sunshine due to the very ugly and huge overhang of the deck above.
We have ...
We have sailed with Celebrity before and had high expectations. The ship looked good on 1st impression.
Plus:
Attentive and hardworking despite so few.
Smart clean lounges
Good sized balcony
Goods customer service staff.
Pleasant coffee lounge with cakes
Easy embarkation
Minus:
Old accessible mini-van with very poor suspension collected us from airport to Ravenna. ...
I picked this cruise for the ports of call - I have no loyalty to any one cruise line. Ports, Price, and then Ship are how I decided on any cruise. After reading some of the reviews, I was concerned about the wear and tear of the facilities and thought the food would be awful. While the ship is old and the room is beyond old, the room was clean, the common areas were also clean, and many public ...
A fun trip around Italy, missed a stop because of a storm but oh well, money for tour was refunded immediately.
Enjoyed the stops especially, Montenegro. The walk-through tour of old town and the farm was fun. We got a lot of ideas for our daughter that bought a small farm recently.
Ship is a nice size for this trip, easy to get off and on even on the tender stop.
cabin a assessable sky ...
A drawback on this cruise was the high temperature in Italy. But I don´t blame Celebrity. Our experience is 12 weeks, 8 ships from 5 different companies. First time without balcony. I think this was the oldest ship we have been on. But we are much older, so we felt at home. Free parking in Ravenna, and smooth embarkation. What surprised us most was the amount of staff, everywhere. In level with ...
We chose Celebrity only because we could do two back to back cruises 7th August and 17th August 2023 (18 nights total) which covered places in Greece and Italy which we wanted to revisit. We knew nothing about their ships until now, as our past 12 cruises were mainly with P &O, Princess, and Cunard, including five half world cruises, and a few smaller ships like Paul Gaugin and Ponant, plus river ...
This was our 3rd cruise on the Constellation, so we did have some reference points and something to compare it with. To our great regret, it was getting worse every time we sailed the Connie, and it has come to a point where we are seriously evaluating our further relationship with Celebrity. In fact, at the prices they want nowadays, the value is just not there…
As a point of reference, we ...
Went on a 9 day cruise from Athens to Venice with stops in the Greek Islands, Turkiye, Croatia and Italy
Loved most of the stops.
The staff and Crew of the Constellation are wonderful.
The ship on the other hand was a big disappointment
Food was the same every day in the main dining room, The buffet was the same every day
No variety at all. Also, cruising on this ship they try to ...
Chose this cruise for its itinerary and wanted to experience a Celebrity cruise, that while not considered a “luxury line”, is *supposed* to be a higher level/tier cruise line than target market competitors.
IT IS NOT!
Celebrity established itself as the poorest/worst cruise line I’ve experienced well before I even boarded the ship! I spent well over two hours on the phone with at least ...
We just disembarked from our Mediterranean cruise today. Having previously done a Mediterranean cruise on Princess, I am using that as my bar when comparing to Celebrity. Would I take a Princess Cruise again? Absolutely yes. Will I ever book with Celebrity again? A strong no. I liked the ship itself, but the service was overall quite bad. I’m an easy going, reasonable person and do not expect to ...
