Never having cruised before, I chose this cruise for the itinerary and the positive reviews of Celebrity that I had read. On the whole I enjoyed it but there were some negative points too. Below is a summary of our views:
GOOD:
-Staff on the whole worked very hard and were friendly and courteous. Our cabin attendant, Barbara was delightful and couldn't do enough for us. Alex (Concierge ...
We had a hectic drive from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale, traffic held up by 2 different accidents on I-75. Were so relieved to find our ship still docked (lol) it was only 2:30.
As Aqua Class and Diamond members we are given priority check in, which we appreciate. That was lost after we received our room card and had to join a long line to have a picture taken for the card. Normally that is ...
The Celebrity Constellation was a wonderful ship to visit on our first cruise to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. My husband did the research and planning, and his homework was fruitful, because we experienced a celestial voyage. The "spot-on" attention to so many details made up for any minor inconveniences.
Our boat was not too big, but it still offered many of the luxuries and ...
5 day cruise to Cozemel and Key West on the Celebrity Constellation on March 14. Embarkation was relatively quick. Only delay was after checking in, had to get in second line to have picture taken for ship card. Why this could not be done all at once at check in as most do slowed the process. Had an Aqua Class cabin on Deck 9. Cabin was well organized, very clean and well maintained. Jaime, the ...
This was our second time on a Celebrity ship and about our 12th cruise overall. I want to write this review especially for those people who feel anxious when they read several poor reviews about a ship and about someone's experience on their cruise. Remember, it's all in your attitude. If you go with the knowledge that not everything will be perfect but that you are on vacation and will make ...
Nice short last minute get away. We had a standard Verandah cabin 9016. The room was nice and clean. Had a small pull out couch and I believe a drop down bed. The verandah had a tapered overhang from the above floor (spa area). The overhang did not allow a lot of direct sunshine, but it did give pretty good privacy and cover from the rain.
There is only one outdoor pool area, but plenty ...
This was our first time cruising with Celebrity. We have cruised on Disney twice before and Holland once. We had an Aqua Class cabin - 1133 (large veranda). The view from the room was great, but the boat rocked quite a bit. My only compliant was the veranda door would not stay open or shut when you were outside - it banged back and forth due to boat rocking. Room was noisy at night - I ...
We flew in 2 days early to enjoy Fort Lauderdale. Stayed at the Hilton Marina and was convenient for water taxi's and our annual trip to Coconuts for dinner! The morning of our cruise we had a flash storm at 7am that we got to watch sweep across the intercoastal waterway from our 8th floor balcony. The power was shut down at the port so previous cruisers were late in leaving. After about a 15 ...
This review will be as quick as this two day cruise.
Embarkation :
Arrived at port around 13:00 (1pm) onboard by 13:25 (1:25pm). Hardly anyone but kinda weird system after check in have to go to a different line for photo I.D picture. I could see this being a mess when lots of people.
Ship :
As soon as you enter the vessel you are greeted with a Champagne or Mimosa glass. That's a nice ...
This was our third Celebrity cruise, 2nd time on the Constellation and our 11th cruise overall. She was our first cruise in 2003. My husband and I are in our late 30's and took our two sons 4 and 6 along with my parents in there early 70's. We mainly chose this itinerary because it worked well with my older son's school schedule and we had been wanting to return to Celebrity for some time. We had ...
