1-10 of 108 Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews for Senior to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
The Constellation would be great for first time cruisers but repeat guests will notice the changes, cutbacks, price hikes and doubling of the cost of cruises.
All effort now appears to be directed to the new Edge class ships which are fabulous but the rest of the fleet are being left behind.
We cruised on the Constellation in January and again in September/ October 2023 but have cancelled ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
When we originally booked this cruise the flight details "would be advised later" but Celebrity clearly stated "we will find the best flight for your cruise itinerary". That flight turned out to be a budget airline that required a check in at 3.30AM!
It meant leaving home at 1.30AM.
So an entirely sleepless night and this is supposed to be a relaxed cruise?
Lesson number 1, never ...
We have sailed with Celebrity a number of times and chose this cruise due to the itinerary. The ports were wonderful, however ship experience was not what we have come to expect from Celebrity. There was very poor communication regarding the ports ( when available maps were unreadable or useless, no talks about the port, tenders poorly organized - weather was bad for 2 but very little ...
This was our second Celebrity cruise and the first on one of the smaller ships, the biggest disappointment for us was the food and slow service in bar areas. The issue with the food was limited menu choices compared to previous trip on Silhouette, cold food in buffet and several stations in the buffet area were just not used on many occasions. Obviously the slow service in bar areas is a ...
I had a pretty poor X experience a few years ago on the Eclipse, the captain having to write to each cabin to apologise type of experience. I wanted though to travel the Suez Canal though and so it seemed a good time to give the X another try. it started badly though when their greeters in Rome said I wasn't on their list and went on from there. The room had used toothpicks and peoples pills in ...
We sailed on Constellation's voyage from Venice to Rome. We had a great itinerary. Embarkation in Venice was extremely smooth and we were in our stateroom less than one-half hour after getting to the pier. Celebrity staff were mostly friendly and helpful. Food in the main dining room was very good but mediocre in the buffet. Food there was often lukewarm and would become cold by the time you got ...
First time in a Millennium class ship, not overtly impressed. Needed a refurb and the layout of some areas like the buffet, elevators, main parlor were small and odd. I'll definitely make sure I'm on a solstice or edge class next. I enjoyed Blue as we usually do concierge class. The wine selection by the glass even for premium is seriously lacking...the wines were poor and cheap. I missed ...
