We sailed the Constellation out of Venice
Oops Ravenna
3 hour bus ride from Venice was comfortable however not convenient. We knew this up front.
Transportation from Venice was very unorganized making passengers stand in the rain for 90 min because busses were late and unorganized.
Check in was perfect once we arrived at the port
Great process

Overall the cruise was a solid 7/10. Not at par with some other cruises I have been on but it was ok overall. Not sure if this is reflective of the 'Celebrity experience' as this was our only cruise ever with them. I didn't see a great difference.
The main dining room experience was average from a food quality experience. Not as good as prior cruises on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. ...
My son is turning 50 and my granddaughter is turning 18. We wanted to do something really special and booked this 9 day cruise out of Athens. We were 6 all together and even though the Connie is old, it had the perfect itinerary that included Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Ephesus, Kotor and supposedly ended in Venice ( at time of booking). I book through the Casino and they gave me a concierge ...
Just returned from this 10 day of Italy, Turkey and Greek Islands. Celebrity is very service oriented and this cruise did not disappoint. Staff were fantastic. We choose the Aqua Class and enjoyed the Blu restaurant for 9 of our evenings. Staff ate the best. Deni, Yuken, Chad, Marly are the absolute best. Appreciated the cleanliness of ship. Only downside is the age and wear of ship. Rooms are in ...
The itinerary for this Italian adventure was just what we were looking for, as an Autumn break away, and our cruise on the Constellation didn't disappoint.
From embarkation, to leaving the ship in Rome, we enjoyed every minute.
The ship itself is an older vessel, no secret there, but she's beautiful, with a friendly attentive crew under the watchful eye of Captain Vito.

We chose this cruise/ line based on the itinerary. We booked Aqua Class but didn’t really use anything but Blu. We ate in here every night and were able to choose the Blu menu or Main Dining Room menu. We enjoyed the smaller, quieter space. Food was good, but not sure it was any better than the NCL cruises we’ve been on in the past. The crew was phenomenal- super patient and friendly. I observed ...
I always wanted to visit Greece and this cruise was the perfect answer. As usual the crew and staff of Celebrity were excellent. Entertainment was top notch.
My issues are: three hour bus ride from Venice to Ravenna after a 10 hour flight. Tiring first day to say the least. Boarding process at Ravenna went smooth.
Excursions: virtually all the excursions started at 7am!! And all required a ...
We have sailed Celebrity for many years and the main reason we are loyal to Celebrity is Service, attentive staff, courteous, ship is well maintained and visibility of Senior Officers and I love how all staff members greet you.
This cruise was good, but I noticed some of why I am loyal to Celebrity was not to the standard I am used to.
The staff in Blu was very nice, but they seemed to be ...
For the Suez Canal passage and other tour stops. The price was a great value as well.
The tours really varied, it was either a great experience with the tour guide or not. The guides for the Celebrity arranged tours in Athens and Petra were great. In Abu Dhabi, the guide was so scattered going through the mosque, the group basically took matters into our own hands to make the most of the ...
We (wife and I, and another couple – call us “late 50’s”) chose this cruise as we wanted to experience a European cruise after doing several Caribbean cruises. This was our 3rd cruise on Celebrity. The Venice-Rome, and Dalmatian Coast was highly appealing to us as we have read so much about these areas. Port stops were Rijeka, Split, and Dubrovnik (Croatia); Kotor, Montenegro; Valleta, Malta; ...
