10 day cruise out of Tampa. Left a day early, stayed @ Ramada Wyndham (free shuttle from airport) For this cruise we choose Concierge class balcony, & Premium Beverage package. Embarkation was the smoothest we ever experienced, they had plenty of staff guidance. We had downloaded the Celebrity App beforehand, and completed the check-in process ( including uploading proof of vaccination & a ...
I say the best cruise ever since I have been on 50+ cruises both with my hubby (who has gone on his permanent cruise) and alone. This ship and staff and crew were so exceptional that I had to write this review to acknowledge every person that I had interacted with and the passengers as well. Even though this ship is an "oldie" (and so am I) she still had much to offer.
The food on the buffet ...
You get spoiled real fast as there are 800+ crew on board. It started when my cabin was changed at gate from deck 7 to deck 9. I didn't like new cabin so I went to service desk once on ship and asked for another cabin. There were at least 50 same day cancellations so knowing where rooms were I asked for and received aft corner family suite keeping my C1 status. Very nice! It got better from there ...
As veteran cruisers (45), this was an exceptional experience - not to be forgotten. The upbeat & energetic staff took the "extra mile" servicing all passenger needs & concerns. GREAT STAFF!
This 20 year old vessel, whilst in good condition, is in need of refurbishment. (a) Notwithstanding replacement of normal infrastructure wear & tear. adequate electrical and electronic interfacing is ...
This was my 48th cruise, my husband's 46th. It was our 18th Celebrity. We've cruised on eight different ocean cruise lines (two are defunct) and three different river cruise lines. The first Celebrity we took was a 14-day on the Baltic on this same ship, the Connie, in 2008. Until we cruised on Crystal in 2015, Celebrity was our favorite line. Now it's our second favorite, behind Crystal. We feel ...
My wife and I are frequent Celebrity cruisers (14 cruises), but we had never taken a cruise less than 7 days. We were looking for something to do over Easter weekend and decided to do a short cruise and try Celebrities new Suite experience. While we have booked suites in the past this was our first with the new program. The suite only dining room ( Luminae) was intimate with outstanding food and ...
We sailed out of Ft Lauderdale and our embarkment was flawless. We were given access to our Aqua Class room early. The ship's crew were all friendly and accommodating.
We upgraded to Aqua Class and thoroughly enjoyed the spay experience. It was worth every penny of the upgrade. The Blu restaurant is an added bonus . Anthony (from India) was our waiter each evening. His level of professionalism ...
We were a party of 6 that has often cruised together. We all had the Classic Beverage Package.
Embarkation
We had stayed at the Crowne Plaza on Rte. 84. We all took a shuttle to the ship. This was easy since we were the only ship sailing out of Port Everglades that day. A storm knocked out the power to the terminal, which was terminal 4. This terminal in the past was used by a ...
We loved our experience aboard the Constellation. Superior service is something we have come to expect on Celebrity ships, however this crew exceeded our high expectations. Embarkation was a bit chaotic, however it was no fault of the cruise line. Ft. Lauderdale experienced severe weather (tornadoes and high winds) on the morning of our departure, and when we arrived at the terminal there was ...
This was the second cruise my husband and I have taken with Celebrity and it was just as wonderful as the first one many years ago on the sister ship Summit. The mattresses are just perfect and the sheets and pillows are luxurious. Once again at dinner I would find myself thinking about the pleasure of crawling into bed later in the evening. We had Stateroom 6000 on the Penthouse deck . ...
