We visited Istanbul independently prior to the cruise and spent 3 wonderful days site seeing. we boarded the ship on the 20/9 and the process was quick from getting on board to the cabin being ready and our luggage arriving , we were in aqua class deck 11 The cabin was spacious and clean but I was disappointed with the size of the bathroom/shower probably the smallest we have ever had and we have ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 80s

This was the twentieth cruise, eight with Celebrity, the second on Constellation and, because of advancing age and declining health, possibly the final sailaway. The decision, for what might be the last time in a lifetime, was to take a relaxed approach to travelling. After four and a half hours from the house to Gatwick by train. We had requested assistance at our local station which we ...

We just returned from the Sept. 20th 2014 cruise thru/around the Black Sea and what a disappointment.! We sailed about 18 months ago on the Solstice from Dubai to Singapore and expected a similar experience on the Solsticized Constellation. Lets begin.... Celebrity after much delay finally amended the ports due to the crisis in the Ukraine. They hyped the new ports as if we were going to the ...

Hi, I will write this review in my best English but it is not my mother language so I am sure I will make mistakes, I hope this won't bother the readers too much. We are from the Netherlands and we are 58 and 51 years old. This was our second cruise on Celebrity Constellation. Last year we had a Transatlantic from Miami to Amsterdam. We then found out that the ship is quite small, there was not ...

We sailed on the Constellation in November on their Greek Islands cruise., not our happiest. Travelling to istanbul was as usual for us easy as not that long a flight from U.K. and train and tram from Attaturk airport is so so simple. we got of the tram just a couple minutes from where the Constellation was docked. Embarcation was wonderful as by six p.m. no crowds just a few late comers like us, ...

This was our 28 cruise and our first Celebrity experience. I must say that this will be our last Celebrity experience too. We began our trip of a lifetime with four full days in Istanbul enjoyed a pre-arranged private tour experience that was outstanding, staying at the Pera Palace which I strongly recommend. The hotel's history, being the hotel for the guests traveling on the original Orient ...

A friend and I took the Holy Land Cruise on the Celebrity Constellation that boarded in Istanbul on November 6, 2011 and disembarked in Barcelona on November 20, 2011. Generally speaking, we found the condition of the ship and our cabin to be quite acceptable. We also met a host of interesting people, had many good times and made several new friends. Further, we found the destinations visited ...

My wife and I have sailed with Celebrity 15 or 20 times. In fact,for good quality at a reasonable cost, they have been our favorate.That was until a few weeks ago. At that time, we sailed on the Constellation from Istanbul, Turkey. Check-in at the pier was as poorly conducted as we have ever encountered. (leaving the ship, last day, was fine) First, the good news.The ship itself is new and ...

I have been on cruises with three other cruise lines, and this was my first cruise with Celebrity. I was not disappointed by the ship and the cruise, but I was not really impressed either. We had an Oceanview cabin. I liked the large window. I did not like that there was a connecting door to the next cabin, and we could hear every little noise our neighbor made. We were pretty underwhelmed by the ...
