We booked this cruise a year and a half ago. What fun planning. There were 4 of us, all retired, but active. We picked this cruise because of the itinerary and our past experiences with Celebrity.
The ship was originally to depart from Istanbul, but the bombings at the airport there resulted in Celebrity changing our departure port to Athens. I am glad I booked my air thru Choice Air, as they ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and enjoyed all of it. I was a solo female and loved having a cabin to myself. The food was good and my cabin was kept clean and tidy. I used room service several times after a day of long tours. I enjoyed getting up early and getting coffee and watching the sun rise. The ship was quiet and beautiful in the early morning.
The tours offered by ...
We thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise experience, overall being excellent and we had a fantastic 25th Wedding anniversary.
All the staff and crew were great and were always full of smiles and created a wonderful atmosphere and the ship was extremely well maintained and clean (even to my wife's ocd expectations on cleanliness and hygiene).
The staff in Blu were exceptional, in particular of ...
This was our first European Cruise and we loved it! All ports of call were beautiful and interesting. The Celebrity Equinox is a beautiful ship, great food, restaurants and amenities. Our cabin stewards Danisha & Sachin made us feel like we were their only customers. The staff in the Silhouette Dining room - Hazel, August, the wine steward and the maƮtre d were all excellent and added a lot of ...
I chose the cruise because of a deal that came across my computer, and then kept adding so who knows if it was a deal or not. LOL. Departing from Istanbul added to the mystique of the cruise, and we loved Istanbul, the city was beautiful and the people very friendly. Hotel Amira was THE BEST.
All our ports were better than the one before, it was truly hard to select a favorite.

This was my husbands first cruise and he was overwhelmed. Amazing cruise from beginning to end. Embarkation was very smooth, process completed in less than 15 mins.
Our cabin was on the hump, deck 9. It was in a fabulous locationwith a huge balcony. Didn't hear any noise once the door was closed.
We really enjoyed all the ports particularly Malta and the Amalfi Coast.

Recommended by travel agent.
From the go, with embarkation through to disembarkation, things went very smoothly and seemed well organised.
This was an excellent romantic cruise that really made us feel like "celebrities"
The food was brilliant and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great itinerary except for Kusadasi which I did not enjoy at all.
The ship itself is ...
Well, Celebrity did it again -
We were booked to Israel and unfortunately, due to security concerns, Celebrity needed to change the itinerary...well - they did so with panache. While we were still disappointed with the modification, we certainly could not blame Celebrity for global politics.
The overnight in Jerusalem was replaced with an overnight in Athens, and they replaced a few sea ...
My wife and I traveled on the Constellation in October of 2015 from Istanbul to Rome. Although our original itinerary had us spending three days in Israel, the violence there caused a diversion to several stops in Greece. Having not traveled to any of these ports, we were fine with the change and happy that we re-claimed 2 sea days along the way.
We had a Concierge Veranda Cabin on Deck 7. ...
After a brief visit to Turkey a few years back we wanted to go to Istanbul. The October Constellation trip was a good price performer in the off season. We even got the free tips package, which was also popular with the crew as these cannot be removed :)
The embarkation was smooth and trouble free. We took the Havatas Airport Bus (13TL) and stayed at The Point Hotel in Taksim Square which ...
