Celebrity Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

The Constellation ("Connie") is one of the older and smaller ships in the Celebrity fleet and while our group much prefers a smaller size ship experience to the large Apex monsters, the Millennium class ships (we did the Infinity last year) are just really showing their age. Worn furnishings and carpeting in the cabins, outdated TV's, showers, rusting hull and balconies just don't live up to our ...

1. The ship overall was fine. It needs refurbishment and it is going on dry dock for a couple of weeks in Italy in February. They know it needs attention. Our suite in particular was not worth the extra money except for the larger balcony. The vents in the bathroom were full of fuzz, the furniture was somewhat damaged, in general not a positive experience and particularly not worth the ...

Given some of the negativity about Connie I was somewhat apprehensive. I am not sure what some folks expect but I have to say this is a wonderful ship with terrific staff. The food was excellent and whilst the staterooms are due an upgrade there was certainly nothing wrong with our Aqua Veranda cabin. The public areas are immaculate and there is always plenty of space to sit down and relax. ...

This ship is definitely for the older generation - 45+. NOT a ship for kids. I think there were only 6 kids on our cruise, so warning...if you want the kids to have fun, not a good idea to select this ship. The destinations are not for kids/teens either. It is an older ship, but upgraded with nice decor and is very well maintained. ALL employees were extremely great! When you cruise please ...

Concierge at michael's club was awesome. The food and service at Luminae were off the charts. The Panama canal transit tour was great. Cartagena was a beautiful place and loved it. Porto Limone is a dump and waste of a day. Usually like Cozumel but with 7 ships in port it was like times square. Crew were great, very little wait for drinks etc. The only waiting time was for a burger at the pool ...

We chose this cruise for the destinations, previous experience with Celebrity, the embarkation port. This was our fourth cruise with Celebrity and we have two more that were booked before this cruise. We were disappointed with Celebrity but the Tampa Port was very efficient for us and the key destinations were as good or better than expected. Celebrity staff continue to provide a great cruise ...

We chose this cruise because of it's overnight stop in Cartagena Columbia, it was one place we had not been to. The stops were, Leaving Tampa, FL, Key West, FL, Cartagena Columbia/Overnight, Colon, Panama, Limon, Costa Rica, and Cozumel. We were the only vessel in Key West, so we were at Mallory square. The busiest port was Cozumel, their were 3 vessels at our dock near Margaritaville, and ...

The title of this review should say it all!!!! 11 Day Cruise from Tampa to the America's on March 6th-17th/2023. On Celebrity Constellation.....................not great for sure! Go to the CDC site for the American government and you will see that Celebrity Sister's ship that docked on March 18th/2023 also, had GI issues and Covid. Most people probably did not report to the staff that they ...

I doubt that we will ever sail in this category again. We booked while ships were sailing half empty and got a big discount thru the casino. Our go to suite ( when available) has been the Celebrity suite especially on the hump( big balcony). Somehow I thought A Royal suite would be more special. You had the tiniest balcony with two of the most uncomfortable chairs ( no lounge). And considering ...

At her launch in 2002 Celebrity Constellation held 1,900 passengers. We left Tampa on March 6th with 2172 passengers. As you can imagine that means space is at a premium in elevators, poolside, in restaurants and just about everything else. To make things even a bit worse it is woefully undermanned. On our first night out Main Dining had major backups in the kitchen. No longer do we have ...
