We were a family of 6 adults. This was my second celebrity cruise. We were in Aqua class. Disappointed in the cruise. The Suez Canal narrator did not have adequate microphone so he ended up speaking to people as they came up to him. Not at all like Panama Canal crossing on NCL. We used Aqua class and main dinning room menu- which was nice to have access to. Not as boring as repeats. The ...
We did noy stay in Rome before departure as we have visited a couple of times before in depth,so we went straight from the airport to the shipwe did not have a great start here as we were told in baggage reclaim to look out on the left hand side when exciting missed them they were behind a great big pillar we walked around the arrivals and went back to our starting point luckily for us we spotted ...
Firstly, a bit of background, this was our first cruise with Celebrity having 25 plus previous cruises mainly with the Carnival group of brands. The last ten years apart from one with P&0 and one with Fred Olsen all being with Princess Cruises.
Last New Year we tried P&0 after a gap of 9 years - just to see if all the so many poor reviews could be accurate. For us they were true and could only ...
I cant believe I was on the same cruise as some previous reviews, from start to finish I cannot find anything to complain about, previously I have been on 15, P&O cruises, also RCCL and Costa, this is the first on Celebrity but definitely not the last! We booked everything through Celebrity, outbound flights Heathrow to Abu Dhabi, 2 night pre cruise stay in Abu Dhabi with private transfers, ...
Boarded the Celebrity Constellation in Abu Dhabi for 16 day cruise to Rome via Suez Canal.
The ship is a nice size and as mentioned by other contributor’s a little tired. The ships staff were first class and with the weather hot and sunny made for an excellent cruise.
Dining in the San Marco restaurant was good with excellent service. Cannot comment on evening shows as we did not attend. The ...
To visit Petra in Jordan,The Celebrity Constellation is definately not 5Star ,Modern ,orLuxury as Advertised.the ship is tired throughout .Dining in the San Marco restaurant was slow and dark due to a number of broken and missing lamps,every course ordered took around thirty minutes to arrive,when on the 8.30 sitting most nights it was not unusual to leave after 11.00pm. What is described as a ...
We were searching for a place to visit in the Middle East and found this cruise. We booked the cruise about two months before sailing and there were only inside cabins available.
We boarded the ship in Abu Dhabi. The embarkation was very fast and our cabin was ready when we board the ship.
Disembarkation in Rome was very fast and all our luggage was in one place.
There are no washing ...
We have been cruising over 10 years, had took many segments of world cruises. The reason we chose this cruise was Suez Canal and Petra. We took the ship's shore excursion to Petra - great disappointment. The tour guide was very green in the area - not well organized, lacking experience to lead - worst of all it hard to hear from him due to large group (our tourist bus was fully loaded). For ...
We chose this cruise to make up a portion of a round the world trip (Back to Back Cruises). We started in Singapore and ended 30 days later in Rome. We enjoyed the ports, other than Greece, and thought the Suez Cannel passage was spectacular. We have sailed with Celebrity over 40 times and the product is slipping due to cost cutting. The ship is showing it's age and needs a complete redo. ...
This was a cruise to tick off 2 bucket list items, Petra and Suez Canal,
We arrived early Monday morning and got to the port at 8:45 ish, Celebrity opened check-in at 9am for around 100 of us but we did have to wait until 11am to get on the ship.
We were expecting warm temperatures but not the 37-43 centrigrade we had.
We did the Magical Muscat tour and were not disappointed though the ...
