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 were so excited for our stay on an "upper scale" cruise line! Stayed in Aquaclass. Where were our towel animals? Where was our stateroom attendants? We never set eyes on him until we were leaving! We asked for ice to chill our wine in the bucket provided in our stateroom, and was brought a small cup, so we asked for more, and never received.
The one show we did watch was a not-so-funny ...
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 ...
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 . ...
In what was to be our fifth cruise on the Celebrity Constellation - and likely our final sailing due to the ship's slated repositioning to Europe, the Mideast and an Asian base in the coming year - we were eager for an interesting itinerary on a ship we had come to love. This "grand dame" of Celebrity's Millennium class ships is becoming somewhat obsolete by today's standards for larger, ...
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 ...
We flew in 2 days early to enjoy Fort Lauderdale. Stayed at the Hilton Marina and was convenient for water taxi's and our annual trip to Coconuts for dinner! The morning of our cruise we had a flash storm at 7am that we got to watch sweep across the intercoastal waterway from our 8th floor balcony. The power was shut down at the port so previous cruisers were late in leaving. After about a 15 ...
Let me begin by saying, we always have a good time when cruising. It's a wonderful vacation experience with food, service and entertainment. However, we all may have a different opinion on level of quality, etc. and we all can have a difference of opinion regarding the ship. That being said, our opinion regarding the Constellation is that the ship is mediocre - as was our experience based on a ...
This was our first time cruising with Celebrity. We have cruised on Disney twice before and Holland once. We had an Aqua Class cabin - 1133 (large veranda). The view from the room was great, but the boat rocked quite a bit. My only compliant was the veranda door would not stay open or shut when you were outside - it banged back and forth due to boat rocking. Room was noisy at night - I ...
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 ...
