Istanbul Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Black Sea cruising is usually offered in a limited time period. Since cruise itinerary is my most important criteria for cruise selection and the Celebrity Constellation filled the bill, I booked myself and several good friends (a total of 6 brave souls). In this writing, I will briefly review the ship, list the ports and include a few details of our pre and post cruise adventures. I have sailed ...

We arrived in Istanbul airport on day of departure, something we never do. This time we did and were very lucky. No trouble and used Celebrity Choice Air and their transportation to ship. Check-in was a breeze. This trip we had originally booked an aqua class room in one of the new rooms just added. At last minute we saw a better deal and took a suite on deck 6 for the first cruise and then ...

Having just read a review for the Constellation’s Turkey and Greek Isles cruise I felt compelled to put pen to paper (so to speak) as I think I must have been on a different cruise. We came away from the cruise thinking it was one of the best we’ve been on. I base this mainly on the general atmosphere and friendliness on the ship; the fact that the weather was very kind to us; and the ports were ...

My daughter shouted me this cruise from Istanbul to Rome. This was my first time cruising and I absolutely loved it - especially on the Constellation - what a beautiful ship with beautiful staff from all over the world. The ports we visited were amazing, starting in Istanbul (will definitely visit again) and other stand-out ports/cities such as Bodrum, Marmaris, Santorini. Everywhere we docked had ...

My daughter and I recently returned from our wonderful holiday which incorporated a 12 night cruise on the Celebrity 'Constellation' from Istanbul to Rome. We thought Constellation was beautiful. We found all the crew, from cleaners to Captain, to be wonderful - friendly, helpful, dedicated, efficient, professional, talented, good sense of humour and the fact that they were from almost every ...

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, ...

My husband and I recently enjoyed a 12 night cruise on the Constellation and then stayed on for a 15-night transatlantic back to Fort Lauderdale for a total of 27 nights and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We found the crew to be especially helpful, cheerful and as always, very hardworking. We had the best captain - Capt. Taszos! He was very outgoing; very considerate of the passengers, his crew seemed ...

YES... we are Celebrity "Elite" members.... we quaff our tea with a raised pinky, actually dress for formal nights, (tee shirts with a vest will apparently will do on Celebrity these days.... Ed Norton... you are in style on these ships !).... and get some lovely "perks" not avaialble to the "common" cruiser. This all being put aside for the moments something about the cruise..... "Celebrity" has ...
