To be fair, my wife and i had a fine cruise. We had booked a cruise on MSC Splendida due to the route and we were not disappointed. For October the weather was excellent. It is a pity there is always a time constraint not allowing you to visited all the places you want to, however we knew the route and the timetable.
Best part of the ship is the crew. Friendly and helpful, hard working, making ...
We chose this cruise because of the wonderful itinerary. Malta, Cyprus and Israel were all new to us and having the chance to spend time in Rome after the cruise was a big factor in our decision.
The Constellation is a very nice ship. Some of our fellow passengers felt it was getting worn looking, but we felt everything was in excellent condition and upscale.
The food in the dining room ...
First cruise to celebrate our 40th wedding, had an issue with guest relations which they couldn't resolve and not happy with their attitude.
that being said we had fantastic service in Blu restaurant and the cabin staff.
Don't like the heavy pressure selling.
Organized our own excursions which saved at lot compered to celebrity equinox and met some really nice people.
entertainment ...
Everyone we talked to suggested we try a Celebrity Cruise, having completed 30 other cruises with different companies we decided to give it a go, Largest ship we have ever been on, oozed luxury in most areas always sunbeds available,
Removed the gratuities once on board, however were reminded about them the day before we disembarked by letter with suggested rates to give. Tipped our cabin ...
Excellent ship and destinations and the arrangements all seemed to go smoothly. Our problem was service which was erratic and sometimes plain rude and unhelpful. Many staff were exceptional such as our waitress at dinner-but try getting good service on the customer desk-service with a scowl every time.
I get the impression that Celebrity is on a savings drive. Our friends in a normal cabin did ...
I really enjoyed the above cruise on the celebrity constellation in October 2015. The employees of the company go out of their way to make you feel great. It was very disappointing not to go into Israel . Instead we went to 4 Greek islands. A shame there wasn't something else to break of all the old churches and look alike places, even tho they were interesting.
Other cruises had many ...
Although we had a wonderful time on board due to the great people we met from our Cruise Critic contacts, we felt the ship's atmosphere and entertainment were sorely lacking.
Having travelled on the Infinity twice, we expected the same experience or better in the Constellation. We were very disappointed. The crew and Maitre "D" in the dining room went out of their way to please us. We didn't ...
The good:
Our cabin was comfortable. Not spacious, of course.
Steward service was extraordinary.
Service in the Silhouette restaurant was excellent.
Wonderful itinerary.
The not-so-good:
The food -- both in Silhouette, and the Oceanview buffet, was inconsistent. Of course the buffet is prey to the usual buffet limitations...runny eggs, lukewarm food. Silhouette did some ...
Sailed on the constellation, last september, and found so much lacking this time.
Dining: service not as good, did not pay attention to what i ordered. the meat was always dry. one night we had lamb and everyone after said it was chewy and hard to eat at all.
Worst ever entertainment, only one show was really worth watching that was goronwy thom., the rest we saw last year nothing ...
I want to give it a 3.5 if 3 is average and 4 is very good.
After thorough researching I though I found a cruise ship with good food. I thought that with celebrity aligning themselves up with top chef and overall other friends of mine saying the food was not bad in the oceanview cafe, I thought it was be safe to assume MDR, and the pay restaurants would be great.
After my first experience at ...
