Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews for Family Cruises to Baltic Sea from Dover

We just got off a long anticipated cruise to the Baltic on Celebrity Cruise Line's Constellation and the one word that keeps slipping through my lips is "underwhelmed". For my 71st cruise and my partner's first to the Baltic we did a lot of research and settled on this ship for a number of reasons: the itinerary was fantastic, hitting the major ports of the Baltic with ample time in most cities, ...

We joined the ship in Dover for our 1st Celebrity cruise. Embarkation was very smooth and the complimentary drink was very much appreciated. No other cruise line we have used offered this. We gave taken 7 previous cruises with various other cruise lines. We booked an inside cabin and were very satisfied with this. Bathrooms were well equipped with complimentary shampoo and lotion dispensers and ...

Having enjoyed Celebrity Summit in Alaska a couple of years ago, we were looking forward to our first trip to the Baltic on Connie - especially so as we only had a short, 2-hour drive to Dover this time, rather than a flight to Vancouver! She, and her crew, met all our expectations and more. As far as the ship experience is concerned, it was the best overall of our 14 cruises taken on 8 different ...

My wife, 12-year-old son and I sailed on the August 18 Constellation sailing through the Baltics, stopping at Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Riga, Stockholm, Warnemunde, Copenhagen, and Helsingborg. Overall, the trip was excellent. Embarkation was very efficient; we had stayed with relatives in London and hired a driver to take us to Dover, and we were on the ship within 15 minutes of ...

Flew into Heathrow on Virgin Airways.Got our bags & went through customs in 1 hr. Pre & post cruise accommodations through Celebrity with the Grosvenor House - about 2 blocks from a tube stop and buses. Great hotel featured a full breakfast as part of the price. Bus picked us up at 9:30 & we arrived in Dover about 12:00 with quick check in. Good start. Our room was SS 9123 which is located ...

Travel to Dover was a bit of a problem due to motorway accidents, we travelled the day before and stayed overnight otherwise we may have missed the ship as traffic was so bad at the weekend. Embarkation was really good, after we parked the car and got back to the terminal, it only took minutes to board. we were shown to our cabin, deck 8 concierge class where we found chilled champagne and fruit ...

This was our first cruise with Celebrity, but we have been on several others with Sitmar, Princess, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean. We sailed out of Dover on June 30, and disembarked in Copenhagen on July 14. We visited Oslo, Gdansk, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Tallinn, Visby, Warnemunde, and Copenhagen. On this cruise my parents, who have cruised with Celebrity before as well as the other ...

June 1st It should have been an exciting occasion. This evening we were scheduled to join my parents in Philadelphia where all four of us would continue on to England and begin our anticipated two-week Baltic Cruise aboard Celebrity's Constellation. However, Lynn (my husband) and I were off to a bad start: Stuck on the runway at the Pittsburgh Airport for 3 hours because of bad weather. Now we ...

Because of bad weather, we missed airline connections and ultimately, the ship's departure. Since we had purchased our air travel through Celebrity, I naively assumed they would rebook us. Wrong! We had to get ourselves to Oslo, the next port of call. Their Norwegian agent who was supposed to meet us never showed up and had to ultimately be tracked down by the airport Visitor Center. When we got ...

We had high hopes for this journey on the Celebrity Constellation. A fine looking ship awaited us in the Dover harbor and we had a smooth embarking process and were on board quickly. This made up somewhat for the 2 hour delay awaiting Constellation transportation from Gatwick to the ship. Our previous one and only cruise was on Holland America lines and their ship the Statendam to Alaska which a ...
