1-10 of 32 Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews for Family Cruises to Baltic Sea from Harwich
There was a lot of good and some bad to this cruise. First the good: a fortnight of great ports and great weather. And the bad ? ... something has happened to "Connie".
Harwich was its useful efficient self for embarkation and we were on board within an hour of driving through the port gates. Cabins were ready on time and she still looked stunning.
Entertainment was more silver than golden. ...
This was our first cruise with Celebrity, having previously cruised with Holland America. Embarkation at Harwich was smooth and well organised within a few minutes we were welcomed on the ship and presented with a glass of Champagne. We were immediately taken to our cabin which was somewhat of a disappointment. We had booked a 2A cabin but Celebrity have recategorised their cabins and our was ...
After reading previous reviews, we were worried about embarking on a 14 day cruise of the Baltics, however our concerns were groundless. We had a fabulous time and would definitely go cruising again. The Constellation is a lovely ship and the service was outstanding. We were very pleased with our accommodations and were happy to have a balcony.
While all of the services were good, the ...
Celebrity features a lot of sales of tee shirts, junk merchandise with their logo, a "Russian Bazaar" sale and costume jewelry while the ship is at sea. Celebrity's motivation seems to be one of greed, not one that features the passenger's enjoyment of their ship.
Overall I found the ship to have a rather difficult layout. There is no main entrance to the main dining room from the lobby or ...
we sailed on the constellation to the baltics. our first time in europe. we took the shore excursions for every port and very happy with most of them. stockholm sweden we took a highlight tour on land and water nice but better off doing the hop on and off shuttle to see the sights inside the places of interest.st petersburg don't waste your time doing the metro station not a very good tour not ...
We are a fun loving couple, early 60's and this was our first cruise with Celebrity,having taken 2 other cruises with their sister company, Royal Caribbean.
Like some of your other reviewers, we were rather concerned with the negative comments about 'Connie' but delighted to find that most of the criticism was unfounded, in our opinion. Although not the most attractive looking cruise liner on ...
Difficult to be objective about Celebrity Cruises without going over the top.
Celebrity are, in my humble opinion, the best cruisde line in their class.
Constellation was, as ever, a wonderful ship - I only hope that the new Solstice class of ships live up to the reputation of Millennium class ships.
Boarding in Harwich was a joy, we had a Concierge Class stateroom , with a ...
Background Information: We are a married couple in our late 50's, who discovered Sea Cruising in 2005 and have been hooked on this type of holiday ever since.
Embarkation : Given we live only 32 miles from Harwich and arrived at approx 1100hrs, to find an empty Cruise Terminal, embarkation was a breeze and was on the boat by 1115hrs. However, I was somewhat annoyed to hear that embarkation ...
Journey to Port: What should have been a relatively easy journey of one and a half hours actually turned into a bit of a nightmare. We ended up in a stationery queue of traffic for about one and a half hours after an accident and we were getting seriously worried about missing the boat! We used the A12 which according to our check-in lady is notoriously bad so I would recommend finding an ...
This was our first cruise and one which we were nervous about as a young family as much was unknown. Our fears were allayed as soon as we walked on the boat to great service and lots of activity.
The constellation is certainly not the ideal cruiser for an 18 month old child as all services are for children 3 and older (although you could use baby sitting) and as such you will spend all your ...
