Harwich to Europe Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A little bit of background info. Family of four - 2 adults and 2 teenage boys (16 & 15) Previously on Princess Emerald and RCI Independence of the Seas. Travelled from North Wales to Harwich (staying one night in Cambridge pre-cruise) EMBARKATION This was a breeze - mentioned numerous times on this board! SHIP I had been worried about the 'state' of the ship following many ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This was our 15th Cruise, 4th with Celebrity, and the second time on Constellation, the first being New England and Canada in October 2004. Because of this we were keen to see how Constellation was looking after 5 years, albeit having had a refit. Had read some reviews which left us a bit concerned.We drove to Harwich having pre-booked car parking. Some were paying at the gate so a slight hold up, ...

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 ...
