Celebrity Constellation Cruise Reviews for Family to Europe from Harwich

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

My husband and I were were very reluctant to go on our cruise with Celebrity to the Baltic, after having read reviews on this forum about the ship, the staff,  the food, the excursions, the entertainment, the cabins.I was so worried about going that I contacted my agent, who in turn, forwarded my e mail to Celebrity who are supposed to contact me within 28 days, Nothing yet, but early days, only ...
