Celebrity Constellation Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My husband and I booked the Celebrity Constellation about 6 weeks prior to departure. We were desperate to get away from the long long winter in the Mid-West. Having been on several different cruises and various ports we selected this itinerary for the value and a new port we had not been to, (Key West).
We flew right into Ft.Lauderdale airport. Picked up a taxi to the pier, which cost about $20.00 and was a ten minute ride. The port seemed busy that afternoon but went into the terminal to find a long line that wasn't moving really fast? A Cruise Critic member that we met in line said that this was not at all common. Once thru security in the terminal the check in at the main counter was a breeze. We were on in no time. Total time in the terminal 45 mins
Once on board we were met with Champagne and Mimosas! Nice Celebrity touch. We were told to explore the ship and have lunch as the staterooms would not be available till 1:30p. And the cabins were ready right around that time. Our cabin and OV #3012 was just around from the elevator on deck 3 starboard and was very nicely appointed and very clean. The only complaint would be an outlet needed in the bathroom and the bathroom door opens into the closet and if someone is in there, you will bump into them. I was always announcing my departure from the bathroom to avoid and mishaps. Great TV and movie line up. Never saw the cabin steward much, maybe on the way to breakfast. Towel animal appeared only 1 night.
Cabin Review
We had cabin #3012 on deck 3 starboard just around from the elevator. And to my surprise that was never an issue. Not a lot of traffic or constant (Ding). Room steward usually around in the morning. He was very prompt to tidy the room with fresh towels and linens. Needed a blanket as there wasn't one on the bed or in the room. The cabin was tastefully decorated in browns and rust colors. only two outlets on the makeup vanity in the room. None in the bath. Storage was ample. But as you exit the bath if your cabin mate is in or near the closet look out you will collide. luggage fits nicely under the bed. No noise to speak of above us or below us. The cabin porthole is large and provides nice views. Really enjoyed that!
