Fabulous cruise - Having read the reviews before I sailed I was a little worried as I have had 2 previous cruises with Celebrity on board Reflection and Equinox. Both newer ships and bigger but there was no need to be worried as "Connie" was fantastic and I honestly preferred this cruise to the previous ones. I think as the ship was smaller you meet more people and this was lovely. My cabin was on Deck 7 and was great, plenty of storage space and my Stateroom Attendants were just amazing and could not do enough to ensure your trip was problem free. The only slight criticism I have on the cabin is that the valance on the bed looked a little old and past its best. I ate in the San Marco Restaurant on 2 occasions and the food was lovely but ate most of the time in the Ocean View Cafe and must give a special shout out to Jonathan from Jamaica who cooked the most wonderful salmon. The guys and girls in Cafe Al Bacio were wonderful, always happy and somehow knew what you wanted after only a couple of days. Entertainment on board was good and plenty to cater for most needs, I went to the Theatre every night for the shows and these were really good, Production Shows, Comedy Juggler (so funny), Magicians, Violinist and Singers were all amazing. I booked shore excursions for 6 ports and these were all really good, great tour guides who were very knowledgeable. The ports on this cruise were all amazing, Slovenia was stunning, Croatia was as beautiful as many people had told me and Italy was lovely too BUT the most amazing was sailing in and out of Venice - a true WOW moment.
Got the shuttle bus from the Ship into Zadar, beautiful place and one of my favourites, the sea front is amazing and town lovely to wander round
Dubrovnik was fabulous, exceeded my expectations. Lovely city to walk round, narrow streets and it never felt crowded, walked part way round the walls and the views were just stunning. Booked a mini bus tour which last 1 and a half hours and this was great, travelled up to where the cable car stops and the views were amazing, then onto a beautiful waterfall.
