Celebrity Constellation Review
Nice ship, lots of older folks; didn't work for me.

Additional details
I recently cruised for the first time on the Celebrity Constellation, on the June 12, 2016 12-night Adriatic cruise out of Venice. I thought I would share the good and bad.
I’ve cruised on Princess eight times and RCCL once, so I was looking for a bit of change from Princess. Our last Princess Western Caribbean trip out of Houston was a giant dud, since it rained on us the entire trip; we missed one port and really couldn’t get off on another.
I was cruising with my 16-year-old daughter, and had read that Celebrity tended to have as many or more teens as Princess. That certainly wasn’t the case on this cruise, as there were only 15 teens in the 15-17 age group. There were simply very few younger people (or young adults) on our cruise, and one couple told us that a staff member told them it was the “oldest” cruise he could remember.
Cabin Review
Aqua Class Balcony
OUR STATEROOM, 954: I was very happy with the size and layout of our balcony stateroom; it was almost equal to a Princess mini-suite. The shower was much larger than on Princess (I think a Princess mini-suite has a tub, but a balcony stateroom has a tiny shower). I also liked the little loveseat sofa, although we tended to use it as a place to stack worn clothes much of the time. I really disliked the location of the TV, which was only usable while laying in bed. I do not like watching television in bed. They need to move the TV to in front of the sofa. As a practical matter we never watched the TV once, since we couldn’t watch it from the sofa.
