Celebrity Constellation Review
Cruising with Celebrity isn't what it used to be, in my opinion.

Additional details
We chose this cruse to revisit Greek islands and ports on the Dalmatian coast.
I rated this cruise average, but that is being generous. Poor is too harsh, but.....
Every time we board a Celebrity cruise ship these days we feel as if everything is being dumbed down an cheapened. You get hassled for upgrades to the drink package and to buy specialty dining packages.
Cabin Review
Concierge Class 3
Deck 9 on a Millennium class Celebrity ship isn't the best location. The expanded deck 10 above over hangs your veranda and gives you a closed in feeling on your veranda. Choose deck 7 or 8 if possible. Otherwise the cabin was fine. As usual not enough hangers for ladies. Our assistant cabin steward was more responsive and visible than the steward.
Port Reviews
Mykonos
Again we were let down by Celebrity. They had a free shuttle bus to Mykonos village, but it didn't take us all the way. We ended up having to walk about a kilometer to the center of the village. Little did we know there is a water shuttle at the port that cost only 2 euros each way to the village center. people on ships port that couldn't dock were bettor off as their launchs took them directly to the village center. Mykonos has an interesting small village to walk about, shop and have lunch.
Zadar
90 minutes in a bus to visit a church, have a snack at a highway rest area restaurant and then a return to Zadar for a 30 minute walk about in the old village with an additional 30 minutes free time. Not worth getting off the ship for.
Koper
Bus takes you to different villages where you can spend one hour or more with coupons for snacks. Walk about at your own pace, have lunch, etc and then reboard a bus for the next village. Buses run every hour.
Rome (Civitavecchia)
Hotel San Giorgio offers a free shuttle to the cruise port and shuttle from Rome airport for a fee.
