The Constellation is getting on a bit now but the old girl is still in pretty good shape, I’m not sure the recent update has made much difference (new shops and restaurants) but this is still an excellent ship.

As ever the service on board is outstanding, you cannot fault the commitment of the crew who all seem happy and focused on delivering great service. The quality of food in the MDR and the self service restaurant was also very good and even when I didn’t really fancy anything on the menu our waiter even got the kitchen to cook me something special. They worked very hard for their tips and deserved every penny.

The last time we were on this ship the sommelier and bar staff were well below par but this time they were brilliant, I don’t know if Celebrity have found a way of rewarding them better for all the guests with free drinks packages but they were certainly much quicker to serve us and there seemed to be more of them.

The only bugbear was that they put the upgrade price up from $10 to $14 per day which I have to say a 40% increase is a bit strong but then they sent us a flyer in the cabin saying it was $10 but refused subsequently to honour it.
