Celebrity Constellation Review
Rating by category
Additional details
First, Cruise Critic does not have an explanation of what the rating bubbles mean. I am assuming that 3 means good.
We enjoyed the cruise and would go on another Constellation cruise assuming the quality does not drop lower (the food quality on this cruise was lower than the food quality on summer cruise on Summit), and the price were reasonable.
The service was great everywhere on the ship with the exception of the shore excursions desk. I don't know if they were incompetent or if they weren't given good information. My experience is that some of Celebrity's descriptions of the excursions were inaccurate.
Cabin Review
The Family Veranda was very nice. Definitely an excellent choice. The only minor issue is that there can sometimes be noise from above when furniture is moved.
The really nice thing is the corner cabin we had had a huge veranda with 2 recliners, a table and a small sofa. Only minor issue is that you can be seen from above if you are at the end of the veranda.
Port Reviews
San Juan
Really like San Juan however, the ship did not dock until 3 PM which severely limits what you can do in port.
St. Maarten
Really liked St. Maarten, went to Orient beach. Would have preferred more time in port.
St. Thomas
Went to Magens Bay Beach, nice beach but way too crowded.
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Nice port however Celebrity's description of the shore excursion was NOT accurate. Really annoying. We did the Essential St. Kitts. The description said there was an optional beach break included. The result was NO beach break.
