Embarkation. My husband drove me to Cape Liberty. My sister arrived about the same time I did and my other sister was pulling into the pier. We all met outside and went inside to check in. There were only a couple of passengers ahead of us so it went very quickly. Once we were set, we boarded the bus right away and off to the ship we went. We received our welcome champagne and went straight ...
We are both in our mid 40's and very active. We enjoyed the gym, but it was somewhat limited. This ship caters to a somewhat older crowd so it's a little low key as compared to a Carnival cruise. Not a great ship for kids or teens. For adults it is very relaxing. We paid for the spa which we really enjoyed, but once we joined the spa we felt a little squeezed to buy massages, facials, etc. You can ...
CRUISE INFO
This review is of the Celebrity Constellation, sailing from NJ to the Western Caribbean on 11/07/06 - 11/18/06. This was the 4th cruise for my wife and I, ages 30 & 32. This was my first sailing with Celebrity, and my opinions are based on my experiences and comparisons to my previous cruises.
An unexpected opportunity arose for us to take a vacation, so I quickly looked into what ...
Our only other cruise experience was nine years ago, on the Celebrity Zenith from New York to Bermuda, and we happily anticipated this 11-day vacation on the Conde Nast #1 passenger ship, The Constellation. We liked the idea of not having to take an airplane, as we live in the tri-state area, and the ride to Cape Liberty is just about an hour and a half. We hired a car service, as we always feel ...
This was our 21st cruise with Celebrity, and it was wonderful. There was an outbreak of Norovirus on the cruise that is discussed in threads on the main board; it made life on the ship inconvenient overall and made life miserable for the passengers afflicted but we were fortunate that we didn't come down with anything.
We live about 45 minutes from Cape Liberty, so our trip to the port was easy ...
This was our seventh cruise, our second Celebrity cruise, but our first on the Constellation. This was our sons first Celebrity Cruise and he really had a great time, so dont hesitate to take your children. Our son met several teens his age (16) and made many friends. He said he would definitely want to cruise Celebrity again as well! We saw the Counselors with the small children doing all kinds ...
Wow!........the Constellation more than lived up to the great reviews we'd read! We just got back from a ...9 day cruise out of Bayonne, NJ to Labadee, San Juan, St. Maarten and Bermuda. We had 8 1/2 days of sunshine with only a half day of rain and fairly rough seas. I'm terrible at reviews but here goes... We arrived in Bayonne at 11 a.m and we started boarding at a little after noon. It was so ...
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:Hi :),This was our FIRST cruise and my wife & I took it to celebrate our 40th anniversary which is coming up this June. We are Canadians and hail from just outside Ottawa,Ontario,Canada, I do not have all the computer skills to make a report but please bare with me.
This would be interesting to the new cruisers out there probably more than the seasoned veterans. We left ...
We recently returned from our first Celebrity Cruise. We are cruise lovers and firmly believe that a bad day at sea beats a day at work any day. We've sailed on almost all of the mass market lines including, Carnival, NCL, Princess & RCCL. This review will be written from the perspective of a comparison between Celebrity and the other cruise lines, especially Royal Caribbean which has been my ...
This cruise on the Constellation was our first cruise and it will not be our last. We read member reviews on Cruise Critic to assist us in making a decision as to which line and which ship. We were not disappointed.
We booked this cruise through a travel agent 7 months prior to sailing. We found a good price for Concierge Class (CC) and decided to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in style. ...
