I had a pretty poor X experience a few years ago on the Eclipse, the captain having to write to each cabin to apologise type of experience. I wanted though to travel the Suez Canal though and so it seemed a good time to give the X another try. it started badly though when their greeters in Rome said I wasn't on their list and went on from there. The room had used toothpicks and peoples pills in ...
Me and my husband plus a group of couples of 11 did the 12-Nights Israel and Mediterranean Cruise aboard Celebrity Constellation from October 30 to November 11, 2018.
We are all seasoned cruisers having been cruised for 12 or more times aboard Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Carnival. It’s our first time to cruise with Celebrity. Here are our overall positive and negative comments.
Positive ...
I chose this cruise because a group of us wanted to visit countries the apostles did their missions. The installation were very good, good options were also good and the service in the rooms was the best. Our allocated attendee Dewi was the best o ever had in any hotel or cruise.
Seat down dinner was also a treat. The food selection was good and our waiters Arman, Linda and Adrian made our ...
Have always wanted to do a cruise to Israel and this one gave us 3 days to explore.
took the Celebrity transfer from the airport to the port, bus was old and a bit hot and stuffy. Did not like the port of Civitaveccihia, embarkation was in a tent. Your passport is taken away and given back to you on board when you need it for any excursions you have booked. It is a security requirement by ...
Classic Drinks Package-to 9$ a drink- except not highlighted you pay in full if the included drinks are from cabin mini bar or served with food in cabin, & you pay in full for $5/6 fruit & smoothies drinks from the Spa Bar. It's either a drinks package or it isn't, & it isn't. A rip off.
Horrendous loud screaming music in the buffet restaurant - turn it OFF! This is not a pleasant dining ...
There's a lot of rust all over the ship.
The public restrooms are almost always more dirty and smelly than the restroom on the average petrol station.
The WTC Abu Dhabi shopping mall has better quality on their toilet paper than the ship.
As always there are too many different kinds of music on at the same time around the Al Bacio, which is usually our favorite place to spend our time and ...
We were a family of 6 adults. This was my second celebrity cruise. We were in Aqua class. Disappointed in the cruise. The Suez Canal narrator did not have adequate microphone so he ended up speaking to people as they came up to him. Not at all like Panama Canal crossing on NCL. We used Aqua class and main dinning room menu- which was nice to have access to. Not as boring as repeats. The ...
The itinerary of this cruise is good, but affected by the closure of open decks in the hours of darkness for three nights while passing through the Gulf of Aden.
The Blu restaurant exclusive to Aqua passengers was excellent entirely as expected, with an excellent maitre D.
The buffet cafeteria standard of food was poor and bland. Often food was awkward to even reach due to the layout of ...
Cruised many times on Celebrity
Constellation does not meet the quality of others. Food very average.....Indian food bad..no variety ....service poor.....had to request change of dining room waiter....who said I have only. 2 hands.....onboard shopping really poor....staff said Constellation does not get the better stuff.....we had difficulty. spending our OBC
Best part is the ...
We have traveled on Celebrity before and despite some bad experiences gave them another try as the trip looked really good. The ports were great, especially as we did not do any of the ship's excursion tours which we did with others via roll call. The ship itself left a lot to be desired. The service or lack of would be a detriment if you expected more than the bare minimum.
We had a Concierge ...
