Tampa Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

It was a good cruise except ror the noise every morning at 5:30. The boat is old and in need of some serios restoration. It was our first time on Celebrity although we've been on 22 other cruises; mostly Carnival,but we're getting a little older now and seemed like a good boat to go on based on reviews. The food was very good in buffet and main dining room. The entertainment was very good. The ...

Cruise was reasonably priced for a balcony cabin. Cabin was spacious with a wonderful amount of storage space. Food in main dining room was very good. The servers were good but some were more attentive and pleasant than others. Sushi restaurant was nothing special. Chairs around pool were too close together and no service. Room steward was excellent. Entertainment was poor. The dining room ...

Most of the time, what the industry calls a "Cruise Vacation" is called for. I did a search for long cruises, 11/23, and then by price. In my experience, the lines are pretty similar. The Constellation is a lovely ship, and we had fond memories of an amazing trip to the Med and Turkey years ago. This 12 day run goes to some new countries and ports for us- Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica. ...

The Constellation ("Connie") is one of the older and smaller ships in the Celebrity fleet and while our group much prefers a smaller size ship experience to the large Apex monsters, the Millennium class ships (we did the Infinity last year) are just really showing their age. Worn furnishings and carpeting in the cabins, outdated TV's, showers, rusting hull and balconies just don't live up to our ...

The ship older but very well kept. I've read reviews on the contrary . I don't agree. We thought it was very clean. the attendants in all areas were exceptional. The shows we saw were good but i think younger audience may be disappointed in some of them. Husband loves the shows so he was happy . Buffet was so great we only went to dinning room 1 time it was good as well. the stateroom was ...

Have always wanted to go to Belize and this cruise included Belize. On board, the buffet left a bit to be desired and staff members could have been more helpful do to my handicap. Restaurant food was excellent and staff was very nice,, kind and friendly. Casino left a bit to be desired as far as being handicap friendly and staff left a lot to be desired especially in my opinion being a female ...

This is nearly an 8,000 word log/review. If you just want the summary, scroll down to the bottom! Celebrity Constellation 3-17-23 Friday, March 17 – St Patrick’s day & embarkation at Port of Tampa: The day before embarkation we received ‘urgent messages’ that embarkation would be delayed until 12:00 due to Norovirus on the prior cruise. So, our 11:00 assigned time became 12:00. Not ...

We chose this cruise because of it's overnight stop in Cartagena Columbia, it was one place we had not been to. The stops were, Leaving Tampa, FL, Key West, FL, Cartagena Columbia/Overnight, Colon, Panama, Limon, Costa Rica, and Cozumel. We were the only vessel in Key West, so we were at Mallory square. The busiest port was Cozumel, their were 3 vessels at our dock near Margaritaville, and ...

We choose cruises by the destination as we have no desire to do the same loop over and over again. Unfortunately many cruise lines rarely offer new countries or options other than the USA as homeports. As Canadians we find Celebrity do change things up and have done Asia, India, Middle East, Antarctica/ South America with them. This cruise appealed because of Panama and Colombia, new countries for ...

The cruise was great, but there were a couple of downsides. The food, room and entertainment were excellent. However, we felt that the amenities were a cut below Royal Caribbean. We are going on a RCCL cruise in April so we will be able to see which one is best after the pandemic. I was surprised that Celebrity added a $17+ charge for lobster dinner. This was always free. The real awful ...
