Not what it used to be!, January 29, 2015
Reviewer: jenl31

Pros: The itinerary was the reason for going on this ship!

Cons: Expensive!

Date of cruise: January 16, 2015

Departure port: Ft. Lauderdale

Region visited: Caribbean - Southern

Cabin category: Balcony

Cabin number: 6143

Good for children: No

Good for teenagers: No

Sailed many times on Celebrity and have actually sailed two previous times on Constellation, however, this time this ship fell way below our expectations. Service was not what it used to be from our room steward to our main dining room server. Food was OK but really below expectations in main dining room. In the specialty restaurants, food and service were excellent. We truly paid a premium for this cruise and were really disappointed right down to the fact that you no longer receive "evening chocolates" on your pillow. We received them on one evening (a formal night) and thought we would receive them on the second formal night. We were mistaken! Bar staff is nowhere near as friendly or attentive as previously. We can only guess that it is because with "automatic" gratuities they no longer "care"! What a shame!

Better than average cruise experience but not a great one, December 23, 2010
Reviewer: cruisefritz

Pros: Good overall value and decent cruise quality

Cons: Too many relatively high extra-charge items and services

Date of cruise: December 4, 2010

Departure port: Ft Lauderdale

Region visited: Caribbean - Southern

Cabin category: Jr. Suite

Cabin number: 6117

Good for children: Yes

Good for teenagers: No

If you don't use many of nor mind paying extra for additional items or services that are not part of the basic room rate and standard dining and entertainment offerings, then a Celebrity cruise would be a good option for you. If, on the other hand, you hate to be "nickel and dimed" for almost everything extra as well as to be constantly solicited for additional charge items and services, then you would be better off with one of the more upscale cruise lines that include more than the bare basics.

Very positive!, September 9, 2010
Reviewer: mauisue17

Pros: Staff was attentive and lovely

Cons: Certain areas of the ship were showing wear

Date of cruise: January 1, 2023

Departure port: Miami

Region visited: Caribbean - Southern

Cabin category: Balcony

Embarkation and boarding was quick, efficient and friendly. This is our second trip on the Constellation. I am happy to report that it lived up to our expectations again. On boarding, the now near inevitable glass of either champagne or juice was offered and accepted. We checked out the location of our cabin and were quite pleased. Drawer and storage space were more than adequate, to the point where one nearly had to remember: "Oh, yes, where did I put that...?" Luggage not having been delivered (would have been a surprise had it made it ahead of us) we moved our activities to Deck 10 for lunch. This was the only somewhat disappointing meal, in that a few things seemed to definitely show signs of skimping. This appeared to be a one time and only time anomaly, as it was never repeated, and food there was consistently good to very good. The balance of our first day was spent in reacquainting ourselves with "Connie." With this voyage, the concept of "Anytime Dining" has been introduced, which means, if and only if you prepay tips, an understandable request, if you did not desire or select assigned seating you can choose any time between 6 and 9:30 p.m. by making a reservation for any night or the same reservation (our choice) for the entire voyage. We were traveling with friends and didn?t have a problem being seated at a table for six or eight, as we requested. We had an absolutely excellent meal in every way, with friendly and well timed on spot service. The first night's entertainment, as is usual, is a "sampler package" of what may be experienced throughout the balance of the voyage, with the cruise director introducing himself and the on board-entertainers, with the production show performers giving a taste of what they may be doing. Let's talk a bit more about dining and food quality. In our opinion, food quality has, with few exceptions, greatly improved since our prior experience. Two lamb dishes (one rack of lamb, the other lamb chops) were as tender and flavorful as we have ever had anywhere, at anytime. The steaks I had were decent but not outstanding. Other meals were exceptional, as was service and attentiveness. Two very nice brunches were served during the voyage, one several days in, the other near cruise end. These events show a great deal of planning and care, with numerous and highly varied dishes being prepared. Two chocolate fountains, one dark, one milk, with sliced fruit for dipping, were available and nicely done. Summary of nightly entertainment: There are several solo entertainers throughout the ship, including an excellent guitarist, pianist, a chamber orchestra, and a four-part male a capella group, which rather than being fixed, wanders about and pops up here and there. Surprise! There was the usual complement of nightly performers on stage, comedians, a solo xylophone player and a pianist/singer, and an outstanding singer/dancer production group of more than a dozen young men and women. During the day there were usually several trivia contests, interesting and well done by staff. There is the usual shopping arcade with all anyone could want or need, attractively displayed and staffed with friendly smiling help. Ports visited: After two sea days, Charlotte Amalie, St.Thomas; St.Johns, Antigua; Castries, St.Lucia; Bridgetown, Barbados; St.Georges, Grenada; Scarborough, Tobago; Oranjastead, Aruba, and finally, Willamstad, Curacao. We had been to most of these ports before but all were lovely and we had fun beaching it. We loved being away during one of our worst snowstorms at home. Iced towels and cold water or fruit punch at return dockside are a welcome and nice touch. All in all, this was a very enjoyable experience on the Connie. We were told the Constellation is doing a transatlantic in April for a refurbishing in Germany. The Connie is showing her age and this refurbishing is needed. Disembarking in Miami we were off the ship and on our way in record time, well before our scheduled time. Would we do the Connie again? Absolutely, and looking forward to its new look as it comes out of its "freshening up" in Germany. I would suggest to Celebrity that there should be other ships in the Caribbean with a 14-day itinerary.

Sailed the Constellation Panama Canal in January 2010. Loved it., May 13, 2010
Reviewer: oakdaleroad

Pros: Ship's layout and Spa Cafe were my favorites.

Cons: Showing wear but understand it is in dry dock getting a makeover. Can't wait.

Date of cruise: January 3, 2010

Departure port: Miami

Region visited: Panama Canal

Cabin category: Inside

Cabin number: dont' remember

Been on this ship three times and three other Celebrity ships. Easily my favorite line for the amenities, layout and friendly crew. Can't wait to see Constellation after its makeover this summer. Sailing next January on Celebrity's new Eclipse. Excited about this.
