Review summary

We are avid cruisers and have logged 23 cruises to date.  I purchased this particular cruise as a surprise for my wife's 65th birthday.  One reason we went on this cruise was that it was Celebrity and was visiting 2 places we have somehow missed in the past (St. Croix and Haiti) and was revisiting one island we have only experienced once (St. Barth).  The Constellation was a perfect size at 965' and was not over crowded with a total of 2,300+ aboard.  It had been nicely decorated for Christmas.  We were always able to find a table immediately on the times we chose to eat at the buffet on deck 10.  The staff in both the cabin and dining areas was outstanding--as it always seems to be on Celebrity.  We were so pleased to be seated with a younger couple from Argentina that we had lots of fun with throughout the entire cruise.  The captain of the ship deserves special mention as he was without a doubt the best, most personable, funniest and approachable of all the captains we have ever sailed with.  While the ship was a little older than some of the newest and grandest out at sea it was nicely refurbished a couple of years ago and was in very good condition.  The entertainment was also as good as any we have experienced at sea.  All in all it is a great ship, great itinerary and great time to sail in the Christmas time frame.

Ship tip

The food was good enough that we never even considered dining in one of the specialty dining rooms at extra cost.
