Review summary

We will never use CelebrityAir for another cruise!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The embarkation port is a 3+ hour bus ride from Venice's Marco Polo Airport at a cost of $45/person! Once at the port, embarkation went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main and specialty dining rooms were great. The 10th deck buffet was not as good as most other cruise lines...runny eggs, greasy bacon, poor juice service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Trivia and other games, silent disco, spa, bubble pool

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Celebrity's musicians and vocalists were great but guest entertainers were only good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Guest Services, room staff and restaurant staff were great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Constellation is beginning to need a cleanup as rust and minor maintenance was noticed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was changed once soon board due to that section of the ship being closed off. We were assigned 9068 in Aqua Class which was an upgrade and was a good room

Ship tip

Be careful using CelebrityAir as they will route you on the cheapest routes which, in our case were subject to airline cancellations!

You should definitely have your travel agent book your air separately and fly in a day early. We also stay an extra day so the crowd Isn’t so bad at the airport. I never use the cruise line air.
