I have done many cruises with Celebrity and constellation is one of my favourite ships . This was a nice cruise itinerary and most of the ports were enjoyable apart from Santorini which was far too busy having 4 Large cruise ships all in at the same time which made it far too busy and quite stressful it is not suitable for people with mobility issues. The ship was very clean and the staff were very friendly there were however a few issues I found the entertainment in the Main theatre was not upto usual standards apart from the brilliant late show at 11pm . The food was good but a little repetitive. Tuscan grill was disappointing the portion sizes were very small and it certainly was not worth the extra money . I always managed to find a subbed even on sea days . Deck 12 were they show the outdoor movies was always quiet with very comfortable sofas I spent sea days lounging watching movies . The staff were brilliant very attentive there seemed to be areas where they had staff shortages but they coped very well . An enjoyable ship but they need to improve on their theatre shows

Main dining room was fairly good the menu was somewhat repetitive, the buffet was good but not as good as it use to be and The Tuscan Grill was very disappointing the portions were extremely small but the desserts where delicious not worth the money , La Petite Chef was a wonderful experience

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
I was very satisfied with the service in the Main dining room and Speciality restaurants . The room stewards were under a lot of pressure due to staff shortages but they did an amazing job couldn’t do enough for you and always with a smile on their face
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very comfortable this was a concierge class cabin I did have to ask for binoculars and tea and coffee making facilities which were then provided. The cabin had amble storage very nice toiletries comfortable sun loungers although the position of this cabin had an overhang from the restaurant on deck 10 which did block the sun to some degree. Plush bathrobes were also a nice touch as were the afternoon canapés
Just a small port with a short walk into the centre with a long street of shops and some nice bars on the front overlooking the sea there was a handy double decker bus to take you round the island
I found Santorini stressful the Que for the cable car was absolutely ridiculous I waited well over an hour and a half and it hardly moved so I ended up getting a boat to Oia then a bus over to Fira which was extremely busy as there were 4 cruise ships docked . I ended up having to walk back down from the top as the Que for the cable car was so long it was quite a harrowing experience as the stones are slippery and it took me nearly 45 minutes to get down .
