Review summary

ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GREAT TRIP, ASIDE FROM THE DEBARKATION FIASCO. WE EVEN GOT TO BE "HOLIDAY HEROES" BY RESCUING 16 PEOPLE FROM A MAKESHIFT BOAT. THE CAPTAIN & CREW MADE SURE THEY HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS. ISN'T THIS WHAT THE SEASON SHOULD BE ABOUT? BEING KIND?

Embarkation

5 out of 5
VERY SMOOTH & FAST

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

ENJOYED MOST MEALS BUT SOMETIMES THE FARE WAS A LITTLE TOO FANCY FOR ME. I MEAN "PORK KNUCKLES?"

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
BY CHOICE, I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN TOO MANY. HOWEVER, PATRICK THE CRUISE DIRECTOR MADE EVERYONE SO WELCOME AND HAPPY THAT EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T PARTICIPATE, IT WAS FUN WATCHING.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
EXCELLENT SERVICE BY MY WAITERS. HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS TO GERRY WHO ALWAYS MADE SURE I WAS HAPPY. CABIN STEWARD, EDUARDO, DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING EVERYTHING SQUEAKY CLEAN. EVERY PERSON I CAME IN CONTACT WITH WAS SO FRIENDLY AND DID ALL THEY COULD TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OK. AFTER 50 CRUISES, THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST CREW EVER!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
WELL, SINCE THE SHIP IS REALLY UP THERE IN AGE, IT COULD DEFINITELY USE MAJOR OVERHAUL. HOWEVER, EVERYONE DID THE BEST THEY COULD TO TRY TO KEEP IT SAFE.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
CABIN WAS GREAT ALTHOUGH THE BALCONY WAS KIND OF RUSTY. I WAS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH BED, PILLOWS THAT WERE PROVIDED AND EDUARDO KEP THE CABIN VERY CLEAN.

Ship tip

DON'T "JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER." EVEN THOUGH SHE IS OLDER THE SHIP IS STILL LOOKING PRETTY GOOD AND REMEMBER YOU MAKE YOUR OWN GOOD TIME. IT'S UP TO YOU.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
OK HERE GOES.......THE SHIP WAS EXTREMELY LATE DUE TO FOG. HOWEVER, THE CAPTAIN &CREW DID EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO MAKE THINGS ENJOYABLE. THE ONE MAJOR, MAJOR COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THE LUGGAGE TAG SYSTEM. HOW COULD THEY MAKE A CONCIERGE CLASS PASSENGER ONE OF THE LAST TO DEBARK? THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PLEASE. THERE IS A WAY I AM SURE TO SEE WHO IS CONCIERGE CLASS SO THIS CAN BE DONE. i SAW PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONLY BEEN ON ONE CRUISE DEBARK HOURS BEFORE ME. .

So because you are concierge you think you should be first, ships try to accommodate passengers with airline flights

Thanks for your detailed review. Glad you had a good time on the Constellation. Was on it in September and loved it. Yes, it’s in need of a little TLC.

Disembarking goes by 1st people taking they bags off with them and then by your airline flight time. The later your flight the late you get off. We always carry our bags off with us so we are in the 1st group.
