Review summary

All in all a remarkable vacation. The ship had an elegant charm we adored. The service was Celebrity style impeccable. There were a few disappointments like the cancellation of the Panamá Canal excursion and the mob scene at embarkation, but overall an extremely relaxing and enjoyable cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was OK. It seems that no time schedule was enforced and that everyone got there around 11:30, making for a lot of congestion.

Entertainment

So…the staff entertainers were much better than my expectations. The showroom shows very good and the entertainment throughout the ship was surprisingly good.

Loved this smaller and older ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This Aquaclass cabin was open air with no “roof” on the balcony. Fabulous. Was concerned there might be noise from above; not a hint of it.

Ship tip

Don’t miss Al Bacio for the speciality coffees.

If only people would follow their appointment time we wouldn't have that problem. How did you get off in Ft Lauderdale when the Constellation is based in Tampa?
