Review summary

All in all a cruise well worth the time and money. As in the past Celebrity excels.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy in general. We stayed in Venice pre cruise and took Celebrity bus to Ravenna the next day to sail. Long ride. Should have traveled to Ravenna and stayed. Less sail day hassle.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We were in Retreat class so very good in general. Luminae restaurant was really good. Staff on the Connie made all of the venues great.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Smaller ship so smaller theater for shows but great talent anyway. Cruise director actually did a performance and he was amazing. Alfreda Gerard put on two shows that were so good. Aretha Franklin & Tina Turner covers. Amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

May be the best cruise staff ever out of 21 cruises. Everyone was so happy and helpful. From our butler Deise to our Concierge’s Conner and Roland, very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Old Millennium class but in wonderful shape. So clean… our balcony needed some scraping and paint, shower head needed replaced. But otherwise for a 2002 ship AMAZING shape. Love the Connie.

We did a third party tour with Italytours.com. Small bus to Positono, Sorrento and then Pompeii. Fabulous guide (Powlly). Very informative and made sure we got back to the ship on time.

Great itinerary, with the exception of Brindisi. Celebrity should take this port off their itinerary! Constellation was decent, food fair to good. Prime veranda was small compared to the EDGE class ships. As always, the service was good.
