Celebrity Constellation Reviews

Summary:  This ship is obviously due for a re-fit, it's clean but dated and needs brightening up. The staff were helpful and friendly as we have come to expect on cruise ships. The food was generally very good in the self service and main dining rooms but the choice of speciality restaurants if you wanted to pay extra was limited and not worth the money. The entertainment was about average for cruise ships. The library was below standard with very little subject choice. The tipping was a joke had we not opted out it would have cost us $562 for 2 people for 10 days based on the ship's recommendations. On top of this a 20% service charge was levied on every drink which was already very expensive eg $12 for 330ml bottle of Peroni. For this reason we will be avoiding American owned cruise lines in future.

Summary:  First time cruising with Celebrity. Ship was a bit tired in areas but some very nice areas too. Reflections lounge a lovely, bright, modern entertainment venue. We were in Blu and would always book Aqua again. We dined in San Marco for a change but very dark and dingy and too big, so very noisy. Missed not having a wrap round walking deck, but nice outdoor areas. Love the size of ship. Entertainment on sea days a bit limited to quizzes, sales, and port talk......went to Sushi den, lasted 15 minutes, no interaction or tasting! Top deck cinema was good but needed a bit of shade. On the whole a good first experience of Celebrity.

Summary:  This cruise certainly did not have the 'WOW' factor advetised by Ceebrity Cruises, the ship was very tired looking and on serveral occasions there was very loud maintance work being carried out in the early hours of the morning. The saving grace for us was the resturant staff who were excellent, in particular the team who served us each evening. The overnight port stay would have been better if it had been in Dubai or Abu Dhabi instead of Mumbai. The lack of a laundrey was an issue as the only option was their service which was expensive and they could not iron items of clothing.

Summary:  Great cruise. Singapore to Dubai via India. Our 3rd celebrity cruise but first on a Millennium class ship. Very happy with ship. Never seemed crowded. Preferred dining room layout to the solstice class ships. Roomier. Food excellent. Great variety, particularly in Ocean View buffet restaurant. Service in main dining room a bit slow at times but good otherwise. Think kitchen struggled to cope the nights there was an extra special cook to order dish. such as lobster or Beef Wellington. Very friendly crew. Must have said Good Morning about 20 times on way to breakfast!! Entertainment - high quality guest artists and varied shows. Ships own productions ok. Best was the Broadway Show, particularly Les Miserables. Loved the Modern Strings duo who played at various venues around ship and the guitarist. Lacked enrichment talks about the countries we were visiting. "Beyond Podium " talks apart from one on Buddhism not relevant to itinerary. Ports of Call talks more about selling excursions than giving information. Loved Cafe al Bacio. Went there most afternoons and had quality coffee and yummy cakes and Modern Strings music. Bliss! Cabin great. Outside on deck 3 midship. Comfortable and bright with large circular window and no higher deck overhang. Good sized shower and nice built in bathroom furniture. Cabin in good convenient location. Kept perfectly by our steward Yacob. Atrium a bit dull looking compared to Solstice class ships. Rendevous bar area a bit dull too but that may be addresses in the upcoming refurb.Could have done with a Piano Bar in Atrium or something to give atmosphere. Most attractive bar area was deck 4 martini and crush bars but very popular and hard to get a seat there. Pool and top decks had plenty of sunbeams but finding shade was difficult. More areas with sun canopies would be good. All in all a wonderful experience. had forgotten how good Celebrity is since 5 years since last cruise with them. Will be back!

Summary:  15 days traveling from Singapore to Abu Dhabi - ship's a little dated but overall decent. food not as good as other Celebrity cruises but overall no complaints. major issue with cabin insofar major noise at any time we docked as we were adjacent to gangway - Celebrity clearly were aware of this issue and gave no prior warning. ports were poor particularly India and I did wonder why I even got off the ship.

Summary:  Cruise was excellent dissapointed with hotels in Singapore stayed 12 years ago not updated at all. and especially Aubi Dubai room on 10th floor disco on 17th kept awake until 3am Check in at Singapore port was chaotic never had such a bad experience taking over 2 hours totally disorganised

Summary:  Very pleased with the cruise and the amenities that the ship provided. The food was excellent. The pre hotel stay in Abu Dhabi (the Corniche) and the hotel stay in Singapore (Copthorne Waterfront) at the end of the holiday were both excellent and all the transfers between airports, cruise terminals and hotels all went smoothly and without a hitch. Thank you IGLU for your very professional handling of any enquiries we made.

Summary:  We travelled on this lovely ship in December 2018, and enjoyed every moment. The food in all restaurants was simply amazing and staff went out of their way to be helpful, warm and friendly, throughout our trip. The room was extremely well laid out & the furnishings were of high quality. Our room was kept spotless. All areas had plenty of seating around the ship & it never flt crowded. Bars were good. Entertainment good. Destinations were interesting, though not ones we'd always return to visit again (Dubai or New Mangalore, for example) Overall, a wonderful holiday!

Summary:  The cruise was amazing, everything was very good - we had a fantastic time. Some of the excursions arranged through Iglu weren't so good - we had a late departure to the grand prix and then the 3 coaches were lost as to where to set us down taking over 2 hours to get us there when taxis were only taking 20 minutes. The transfer from the ship to the airport was also bad, we were in a big group waiting to leave at the set time of 07:00, but the rep wasn't there, when we found him around the corner without any signs he got the coaches loaded but didn't take names - so took until nearly 07:30 before we left. we arrived at Dubai airport at 10:00 as traffic was bad and our boarding time was 10:50! we still had to check in baggage, security and get to the gate, so not a great finish to the holiday as we worried about missing the flight. we did have good excursions in Sicily and Athens, but the Muscat day found most of it closed and the guide saying it was a bad day for a tour. We wouldn't recommend booking Iglu excursions.

Summary:  Lovely ship clean and good decor excellent facilities staff and food
